"He Who Walks With Jesus Is Never In Darkness"

Bright sun again lighting up my life. The light of the world forever. 12-3-2015 Perryton, Texas.


I missed writing my blog the last couple of days, but I was too busy keeping my duties as a mother, nurse, and repair shop visits to do my blog. I made several trips to the druggist and grocery store before I had to put my vehicle in the shop to replace a fuse on the heater. I trust everything is running smoothly now. The sun seems to tell me that it is. “Thank you sunshine.”

I sat up last night until after midnight watching the news unfold about the terrible shooting in California. I have seen these kinds of things coming for a long time, and believe it will only get worse. The leader of this nation has opened every gate, and used every force he possibly could, including  unarming our police protection, in order to give our freedom to a group of evil believers. If he lives out another year as our leader he will have completed his mission. Why did this happen to America? Because of sinful, unbelieving, thug-type people who did not care about Jesus blood that He poured out for them. They will be unmarked by the blood, and will suffer a death that cannot be called merciful. “The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:23 KJV. What a great legacy some of us can claim, left by our parents and grandparents. I am so thankful to be among the blessed of God.

My mission is not over yet. I am trying every day to fulfill God’s will for my life. I am met with opposition every day, but it cannot over power my determination to hold out till the end. “Greater is He that is in me, than he who is in the world.“  1 John 1-5. I stand daily upon that scripture. He will never fail us. I believe God promised me my household, even though we sometimes wonder how that could be. Many will disagree with that, but I am positive the God of my life promised me that. I traded my blood for Jesus’ blood, and I gained a lot more than I lost. I will never forget to thank Him.

Reading in my local paper today I see where five people whom I have known for years have passed away. God is calling names pretty regularly  now. This city is small, and that many obituaries within a few day period is a lot. How real it all is becoming to me. I feel blessed to still be able to work for my Lord. When I can no longer work for Him, I am ready to go and live with Him forever. This life has been good to me, and I trust my children can say the same, but I will never say I was the perfect mother. I do believe I tried the best I possibly could to be that perfect mother. The record will answer for its self.

God Bless

"Jesus Wipes My Tears Away"

                    Weird December clouds. Taken at 2;45 p.m. on 11-30-2015 Perryton, Texas.



I am not sure what these clouds mean, but they certainly are weird looking. We have had snow on the ground for four days, but is melting a lot today. I am not able to see any action at all in the skies today, except for rolling, dark, clouds. I suppose the usual amount of jets are still flying, but I just can’t see them. It makes for a lonely day when the jets can’t be seen, or the birds be heard chatting and singing merrily. I long for spring, already. Even when there is no snow I don’t like getting out in the cold and driving. I can pass a lot of time away with my painting, but since Rick has been sick I have put that away for awhile. I cannot be my best when I have a son who is not doing too well. I know I need to, but this mother has to stay dedicated 100 percent to her children even though they are grown. Rick has no one but me to help him, and he would be helping me if the situation was different. He was a big help when he first came to stay with me. I will never let him go as long as God will allow me to keep him.

As I was leaving the grocery store a short time ago, I met an old friend coming in to buy food to take to a café at our lake about twenty miles away. She has a daughter who operates that nice eating place. This is about the third year my friend has helped her daughter to run that place. The mother is 90 years old and uses a cane to walk with, yet she was out in this bad, cold weather getting supplies for the café. She greeted me with an amazingly strong voice saying, “hello Jean, how are you?” It was too cold to tarry and speak very long, but I cannot believe this dear soul’s courage. Of course her dedicated Christian life to Jesus has kept the joy and strength she displays daily. She lives here in town, and drives the twenty mile trip from once to twice every day. She is not the only friend I have had that equaled that Godly strength and courage. I hope I can join them by reaching their age and still be faithfully working for my Lord. I pray God’s blessing upon them daily. It does get harder for everyone each day, but the reward gets greater.

Only those who have their faith anchored in God can endure the hardship and sometimes beatings that are placed on them even by loved ones. Jesus never complained, and I hope I can be a lot like Him. I know with every lash I am made stronger. I would much rather take the lashing than to give it. “Help me Lord to hold out till the end.”

"The Battle Is Brewing"

Sad situation. Second crop of asparagus has given its life over to Mr. Winter. Four days ago it still stood 6' tall. 11-19-2015 Perryton, Tesas.

                        Nothing but gray skies all around the globe. 11-29-2015 Perryton, Texas.


Dark gray skies cover our part of the world this morning. I am anxiously waiting to see the sun. I didn’t have to wait long. As I look out my window now, I can see the sky is getting brighter. Isn’t this just like our God? He knows just what we need. Oh, how I love Him more each day.

This Sunday morning I am at home caring for Rick. He is doing better each day, but still has a ways to go. He ate a good breakfast for the first time since he’s been home from the hospital. He thinks he is beginning to get his taste buds back. He is feeling well enough to have vigorous, political, discussions with me. That is a game we both like to play. It got pretty boring around here for awhile. We are back in full swing with this political war among American citizens. I believe that we are facing the biggest civil war that America has ever known. “A war of religion.” Many of us may lose our lives, but we won’t lose our souls. That is if we have dedicated our lives to Jesus. Prayer is our greatest tool, and it cannot be taken from our hearts. I love my comfortable home, and all the privileges that go with it, but I am ready to trade it anytime for a eternal home in heaven. By God’s grace the deal has already been made. I just ask God for peace until that time.

I am totally convinced that disastrous times are ahead of us, because of the soaring, sinning nation we have become. The fools multiplied faster than the wise. Why did this happen? Because God wanted His own to be thoroughly tested and tried. He would not accept seconds. What should that mean to you and me? Face the fire and trust God to shield us. He said He was our shield and our buckler. He also said, the battle was His, and not ours. That does not mean we are free from the battle. It means while we put our best effort into winning this war, the end results will be decided by Him. I believe we are expected to ask, and trust Him for guidance before we take a stand for the ones we want to put into our leadership offices‘. We must remember our feeble minds are nothing but trash without His direction. How many times can we look back at our track record and decide that God wasn’t really the one who led us into some situations. Maybe we should admit that fact and be more positive the next time we make a big decision. God makes no mistakes, and if we are not sure after a short time of oppression, that we made the right decision, then it probably was not God directing us. I would rather stay in my fox hole than act upon my own feelings.  In fact I would wait until I was assured that it was safe to come out. Am I saying that God will let us know for sure what our next move should be? Absolutely, but we must be directly in touch with Him. If so, He will not fail to hear us when we ask.

"Sharing A Recipe For A Blessing"

                    Backyard snow still partly covers the ground. 11-28-2015 Perryton, Texas.


Two days after Thanksgiving we still have snow on the ground. Its been too cold for any to melt. The streets are slick and hardly anyone is driving on them. So thankful for a nice warm home to hole up in. I have to think about all the unfortunate ones who are living on the streets or under bridges. My prayers reach out to them. Far too many people mock, and feel no sympathy  for the underprivileged. Many say, “they brought it all upon themselves.” That may be partly true, but didn’t we all fail in some way or another to do better with our lives. Many of those homeless souls are products of poor up-bringing. They struggled to survive any way they could. Very seldom do you see a beautiful flower growing amongst a bed of thorns, like sandburs or dandelions. Without loving parents, its very hard for young children to manage on their own. Even if a parent is loving, but not able to provide proper care, the child often grows up to be under educated, and resentful of others. There is no way the neglected grown-up child can ever recover from such twisted and hopeless life. I read an article recently where a mayor of a large city believed the only solution to the homeless problem so many cities are dealing with was to euthanize them all. I ask myself the question. Have I done everything possible to keep even one person from becoming homeless? That is a pretty serious question to ask ourselves. Especially if it means one of our own. I feel as if those who have rejected their own will face serious consequences while they themselves live in this world, as well as the after life. I didn’t choose to escape the responsibility of helping my children when they needed help. I may not be as free as a bird, but I am at peace with myself. My joy continues to build, and my faith does deliver me much happiness. I am ruled by the hand of God, and not by human power. If my life ends today I am satisfied with my soul. I do not believe anyone can ever retire from God’s work. If they do, the blessings automatically stop. “Lord help me to hold onto you even in times of great opposition.” 

I do not believe I am preaching to the choir. I felt led to say these words because I feel like some do not understand that each one of us must answer for our deeds while we are here on earth. Very few excuses will suffice. Even those who may be mocking my words, I warn those are God’s words and can be found in the Holy Bible. Contest them if you please, but be prepared for the damnation that will follow. I am but an humble servant, and my life is full of sin, but I ask God each day to forgive and help me do better tomorrow. Most of my sins are not known to me. But the Word tells us that no one is perfect, and we must repent daily.

God Bless
