The beautiful blue sky is making a nice background for my pine tree. As you can see it is loaded with pine cones. 2-6-2016 Perryton, Texas.
The birds were flapping their wings this afternoon so fast I only managed to get one picture of them. Several were in the pine tree, but they don't show up. 2-6-2016 Perryton, Texas.
I feel spring in the air already. I took a walk through the yard discovering several green sprigs coming through the ground. The birds were dashing in and out of my camera view so fast I couldn’t get but one picture. The excitement the birds gave me a push right to the broom and dust pan. I swept and cleaned the patio. I also cleaned the charcoal grill and will be cooking out soon. Hurrah! I made it through another ugly winter. Needless to say I have much hard yard work awaiting me. Rick is now able to help me, and that I am so thankful for. He escaped hospice care by a hair’s space. The doctor said find a place to take him as soon as possible. The rehab personal was unable to find a place that would take him. By faith I brought him home, and fed him Ensure with a teaspoon until he gradually began to gain some strength. I took him to Amarillo last Wednesday to see two different doctors for blood tests and an MRI. Both results came out positive, which seemed to puzzle the doctors. He was taken off two of his medications. They requested to see him again in two weeks. They just can’t accept the clean results they are getting from these tests. Rick and I know why he has gained weight, and is now eating like a horse. His appetite can’t be measured. He seems to never get full. He now seems happy, and eager to get going Yes, I had an extra hard winter, but somehow I did get through it. I spent 25 days of the winter in a motel room visiting Rick every day. The love of family and friends were poured out upon us, and I am glad to say once again God healed my sweet son. This was the second time he was brought back from the grave. Surely there is something more for him to do before he leaves us for good.
We are open to whatever God leads us to do. I don’t even try to foresee it. I am happy and content, but could change my routine in a minute if God wills. I will not say I’m going back where I left off, because that is not for me to decide. I am thankful for every minute of my life, be it pain or pain-free. Either way I will give God the glory for helping me endure. Jesus endured, and so can I. I will keep believing there are greater blessings ahead. I live with that thought each day. I have a dream also, but it has no pattern. Whatever becomes of the attempted cut-out , if that happens, will be proudly accepted by me. I am sure there is something different going to happen in my life. Just wish I knew what it is. Like a child, I am excited.
God Bless

"I Love My Comfortable Bed"
Just can't let the sun go down without saying, "see you in the morning." 2-5-2016 Perryton, Texas.
A different view of the sinking sun taken at the same time. 2-5-2016 Perryton, Texas.
I am usually up by day break in the mornings. I watch the sun come up every morning except when the clouds have it covered. I see it go down every evening except for same reason. The hours between these two events can sometimes seem long. I am a light sleeper, and cannot sleep over four or five hours a night. And that is not all at one time. I never get out of bed except for a bathroom visit, so I have a lot of hours to rest and meditate. So many thoughts come to me that I want to remember and write them the next day, but somehow everyone of them are gone when I get up. I will not allow myself to get up and write, because I need the rest, and any sleep I can possibly get. I assume God doesn’t want me to write some of the things that I think are important. Maybe they were for me personally, and not to be shared by others. I would much rather sleep all night than write a mental letter that I never get transcribed. So I work with the daylight hours as much as possible, and use pictures to help get my point across. Some day I believe I will be able to describe my inner emotions in a way that people can understand, but will never know the real feeling I live with. I am sure everyone can relate to this “human thing” in some way, but I wonder if ever another person has experienced the same unhealing wounds that penetrate my soul. I am one of the most happy, sorrowful, and contented persons that God has created, but I cannot explain that feeling. I know that I am a worthless sinner saved by grace, but I feel so blessed to be visited daily by the Holy Spirit constantly giving me faith and confidence in myself. I say myself, because I am the one still here on earth trying to be the best servant of God that I can possibly be. I live by faith and not by works. I have a God-given duty to help others be the same. An effort is all it takes. The Holy Spirit will do the rest. How easier can it get? The hardest part is dying to our own selfish ways, and give our best to others. That takes the love of Jesus, and everyone needs that kind of love. Its free, just ask for it. I can’t explain how we are suppose to condemn some things in life, but Jesus did that. If we have the Holy Spirit dwelling within us we will be guided by Him. As long as we know we are yielded to the Spirit, we cannot be too far from right, no matter who may try to rebuke us. We must hold firm to our own conscience, but we must also love and pray for those who do not trust us. Spiritual blindness is the worse kind. One cannot read by braille if they are spiritually blind. They remain in the dark if they refuse to hear God’s word. I cannot think of anything more sad than seeing someone who is spiritually blind.

"Making A Way To Be Part Of Picking Up Pieces"
The comfort of my living room is showing in many ways. 2-4-2016 Perryton, Texas.
I have to tell you how blessed I am to be able to sit in the comfort of my own living room, and be able to campaign for the candidates that I have confidence in. I spend several hours each day sending out encouraging comments to the candidates who are trying hard to bring back America from the brink of ruins. My computer is the most valuable tangible possession I have. It lets me feel right in the main stream of the political pillows that are still supporting our country. The weakest structured of these pillows, and the cause of the deterioration to them, have to be removed. Without the strength God gives to those who trust and believe in Him, It would be impossible to restore and win back His respect from a very sinful nation. It can be done, and it will be done, but rest assured, no person who fought against the plan of God, will be forgotten even though they repent. Judas did repent of selling Jesus for thirty pieces of silver, but he couldn’t escape the consequences of his sin. He went out and hung his own self. I do not want to be a Judas, but if I fail to admit that I am just as vulnerable as he was, then I too could be another Judas. I believe this is a time when only full-fledged voters, who will be deciding on the leader of America, must be true believers of God and country, and not wishy-washers. Changing their minds every time they hear a new,(lie), call it whatever you may, without confirming it. It is a lie without a factual statement from a registered news organization. However, even CNN is a registered news media. And look at the lie they put out to the voters who were waiting their turn to vote for their candidate at the Iowa Caucus. Some had to switch to another candidate after hearing this lie. Some people fail to look at the past performance of News Channels. How trustworthy are those who do not give full attention to what’s being reported by the news media? Like I have tried to explain it doesn’t matter who is right or wrong about their candidate, but the wrong will suffer for their mistakes more than those who tried to keep them from happening. I trust God will give America another chance and let Donald Trump make America Great again. Its in His hands now, and although He expects His people to do their part, He will be the deciding factor. Yes, for sure your vote, whether right or wrong, or whether you fail to vote at all, will be counted at the end of your journey. You can’t skip this one and expect to pass, just the same as you can’t pass if you fail to listen to the right voice when trying to decide which way to vote. The teachers work hard to educate their students. Have we been good listeners?

"Round One Is Over"
Tonight Donald Trump failed to win the Iowa Caucuses trailing Ted Cruz by four points. He was second place winner with Marco Rubio just one point behind him. This came as a surprise to many people including several high ranking politicians and well known celebrities who had endorsed Donald. I believe I was awakened to the reason this happened. Everyone knows that what made Donald Trump so popular among the American people was the fact that he was an outsider, and everyone was fed up with the Washington elite. There seemed to be no excuse for the elected congress persons to let our country become a pile of rubble. For seven years they sit by and let the President veto their bills, and use his own executive power, unconstitutionally, to dictate to the American people. To most people the hope of restoring our nation, and bringing back liberty and justice for all, was all but gone. Donald Trump sprung up with a great enthusiastic voice that quickly brought people back to life. He said all the things that everyone was thinking, but didn’t have the nerve to say. He showed no fear nor favor to anyone. He was an outsider who wasn’t going to be bought off by anyone. A rarity that most people never knew existed. He remained in the lead with almost all polls even going into tonight’s Iowa Caucuses. What happened?
Last night on the eve of the Iowa Caucuses former Senator, Bob Dole, (R-KS), the 1996 Republican presidential nominee appeared on a special edition of Fox News Channel’s “Your World,” criticizing Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX). Dole ripped Cruz for being “an extreme Conservative” and argued Cruz would shut down the government given the opportunity. Dole said no one in the Senate likes Cruz. He called Cruz a RINO.
When Cruz won the Iowa Caucuses tonight I was pronged with this thought. Quote, “No one in the Senate likes Cruz.” Sounds as if Cruz was a lone ranger in the Senate. Isn’t that what people were saying when they were backing Trump? They didn’t like anyone in the Senate. The Senate failed the American people. Only Cruz stood up to them and argued. Well I have to agree with former Senator Bob Dole. I don’t believe Ted Cruz will be able to accomplish any more as President than he did as Senator. He is a good man, but it will take a mean person to fight this giant America is facing now. Nice is no longer in the scope. Come on, lets get Donald Trump in the White House as quick as we can. He is the giant we need now, not later. As far Rubio, he tried to be a Senator without attending the meetings. What a joke! Is there enough people left in America who can still see the light at the end of the tunnel? I still have enough faith in America to believe there are enough people to elect Donald Trump as the next President.
God Bless
