I offer my opinion openly.
One thing that is clear today, the latest happening last night, Tuesday, our divided country is being identified as to who is agreeing with our constitutional rights, and to who wants to abolish them. A good thing. It’s always good to know your enemies, even in our own country. President Trump has laid the ground work with a winning team. The fight is on.

Jean's Comment's: "Just Before The Sun Set"

"Just Before The Sun Set"
After a busy day I rushed out to take a picture of the sun just as it was going down. I could see all the colorful streaks going across the sky from my kitchen window. Within minutes after I snapped the picture, the sky turned dark. I am anxious for it to come up again in the morning. I hate going to sleep and missing out on so much of happenings in God’s big world. I know my sleep is very important so I don’t have to wait to be scolded before I go to bed, like my dad used to do. I still hear his words every night, “Sis it’s time to go to bed.” It’s funny how some things never leave your mind for long. God lets me visit with my mom and dad, and my husband so much while I sleep. I can never thank God enough for His blessings to me.
I started another painting today. I now am working on three. Some of the paint I use has to dry two or three days before I can continue. That’s why I keep at least two going all the time. I put off paying some bills today because I didn’t want to quit painting. I must do that the first thing in the morning or I will again put it off. By the end of the week I am sure I will be ready to go out to eat with my friends in the singles club. There are some older folks who know a lot of good jokes. I always enjoy hearing them and laughing my heart out. Crazies have more fun than anybody. Since my husband passed away I don’t laugh much. He used to joke about every word I spoke. And about other peoples words too. He was a natural born humorist, and didn’t even know it. People laughed at him when all he knew what to say was pop a joke. It came so naturally. I no longer have that bright side of life with me, and it’s been very hard to get used to. I have one son who inherited his dad’s humor, but I don’t get to be around him much.
I keep my mind open for news from heaven. I live from day to day by trusting in the Lord. He promised me many years ago to never leave me nor forsake me. He has kept that promise all these years, but I have to stay tuned into Him. If He closes one door He opens up another. I’m never shut out. I don’t know my future, but I know who does. I trust him with every breath I take. He didn’t promise us a bed of roses, but He did promise us to hold our hand. Our job here on earth is to pick someone up when they fall. Not to always be trying to knock them down. I will stand strong against every foe. How about you?
God Bless

"Business Entertainment Pleasure And Rest"
I just got home from eating and visiting with friends at the singles club. We had a nice crowd, and everyone enjoyed sharing some of their week’s activities. it’s a night out that I always look forward to. Nothing can take the place of close friends whom you can depend on at all times when needed. What peace and joy one is made to feel when joining hands in prayer before eating. After a couple of hours the group is ready to go home and watch the continuous protesting that is growing quickly out of control. We are made to wonder if our nation will ever be safe again. I do thank God for a support group such as I sat with tonight, although we never mention the condition of our country. We all want to pretend that all is great in the world of today. After all it does no good to talk about it, and everybody has a right to their own opinion. Therefore we keep our opinions to ourselves. Tonight was only the third time I have attended this meeting, and by now I am convinced it is a blessing from God that I was invited to join. How great He is, and how marvelous just to know that He is always by our side.
I was able to accomplish several things today before I had to start getting ready for this meeting. I took in an estate sale, and although I didn’t buy anything I did have plans to buy a car for my son who lives in Houston. I had made it a matter of prayer since I had never bought a car without my husband being present. I had put out a petition before the Lord, and I am totally in agreement with myself that I was not suppose to buy the car. The situation took all of my morning before I could turn down the bidding. Then I came home and painted for a couple of hours with a lot of improvement showing up. I had a couple of interesting phone calls, so all in all this has been a great day for me. In other words my day has not been in vain. I just wonder how I got so much accomplished in one day. It would be nice if every day could be like this one.
I want to say before I sign off that without my faith in God I would not be here. He is the reason I am still strong in body, soul, and mind, and He answers my prayers every day. I might liked to have had Him answer in a different way than He did, but I know He always knows what’s best for me. I feel so blessed to be able to trust him with all my heart. I am happy and satisfied with whatever God chooses for me. It is hard for me to understand how He could love me when I am so unworthy, but I know He does, and that’s all that matters.
God Bless

"Hello Spring Good Bye Winter"
The weather today is almost like spring in Perryton, Texas. I can see buds trying to open up on the trees. I am so ready. I feel like I could saw off that tree limb and put it in the dumpster by myself. I hope I still feel that way when it warms up a bit more. My ambitious, “get on with your life,” attitude is running away with its self. Yesterday and today I have painted a life size portrait of President, Donald Trump, and First Lady, Melania Trump, dancing at the inauguration ball. It seems like I may be able to finish this painting in less time than usual when painting portraits. It is a large painting, but it is going together extra nice. I am being stimulated to paint this picture as a therapy for grieving the terrible loss of my nephew as he died so unnecessary. While riding his bicycle to the little Quick Stop Store near his house, a speeding motorist ran over him from behind and crushed his body. At the news of this awful tragedy I became very angry and was going to make sure that driver was punished to the highest degree. He had no license or no insurance. My nephew lived with his aged mother and helped her to pay rent and utilities. My sister is now without any means to continue the rent. Somehow God didn’t want me to get involved and planned a way for me to withdraw my anger. I was amazed when I suddenly got the urge to do this latest painting. I am completely at peace, and do not worry about my sister’s future. God will take care of her. The memorial service will be this Friday 2, 3, 2017 in Oklahoma City, and I don’t plan to go. How nice it is to listen to the voice of God when He is guiding you through a crisis.
I have to say this past week has been an extra exasperating, and sorrowful one, but through it all I have been made an overcomer. I feel great victory ahead. My work will continue until God calls me home. I do believe God takes care of those who caused us great pain and worry, because the Word says, “Vengeance is mine I will repay, sayeth the Lord.: If we seek vengeance then we have our reward already, sayeth the Lord. For many years I’ve been remembering this promise when someone does me or some of my family wrong. It has always proven to be true. Soon, and very soon the Lord will take us out of this sinful world to live in peace and harmony forever. I would just like to remind everyone a person being persecuted unjustly will not be a victim of unpunished culprits. That’s why we all are living in devastating times. We are paying back for what we did to Jesus Christ. He is the example, and whoever else causes someone to suffers unjustly will also be made to pay back
I thank everyone for your prayers during this difficult time.
God Bless
