How nice it is to have gotten an unexpected rain last night. Everything in the yard looks so revived, and happy. I guess the wheat is all cut because it usually never rains until all the wheat has been harvested. The cooler temperature is more than welcome. The grass will get mowed tomorrow afternoon, After needing it for two weeks now. I had to locate another lawn service since the boy I had been using was gone for several days. I am slowly, but surely getting all my work done. The patio contractor will be here Monday to start on that roof replacement after the bad hail storm we had.

I just a few minutes ago got some good news I had been waiting several months for. It is personal, but another strong proof to me that God still answers prayer in his own time. I had almost given up on this request, but actually I had just decided to leave it to God, and not try and rush Him. When we do that, things start to happen that we don’t understand, but it all means that God is working things out for us. God is perfect, and He will not give us gifts that are not perfect. Sometimes it takes Him longer to hand things over to us because we are not quite ready for it. He does all things well, and well, He does all things good. We have just been elevated to a higher level of faith. What an awesome God we serve.

Many times when we are handed an answer to prayer such as this it calls for a celebration all by ourselves. We may act different when attending a meeting with friends, or we may look different, but the fact is we are celebrating our happiness with God. No one else needs to share some of our blessings. How many times did Jesus say to those whom He had healed, “go and tell no one?” Too many to count. It’s called humbleness. Only our family needs to know what God has done for us if it is something others might think we are boasting of. All we need to make known is that God has answered another prayer for us. We can shout from our own housetops without others hearing us.

This is just one of the request I have made to God, and I am expecting others to follow soon. I know He will only answer those which will make me happier, and a better Christian for His service. I cannot always determine that, but God always knows best. I do believe when we are not happy, God is not happy. He loves us more than our own earthly fathers. A good father always wants his children to be happy. Our Heavenly Father knows every pain we bear, and wipes every tear from our eyes. What more could we ask? Thank you Father for answering our prayer.

God Bless

Flowers are suffering from a heat stroke. 6-21-2017 Perryton, TX

                We need rain badly. Hurry farmers and get your wheat out. 6-21-2017 Perryton, TX


We have had 100 plus degree weather for several days. The grass and flowers are dying from heat strokes even though I’ve been watering. We usually don’t have rain until all the wheat has been cut, but it must surly be close to that time now. 108.106, and in between has been the temperature for several days now, except for one or two. All summer the roses and flowers have barely been surviving. There has not been any real beauty to them. Last summer was such a contrast. I had beautify flowers for several months last year. I really miss the beauty of my roses and flowers. I guess I can look forward to next spring and summer. That’s what the farmers have to do with their wheat crops. Some years their wheat is not even worth cutting because of dry weather. Then some summers they have a good crop. It keeps us from becoming bored because of anxiety. My great fruit harvest turned out to be nothing but throw-away fruit. There was lots of plums, apples, and berries on the trees, but the terrific hail we had put holes in them so the birds were able to feast on what they could peck into. I believed they managed to peck on every plum and apple still on the trees after the hail. We still have lots to be thankful for, so I am not complaining, just stating facts.

This is Wednesday the middle of the week, and I am counting the days till I can be with my friends again for dinner, and fellowship, Saturday night. I need more of this kind of fun stuff to do. Home alone can, and does get deadlocked quite often. I want to move out of my recliner, but I don’t want to move out of my recliner. I never thought I would ever get into a time in my life like this. I have always been energetic, and full of ambition. I just never had to be alone like I am now. My husband was the joy of my life, now he has left so I am managing with only one-half of me. I haven’t found anyone who can take his place. Not that I want to, but I know he will never come back to this earth. I still spend  a lot of time with him in my dreams, and sometimes I wake up angry at him. He could also do that to me sometimes. My wake hours are too many, and I am alone during most of those. There is no one to share with, or blame my mistakes to. There is no one to smile at me when I unload my frustration on them. There is no one to take the hammer out of my hand and go do the job I started to do. My food doesn’t taste as good when there is no one to say, “this is delicious.” I am waiting for things to change, but I have no idea just how that may be. Only God knows.

God Bless

"Great Tasty Steaks"

                                Grilling steaks for Chuck and I. 6-20-2017 Perryton, TX


Nothing could be better than juicy steaks grilled to perfection. Last evening was our time to take it in. With coals left over I grilled two large pork chops also. All was very delicious. We had baked potatoes, corn-on-the cob, and salad to go with the steaks. We still have plenty for today. I am truly thankful for all God’s blessings.

After I have spent time mourning with others for their great losses, I accept my blessings, and share them with others. None of us ever get over the deep grief we have to endure, but we can receive strength by trusting God. I am still fighting anger I feel for the evil North Korean Regime that so brutally, and slowly tortured the 22 year old American college student to death. I posted that awful story yesterday just after he was pronounced dead five days after he arrived back in the states. He came home in a coma, and never knew he was back. The United States is outraged by this brutal, inhumane act of a Satanic power. I long for this evil countries pay back. A few more American students are still in that country, and I am sure are going through the same treatment the 22 year old did. Every since the beginning of time, there has been certain men and women chosen to go and do the dangerous work needed to accomplish a stronger, Godly nation of their own. Some people don’t understand this, but if they read their bibles regularly God will show this to them. I believe, even though Otto Warmbler was not sent to N Korea by the US government, as far as we know, he was a true American Patriot willing to risk his life for his country. I also believe he had no idea that the N Korean Regime was so evil. I truly believe he was seeking friendship with this country. He was an intelligent young man who thought he could improve relations with his country and the N Korean country. May this Martyr lie in peace till that day of recognition. May peace be with his parents and all who mourn with them.

As I continue to watch the news I pray daily for our President, and Vice President, along with their team of experts who are also laying their life on the line just like our service men and women are doing every day. War has been forever, and will continue forever till Jesus comes back to redeem his people from all sin. I never feel like I have done all I could have done, but I am trying every day to do what I know I can do, praying, and passing God’s Word unto others as best as I can. This also is now considered a risk of being murdered. The entire world has been filled with evil, and I feel sure there is not much peace left except for those who truly trust God. “Take my hand precious Lord, lead me on.”

"Jesus Loved The Tortured Student"

Jesus answered my prayer today. Although I wished it could have been different, I accept His plan. 6-19-2017 Perryton, TX.


I just heard the sad news that the college student who came home from North Korea after being held for 17 months charged with stealing a poster. This was a false charge, but the innocent 22 year old student suffered torture and humiliation beyond anyone’s imagination. North Korea finally released him to come home after they put him in a coma that could never be healed except by the miraculous power of God. For some reason God wanted this young hero to give up his life here on earth.

I started praying for this young man the day I saw him on TV being charged with 15 years of hard labor. The tears in those innocent eyes broke my heart. He had been the Valedictorian of his high school class and had given a superior speech. For reasons of his own he chose to visit North Korea, and knew not that he would be landing in a Lyon’s den. His highest ambitions immediately crashed. He plead for his life, but the evil, heartless, monsters of that country laughed at his plea. A few days ago It was announced by the North Korean leader that they were releasing him, but that he was in a coma caused by some disease. They claimed he had been in that coma for a year. A team of American medical experts were flown to N. Korea to bring the student home. He finally landed on his home soil again, but died a few days later. The test made by American doctors declared that he did not have the disease the Korean officials claimed he had. His brain tissue was all but gone. He never knew he had been flown back home.

I had to ask Jesus why He didn’t answer my prayer. He seemed to tell me He first had to obey the will of the Father. It was time for this young student to leave this evil world of hate, and sin, so he took the young man home. My heart is still breaking, but I have to believe God does everything for good reasons. I send my deepest sympathy to the parents of this student. I feel their pain, and know that they could not have remained strong all these months without the help of God. I heard the father give a news briefing after his son arrived home. It was very hard for him to talk, but while wearing the jacket his son wore when he gave his Valedictorian speech, he managed to stay strong. I absolutely admire the parents of this brave, young hero. I feel their pain so real, and I pray nightly for their recovery.

So as I was trying to understand why this innocent life had been taken after I asked Jesus to restore his brain, I got an image of Jesus proving to me that He cared and prayed also, but the Father was ready to take him. I colored the image the way I saw it. It is my own revelation. Oh, how I love Jesus. No one cares for me like Him.

God Bless
