"The End Of The Prune Story"

Plums have all been harvested. The wild wind didn't want me making prunes. 6-10-2020 Perryton, TX

So I won't be making prunes after all. We had a fierce wind storm all day yesterday, and almost every plum was lying on the ground this morning. More than a bushel of green plumes that were ready to start turning purple. I had found my information needed to make prunes, and was excited, but mother nature didn't think it was a good idea. Everything in my yard took a beating yesterday. Tree limbs lying everywhere. I'm thankful no trees got blown down. I did get a slight injury to my eye while walking to the bank. I could hardly see where I was walking from the car to the bank. I walked past a big ever green tree that slung a huge limb into my face, and it hit my eye with a force that nearly knocked me down. I thought I might need to go to the doctor, but I first prayed, and this morning my eye is still a little red, and a bit uncomfortable, but no permanent damage I'm sure.

As if the high wind wasn't enough to upset me the electricity went off at 6:30 p m. Five hours before I would be going to bed. I got a candle, and some matches ready for darkness because I was sure it would be morning before the power lines were repaired. I decided to go on to bed a little past 10 o'clock, so I blew out the candle, and crawled in. I was sure I had turned everything off that was on when the electricity went off, but a few minutes after I laid down I heard the t v in the living room. What a wonderful surprise. Today is nice and windless, but the grounds all look trashy. I'm in no mood for going out and cleaning the yard. I'm using my eye as an excuse. Instead I'm cooking up a different kind of storm. Bar-b-que ribs, and potato salad, peach cobbler, and a few extra things, are all easier to clean up after than tree limbs. My cooking storms are also appreciated more than the wind storms. I have some more changes coming my way that upsets me also, but If I am to keep living, I am to keep changing. Why in the world can't people leave things alone that have been good for us forever? I feel like I am attending classes every day trying to learn all the changes. I am strong, and stubborn, so I can take a lot of nonsense, even if I don't like it. After I get mad enough to choke somebody. I can usually figure out what they mean, not what they are saying, but what they mean. The language is different today than when I was going to school. A simple word can be made to become a new word in the dictionary. Usually you can find the old word still in the thesaurus. Why can't instructors just be simple anymore, and say it where you can understand it? So much for that.

God Bless

"The Beginning Of Prunes"

                    A hand full of soon to be prunes. Let it be Lord. 6-8-2020 Perryton, TX

I wish I knew how to make prunes. I'm having so many big nice plums to be going to waste, because I don't know how to preserve them. They are sweet, and delicious when they get ripe, but with several trees loaded I can't eat them all. I'm thinking of seeing if google can help me to dry some for prunes. I do like a lot of things made with prunes. I have one prune cake recipe that is out of this world. I even like cooked prunes with thick whipping cream poured over them. Growing up as a child our parents taught us how to like a lot of good nourishing foods that most kids wouldn't touch today. I still eat that same nutritious food. I had my blood work done this morning for my doctor's appointment the 24 of June, and everything tested good. This was an order made by my heart doctor. I got a good report last year, and I'm hoping for a good one this year. I just go annually.

I was totally confused this morning when I walked into the hospital to have my lab work done. I had to wear a mask, have my temperature taken, and answer a lot of questions, then have my picture taken before I could continue with the paper work for the lab. Then I had to be escorted to the lab which I had walked to many times in the past. After the process was over I had to be escorted back to the front door I came in from. This hospital is not a large one by any means. I could almost walk all over it blindfolded. I said if our diet doesn't cause our death, this new way of treating patients like little children will. I think it all started with the idea of brain washing normal people. In other words our country is under communist attack. Nothing but the power of God can help us. I'm perfectly satisfied with God saying in His Word, He would never leave us nor forsake us. We will make it through if we don't forsake God.

I am here to say I believe we will continue to be tested, and tried for a very long time. We all need to find the most dedicated church family group possible, for it is there where the power of God will prevail. The weak, and indifferent type will not be able to stand when the going gets tough. When one walks inside a church, and they don't immediately feel that overwhelming presence of God's power, then they need to walk back out. “It's not by sight, nor by sound, but by My Spirit,” sayeth the Lord. I have found a church that has a beautiful sight, and a great sound, not only music, but a sound of voices praising God, and the Power of God all in one. A very long time prayer of mine has been answered. “Thank You Lord.”

God Bless

"The Precious Word Of God"

The book that never lost it's popularity, The book that lives without food. 6-7-2020 Perryton, TX

 

I enjoyed a good church service this morning. It's beginning to feel like old times again. I was in a group of people who boldly raise their hands in praise to God, in spite of all the threatening destruction of God's mighty power. I did not see one person there who looked the least bit worried about what is about to happen to our country, and to the church. I am so thankful that God has moved me to another Christian group of people who firmly stand on the bible, without waver or fear. This church is the same church believe that I was raised in. I have belonged to another church for several years, which I highly respect, but it lacks the demonstration of the Holy Spirit. The people there believe in the Holy Spirit, but no one allows it to be free to bless the way the Holy Spirit choses to bless. What will happen to them when their ship begins to sink during these stormy waters? The way I was welcomed this morning makes me know I am in the right place at the right time. I feel so encouraged, and certainly do not feel alone. I see great, and mighty things ahead for this small group of people who are all in one accord at this time.

Yes, this day has been a good day for me, and I believe many more good days are in my future. I heard the Pastor say this morning that he believed what he preaches, and he will stick to it. I say amen to that, and whatever happens to lessen our faith, never, never let it befall you. If God takes me to heaven tomorrow, or sooner, He will be taking one happy soul. I trust Him all the way, and welcome His timing for me to leave this world behind. I will be counting the days until next Sunday so I can be back in the place I fell in love with last Sunday. Yes, this is my second Sunday to worship at this church, and it gets better each time. I plan to cooperate, and not operate the duties of the church. Isn't that a sweet spirit to have dwelling within you? Of course I admire those who labor, and toil to make the church a wonderful place to come for persons like myself. They have my blessings, and anything else I may be able to add. I am not blind to their hard work, and much prayer to accomplish what God expects of them. Those who live on easy street while serving the Lord, like myself, are to be questioned sometimes as to the purpose we are here for. I am thankful for every blessing God gives me, but I do want to be worthy, although I know that is impossible. By faith I will follow God, and hope to do His will.

God Bless
