"Christmas Day And The Day After"

    The leaning candle is trying to tell us something needs attention. 12-26-2016 Perryton, Texas.

The day after Christmas I am still bubbling over with joy and happiness. Wait till I tell you about the Christmas day explosion and you will wonder why. I am wondering myself.

I had invited a friend over for Christmas dinner. She had just been home a few days from the hospital after having a heart attack. She had not been doing well after getting home, and she has no relatives within hundreds of miles from her. My son and I was going to be eating alone so I asked this friend to have dinner with us. I sparred no sweat in fixing the same Christmas dinner I had been cooking for many years. I made sure I fixed enough for this friend to take food home with her so she would not have to be cooking for awhile. I tried to make the house as tidy and clean as possible. I even cleaned the cook top after fixing the meal. It was in dire need of cleaning so I sparred no mercy. I mopped my kitchen floor clean enough to eat off of. I set the decorated table and lighted the candles. Everything was ready when the friend arrived.

I had left some of the food in the warm oven so it would be hot when served. I hate cold food that’s suppose to be served hot. Before I took it from the oven I turned on the electric cook top burners just long enough to get medium hot then turned them off before I took the food containers from the oven and placed them on the warm burners. I had taken special time and effort to make the best cornbread dressing ever. I had made enough for a thrashing crew because we love dressing. It could not have been more perfect. We decided to fill our plates from the cook top and bar. About the time we were ready for dessert a terrible explosion nearly busted our eardrums. The burner which the large, Pyrex dish with the dressing had been placed on had gotten too hot and exploded. The stove had malfunctioned and didn’t go off when I turned it off. I made sure the “off’ button was in proper place, and the red light was off, but it was not off. It had heated for about forty or fifty minutes before it got hot enough to explode. I had never seen so much broken glass scattered around a kitchen as this was. My friend and I cleaned glass and raked food in the garbage can till we were blue in the face. The burners on the stove were filled with dressing as well as glass. Luckily enough the pumpkin pie and chocolate cake had plastic wrap around them and didn’t have to be thrown away, but most of the other stuff was full of crushed glass.

We finished our dessert, but just before the friend had taken the last few bites she got up from the table and went to the living room. My back was to her and I didn’t see her sit down in a recliner. I thought she had gone to the bathroom. When I finally looked around she had taken her blood pressure device from her purse and was taking her pressure. I immediately went to her and asked what was wrong. She said she didn’t feel good. We were unable to get a true test on the device she was using so I got mine out, but still couldn’t get a result. I was concerned enough to talk her into going to the ER. She kept hesitating, but I kept insisting. Finally we went to the Hospital ER on Christmas day. After an hour or so, and after an EKG, and some blood work, the Dr. released her to come home. He thought she was over medicated, and told her to cut back half on her meds. We came back to my house. I fixed enough food that had been spared from glass, to last her a day or two. Then we sit and visited for most of the rest of the day. When she left to go home I felt completely relieved and knew all our worries were in vein. After all the commotion I woke up this morning feeling better than I have felt in some time. I too, had been visited by an angel who soothed my doubts and fears, and left me with peace and joy to the fullest. I had received the best Christmas gift ever. A new out-look on life, a new understanding of something other than a mere existence, and a dare-not- risk my intuition when I feel strongly about something. God will not let us make wrong choices if we ask Him for guidance. I am looking forward to a great and blessed New Year.

God Bless

"Winter Christmas Blessings"

                Our first snow for the winter. Very cold outside. 12-17-2016 Perryton, Texas.


The weather caused me to have to cancel my plans for this evening. I was invited to dinner with some ladies who were going to be driving seventeen miles to the restaurant of their choice. Due to the snow and cold freezing wind the event had to be canceled. This is the thing I have been dreading for awhile now. It will be hard to plan any trips because the weather is so unpredictable here in Perryton, Texas. However, I would rather be safe than sorry. I choose to stay home when its so cold and freezing rain. I have my television and telephone to occupy me. I’m so thankful for all the modern blessings I am privileged to enjoy. I have talked on the phone today with some friends and family members. It lifted my spirits, and gave me patience to wait for better weather to happen. When I hear that all is well and doing fine I am satisfied to lean back in my recliner and watch the news. I spend a lot of time day dreaming while relaxing in my recliner. I think I solve a lot of problems, but I still have to get out to finish the job. After all I am thrilled to be well, and of a sound mind. Christmas time is a season to be jolly regardless of the weather. I am fitting into that clause. This Saturday evening marks one week before Christmas eve. I remember as a child how hard it was to wait for that one week to pass. I haven’t grown out of that anxiety feeling much after all these years.

At this time of the year with snow on the ground, and cold north wind blowing, who could keep from thinking about our Savior, Jesus Christ, being born in a manger of the cattle barn? This is a true story that will never be understood by any earthly being. I hope not one soul this Christmas will fail to feel the pain and suffering Mary bore that night long ago when she gave birth to our Savior, and even worse pain she suffered when she watched that same son being nailed to a cruel cross for our sins. Can we ever feel worthy to claim the best of the best in everything we want? We look for perfection in all things, often refusing to settle for anything less.
God forgive us and help us to be thankful for what we have. Especially let us give thanks for the blood of Jesus Christ that cleansed us from all sin. Let us remember also that Christmas is about Jesus, and not about ourselves. My sincere blessings, and best wishes, go out to every living soul still on this earth. May the Light of the World shine on you.

"One Christ And One American Flag"

Christmas trees are the backdrop behind Donald Trump instead of flags. He is proving his point. Christmas will remain Christmas in America. 12-16-2016 Perryton, Texas


What a switch from American flags to Christmas trees for the backdrop to President-elect, Donald Trump. Both high American priorities, our flag and Christmas,  were being threatened to be removed from our Great, freedom loving country. We have been seeing the American flag desecrated for several years. A few years ago the Supreme Court ruled that it was ok for people to burn, stomp, tear into shreds or destroy the great symbol of America, the flag. After that there was a ruling made that the Ten Commandments be taken down from all public places such as courthouses, schools and others. Also no more prayers could be made in school or no pledge to the flag. It went from that extreme to even more and worse extremes. Several years ago the court ruled that it was ok to murder unborn babies with tax payers money. Then they made a law, illegally, to allow same sex marriages. Now it is highly legal for sex gender surgeries even for minor children if at least one parent requests it, whether birth parent or adoptive.  In my opinion that is the worse cruelty any parent could cause to their children. I’ve seen children crying because they were being forced to have a sex gender surgery by at least one parent. The latest evil law that people are having to deal with is restrooms for both straight, and sex gender  people.

Yes, I was extremely thankful to see President elect, Donald Trump, standing in front of a line of Christmas trees giving a speech today instead of standing in front of flags. It is still accepted for highly elected government people to stand in front of the American flags, but for Mr. Trump to bravely switch to the Christmas tree tradition was a big surprise to me. He has told us that no more Happy Holidays would be required in public places anymore. He said keep saying, “Merry Christmas.” This man means what he says, and he says what he means. The fight for the right to keep President elect, Trump, as our next president  is getting more fierce every day. How far will we have to go, and how much more bloodshed will we have to see, before the war of good and evil can be totally won? I know that our new president will come through this dilemma victoriously, but like I asked, when will it ever stop? Few people ever realized just how far into hell our country had advanced. Many good people still don’t realize it, and probably never will. They have, because of their own will, been turned over to a reprobate mind. The definition of reprobate is, “A person rejected by God and beyond all hope of salvation.” We have won one battle, but the fight continues. We must never give up praying for our country, and praying for other countries who are in even more distress than America.

God Bless
