“Fear Is The Beginning Of Knowledge” This New Year's Eve of 2022 I am being flooded with memories that makes me cry like a lost child. My precious son, Rick, is so close to me today till I almost can't stand it. We buried him a few month's ago, and I just want to go to the graveyard and spend some time with him. I am having a terrible struggle with trying to fight the evil demon that is trying so hard to take over my joy. The odds are against me because of the global COVID disease that is keeping me mostly at home. If Rick were with me I wouldn't want to go anywhere. But being at home alone day after day can become very dreadful, In the past I have always been with friends on New Year's Eve to watch the old year out, and welcome the new one in. Times are changing fast now, and one has to fight like crazy to keep the enemy from knocking you out. He wants us to think it is God speaking to us with all this scary stuff when it's really him speaking. My mother used to always assure me of that, but she is no longer here on this earth so now I just have to remember her comforting words. No one needs to tell me it is just I having trouble keeping my sanity at this time. All you have to do is watch the news, and you can see it is one of the worst times in centuries that people are dying with the deadly disease or dying from the fear of getting it. I personally have known several in my own circle of friends and family. Even little children are taking their own life for lack of ability to deal with the change they are being put through. Worst of all is the fear of things worsening. Anyone in their right mind can see the demon power that has managed to take control of everything good God had provided for his people. That is enough for anyone to become down in their spiritual life. When is God going to say enough is enough? He does have that power, but for some reason He is holding back. After saying all of this I will be waiting for the New Year to begin with more anger than ever before to fight this ungodly demon that is killing people by the millions. I'm asking everyone to take up their spiritual weapons, and put the devil's army on the run. It can happen if people will quit giving ear to the wrong power. It will take great courage, but please do not give up. Victory is just a short way ahead. God Bless Myrtle Jean Sharp

“Positive Thinking” Patience is the magic word today. When I asked God for something to brighten my day, the word patience immediately came to my mind. In all reality patience was what I thought I already had enough of, and I just needed something to go with it. My own way of defining patience is not giving up. Since reading my bible is a daily habit, and watching the evil escalate daily, how can one keep having patience? I see some of my own, dear family being totally blinded to the ungodly corruption they are engaged in. Every bone in my body aches while I see this happening. Yet my Lord said patience. I believe with the deepest sincerity that God is a Just God, so I can be thankful for that, but it still hurts to see so many who have, seemingly passed over the road of no return. I cannot agree with those liberal preachers who convince people they can do anything they want to do and God will still be forgiving. Of course God is a forgiving God, but He plainly says what so ever a man soweth that shall he also reap. Their past will follow them to the grave, and what happens there after is unknown to me, I do believe. I truly believe no one knows the answer to that. According to the bible there will be A Great Judgment Day. No one will ever be able to convince me that God never gets angry. The Old Testament is all about God's anger with His chosen people. The New Testament is when God had mercy enough to send His Son to die for their sins, but even then they would not accept Jesus. We who have been accepted by God are now part of His chosen people. We believe in His Son, Jesus, with all of our heart. But that is not to say God don't get angry when we ignore His teachings, and do as we please. His Ten Commandants are still to be practiced in our lives daily. They are part of the New Testament. Woe be to these liberal preachers who are deceiving the people, and allowing them to live a very sinful life without warning them of the consequences. So my patience must stay strong, and I must not ever doubt God. There is a reason, and a season, for all things. Let us look up for our redemption draweth nigh. God will wipe away all tears from our eyes. By faith I believe I will see Jesus face to face. Not because someone told me that, but because Jesus Himself let me see the nail prints in His Hand many years ago, and He has never dimmed that picture. I see it every day of my life.

Only Trust Him” Now that Christmas 2021 is over, I'm back to wondering what is going to happen tomorrow. At the start of 2021 many of us had doubts that Christmas 2021 would happen, but I am here to say I had the best Christmas spirit than I had had in many years. Although I saw a great let up in outside decorations when we drove around looking at yard decorations. We saw some beautiful scenes of lighted Christmas bulbs, but just a few compared to the usual. No doubt the evil, Jesus haters, will be back again to completely destroy our Savior's birthday. Nothing on earth can be more important than remembering Jesus Birthday. The day may come when we are forced to deny our Savior's birth or die. We should all be preparing for such a fateful thing as that. It will be in a time such as that that many will suddenly forget some of their stubborn, ridiculous, hate they have held in their heart for so long. That feeling of, better than thou, will disappear, but will it be too late? Does anyone really think that Jesus will listen to their side of the story? After all He is the Great Judge. And in case you don't know Jesus already knows both sides of the story. Man was made to disagree, but disagreeing is not cutting away from the ones whom Jesus has forgiven. Ask thyself, is it all about me, or Jesus? Surly people know that a plague of disease has been sent to us by God. Therefore only God can lift it. How far are we willing to go before we stop thinking we are smarter than God? He is saying, turn from your wicked ways, and I will heal your land. Our God is a patient God, but He says, “My spirit does not always deal with man.” How much longer do we have? The Spirit of God is calling people back to the Temple to worship Him. As for me I would rather die inside the Temple than outside. It has been a battle to say the least, but I believe we need to stay faithful to God's Temple, and respect Him for restoring it when the enemy tore it down in Israel. God Bless Myrtle Jean

I am so proud of my new 11 model computer my son and daughter-in-law got me for Christmas, Everything plugs in behind the monitor. Of course I am having to learn everything new again, but in time I will get there. That is if my nerves hold out. So far the changing times hasn't lost me yet. Things are suppose to be getting easier and more simple, but one still has to start all over again to get to these simpler things. My best technicians, my son and daughter-in-law, live in Sherman, Texas so I can't depend on them very often. I am sure when the next version of computer technology comes out I will not even try to endure the improved, easier, advanced enlightenment. But I was not ready to give up when my 10 version quite me. Ay 89 I still have a lot yet to be said. I am proudly, but not boastfully saying I have almost reached the 100,000,00 mark of clicks on my blog since I have been writing them. How could I be doing anything else that would please my Lord more than that? I am reminded over, and over of the quote, “only one life life twill soon be past, only what's done for Christ will last.” Some of us need to get it in high gear. I had one of the best Christmas's I have ever had. My son, and daughter-in-law were so much help to me. They both worked to fix everything that had broken down, and cleaned, and trimmed rose bushes in my yard. Grilled two nights with a rack of ribs, and some pork short ribs. Delicious food, and wonderful memory conversations. They spent three nights with me, and I am missing them so much. But they both have jobs at home that people are depending on them for to make great things happen. I am thankful for them to serve God in their own way. I feel so positive about a New Year. I believe God is using His people to do the prophetic work that He needs to encourage His faithful ones while He punishes the unfaithful ones. Yes I do believe we have a plague of disease sent by God to punish the evil who have mocked, and cursed The Almighty God. I believe we are in the beginning time of tribulation the bible speaks of. When it gets to the worse time of tribulation I believe that is when God will send his Son, Jesus, back to take His faithful ones to Heaven. He will appear in a cloud, and many will be left behind. Is it too late for some of us? I hope not. Give it some thought, I pray. God Bless Myrtle Jean Sharp

"Wealth Cannot Buy Happiness"

“Wealth Cannot Buy Happiness” How blessed this day has been for me. I am beginning to feel normal again. After the loss of my middle beloved son; Then one week after we buried him, a special nephew died suddenly with a heart attack. He was 55 and had no previous heart problems what so ever. My world turned to darkness quickly. I seemed to not want to do anything but cry. Nothing interested me any more. I have lost several loving family members in the past, which I still grieve from time to time, but this time they all piled in on me at the same time. I thought my own life was about to end. Then like a light switch had been turned on I began to laugh again. Just what is life that we laugh one day, and cry the next? Only God can answer that. Today I ate lunch with friends at the Center, and we all laughed at my crazy plans to celebrate Halloween next Friday, October 29th. It doesn't seem as though everyone can get back to the fun times we had before covid 19. That virus also has played a big part in our present, and future fun times. No one could never have worked harder than our Director, and staff to keep the loving spirit, and a brighter future for the 200 plus members who make up this awesome place. We are all trying to keep the attendance up, and the bills paid, but it is far from being back to normal. The several members we have lost due to the virus, and other causes has really hit us hard. But as I am bouncing back I know everyone else will also. I could stop sounding positive right now, and start writing some of the very bad things I believe we will still have to deal with as a country gone bye-bye. But I will not continue to look on the dark side, and do all I can physically, and spiritually to bring back the shouts of freedom. As a child my parents never let us kids know when they were worried. I thought my dad had the world under his control. He always had a good reason for us not having all of the nice things some of the others had. He told us we had a choice between riches on earth or riches in Heaven. Of course we chose riches in Heaven. And we lived a happy life like we were already rich. I still believe my treasures are laid up in heaven. Let us eat, drink, laugh, and have fun till we are called away to our eternal riches. God Bless Myrtle Jean Sharp

"Serious Church Believers"

“Serious Church Believers” Happy invitation to everyone to a special Senior Citizens Zombie lunch this Friday, October 29. at the Senior Citizen's Center, Perryton. Texas. I came home this morning from church and was reading my local paper when I saw this menu for next Friday. Our Senior Director, Darla Allred, has already invited you, but I wanted to invite you also. I almost didn't eat lunch today before I read the paper, but I was hungry so I read it before I ate. I was glad I did after I saw this menu for next Friday at the Center. ROASTED OMBIE EYEBALLS, TOXIC WASTE SPIDER DEVILED .EGGS, VOMIT DIP, AND CHIPS, CAT LITTER BOX CAKE, WITCHES BREW. SALAD ON THE SIDE .Come dressed as you please, either normal or spooky. I'm not telling what I will look like. A good service at church “maketh a cherry heart.” I left church happy this morning, and I am still enjoying the blessing I received there. In this troubled time we need to cling to every laugh possible. Our Senior Director does a good job of keeping the Seniors laughing. And our Pastors, Cody, and Clydene Pittman, does a good job keeping our faith positive. We shall reap a good harvest if we faint not. What exaltly are we planting? Fear, and doubt, or joy, and peace? Warning signs are important, but if we take them seriously we will not be wrecked. Look for warning signs in your bible, not on the evil power seekers. How many times have we told ourselves, church is not the same anymore,. It doesn't do any good for me to go. I think I will stop going and just stay home. If we would all be honest we would say that's just what Satan wants us to say. He has always wanted to shut God's Temple of Worship down. He got kicked out, and he has been mad at God every since. My bible tells me God will never allow Satan to be in control of His Great World. This should make us all shout out the victory. Let us all fight to keep our churches open. We are no more safe at home than in our church. In fact I would be more fearful out of church, because God said our bodies are the temple of the Lord..These bodies make up the original Temple in Jerusalem. These bodies are a part of that original church. Although we may not be Jewess born, we were grafted into the Jewess tribes of Jacob. That makes us a Jew by adoption. I believe this is a true picture of who we are today instead of Gentiles. I am only giving my version of who we are, but I feel like this is what God showed me. I would like to hear other views because we all are taught differently. God Bless Myrtle Jean Sharp

"The Book of Patience"

“The Book Of Patience” Every day it seems as though nothing will ever be done to hold the horrific, evil, persons accountable for their continuing acts of disastrous sin against the Godly, who are dying by the thousands for God's sake. America is my main concern about this fateful time we are now living in. In the book of Job the 17th chapter, an example of Satan's determination to destroy one of God's most Holy Servant's will bear this out. God allowed Satan to do whatever he wanted to do against Job except kill him, in order to prove to God that Job would give up his fight against evil. Several times during Job's tribulation period it seemed as though Satan would win even to the point of Job accepting death, and a dark thereafter. Bilbad, one of Jobs friend's, pleads with Job in the 18th chapter to quit sounding like he was surrendering, and listen to him. With the help of three of Job's friends Job held out till the end, but he suffered beyond anything a normal person could possible endure. I recommend that you read this story from the “Good News Bible.” Today's English Version. But in order for you to understand the message of this extremely important story you will need to read the entire book of Job. The book of patience as many call it. Many of us may be thinking we are doomed, and have completely lost our Great Christian Country, but I haven't given up yet. I may , like Job, sound like I have, but I have read the bible too much to believe God has given up on us. The evil will be punished in God's time. The Godly will be rewarded for their faithfulness if not in this life, in the life to come. We must bear our cross however heavy it might become. Since we are human flesh, like Jesus, we will be flesh when our grave time comes. However I have faith to believe God will hurt just as much as we who are dying from the flesh, but living in the Spirit still. I will never say I can be as strong as Job, or Jesus Christ, but I do have faith to believe what God promised me in the beginning with my walk with him. He will never leave me not forsake me. The wisest Man on earth, King Solomon, said for us to live, and enjoy ourselves because there will be nothing left of us once we return to dust. He was speaking of a life fashioned like Jesus would be teaching us when He came to earth. If we live to keep the 10 commandants I believe we will be admitted into the Kingdom of God.
