TO MY BELOVED ISRAEL I pray this daily with you, my brethren: Deuteronomy 6:4-9 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them…..
THANKSGIVING HAS ALWAYS BEEN ONE OF MY FAVORITE HOLIDAYS! One of my most famous testimonies is: “I have always loved Thanksgiving: even when I was a sinner!” Why do I celebrate this statement of mine? Because, beloved, I did not die in my sins!!! God was exceedingly and abundantly patient with me (Lord: help me also to be the same for those who are now sinners.) My God is my God and He was my God when I was NOT…..
What if she doesn’t want to die before her time? What is she wants to get out (of her mother’s womb) and see the world? What if she wants to grow, be nourished, and fulfill the plans God has for her? SOB! SAVE OUR BABIES! Psalm 139:13-16 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful,…..
COUNSELING IS JUST ONE OF GOD’S POWERFUL TOOLS to enable us to live our lives fully and victoriously! Selah. WARNING: but all counseling must be in agreement with God and His Word. If not, it is lies… Selah. Very recently I was thinking back on a man I used to admire, a man I genuinely liked, and enjoyed being around. This was before I was married or even had met my husband, Duane. I was twenty-two. I was on…..
My husband really blesses me! And last night was just one of those times… You see, he has two boats that he leaned against the neighbor’s fence. I didn’t like; I saw it as disrespectful. He didn’t or he wouldn’t have done it. Nevertheless, besides believing it was disrespectful, I always was concerned it might weaken the integrity of the fence. Duane was certain it would not. I wasn’t going to get into a debate about with Duane. Wisdom calls…..
I just finished bathing our Terrier mix, Tina Ann Turner! While bathing her I told her: “If it wasn’t for Adam you wouldn’t need a bath!” She’s thrilled! Thrilled it’s over!! As I was towel drying her it was time to use the blow dryer (it is 38 degrees this day – November 12th.) She begged to differ, taking off from me and flying around the room… She said she was air drying herself! Animals have souls……
It is right now Minnesota 42 degrees, rainy, and somewhat dark outside at this 10:00 AM… Leaves in different hues are all over the street, the yards – beautiful! I love Minnesota Fall! Duane just came back from a short walk with Tina (our Terrier mix.) He had on a warm duck hunting coat and Tina had her beautiful teal, sparkly sweater… He’s done working for now and he’s in the shower, headed for bed… And in our love for…..
Recently I watched a man coming in to steal and willing to murder. Selah. Another man was already there. I saw him turn, standing still and calm and looking at this evil person. In a life-saving decision, the gentleman (who turned out to be a Marine) grabbed the criminals arm, pointing it upwards so that no one would be shot. With his other hand he punched the man severely in the head, making certain to disable him. It was…..
