HERE IS A FUNNY SUMMER STORY
(We Minnesotans appreciate these in this March of 2019 as we just finished one of the snowiest February’s of all time)
HERE’S THE LESSON:
Let your husband know how much you missed him when he’s at work, fishing, hunting and such!
One sunny morning Duane was gone. Our dryer was on the fritz so I hung clothes out for a few days. On one of the last (thankfully!) I did not realize that a bug, a black bug, a HUGE BUG, came in with me! The poor little guy got into my bathroom as I was separating the laundry. I’m telling you: he was BiG! and he FLEW! That made him much more scary to me!! I had to get into my bathroom. I think, I can’t remember for certain, I had not finished my hair. So, I made the decision, no man home to catch this BIG, BIG, FLYING BUG and put him happily outside. I had to do it. I killed him, even then I was repulsed to go near him! Yes, brethren, I took furniture polish, window cleaner, whatever I could get to spray directly on him until he was dead, dead, dead. It had to be aimed just right. I polished him off! Pun intended!
The good news is: I didn’t like killing an innocent bug… but folks, my man was not home!
Sorry, my Father, I did not love that bug!
1 John 4:18
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
Growing up in a home without the love for God, an invalid father, heavy financial hardships, and tremendous (sometimes dangerous) discord is always difficult. Add on to that extreme shyness, a feeling of inferiority, and some may think this girl was rejected. But God’s hand was on her and His heart was for her. Today, Ann Marie Turner has performed many great services in Jesus’ name for the love of God and man; and for herself! She has ministered in the male correctional for over ten years. Along with this website, Ann is the author of Joy Stories, Volume One and The Free Incarcerated Man. Writing about the joy of the Lord and the victory that is available for a willing soul is one of Ann’s now greatest joys! Ann’s prayer for you is to overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of your testimony. Celebrate the God of the Bible and your personal victories in Christ unceasingly! Revelation 12:11 They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.
