On March 17, 2023 (a very, very cold Saint Patrick’s Day) as I was coming in from the frigid weather with my dog, I looked down on the driveway and saw what looked exactly looked like a guitar! Fun! It consisted of a tire track and an outline of snow! Smell the roses: PSALM 19 A psalm of David The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour…..
ARE YOU? DOES THIS SOUND STRANGE TO YOU? Perhaps you need to take a moment to think about sorrow… God does grieve. Did you know that? It’s good to know that first of all. Next, always remember that God, Himself gave us our emotions in order to fight the good fight… Selah. We children of God (Christians and Torah Jewish people only) are to fight the good fight. This would never include claiming hopelessness curses of sickness and…..
TINA’S TALES: TINA’S TALES are short stories specifically about our Terrier rescue mix, Tina Ann Turner. In addition, I will be posting stories about other dogs. Friends, people with a great ability to love always are enamored by beauty! And dogs are beautiful! They always have a purpose which God has given them: some hunt, some protect, some only and always provide unfaltering companionship! God created them for His pleasure and shares them with us! And some are too…..
Duane: “What’s the temp at?” Ann: “75 – and I’m not changing it.” Duane: “Then I will.” Ann: “Then I’ll change it back.” Ah! It’s good to be a strong, American woman! Selah! P.S. (past sin!) It’s twenty-five degrees! At nineteen this morning (March 28th, 2023) it felt like seven – seven below!!
Right now Duane is making stew… I decided to ask him if he’d like company. He does not, he’s concentrating. The JOY JOT? I haven’t cooked a meal for years! THANK YOU JESUS!!!
PLEASE STAY WITH ME IN THIS CRUCIAL TEACHING: it is a Joy Story! SUICIDE IS A VERY HORRIFIC THING… it is never the answer. Years ago I have had the privilege of counseling two men separately on this always relevant subject. Thank God both of these men, both past their thirty’s, listened to my wise counsel. All glory to God! I am thankful they listened to me because I love the Lord and listen to Him,…..
I don’t agree with you. Therefore, you may not like me… I still choose God! Exodus 20:3 “You shall have no other gods before me. 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…..
THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE TRUE STORIES: it’s about a squirrel, my Herbie! True, I don’t know which squirrel I’m talking about here: Herbie One, Herbie Two, Herbie Three… Selah. But here it is. Almost a year ago I had my very first breakfast meal at lunchtime at a family restaurant. Duane, our daughter-in-law, two out of three of her daughters, and I were gathered together for food and fun. I have no idea what came over…..
YOU ARE NOT ALONE! Selah. I am a Christian who is also a member of Christians United for Israel, CUFI. Israel and the Church are allies. PLEASE NOTE: I said the Church. The Church is Jesus Christ as the head and the universal body of believers: not those who say they are Christians and do nothing, not standing on the Bible as God’s inerrant, infallible, and timeless Word. The Church knows God’s covenant with themselves and with…..
Sin… or not sin? Ask God! Hebrews 4:12-13 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
