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 as symbols…..
In my lifetime I see disclaimers on television; statements making claims wherein people do not want to be associated with the topic in discussion. Not all that long ago some disclaimers would say they do not necessarily agree. Now some say they do not agree with the given topic in their disclaimer statement. I, therefore, am compelled to write MY CLAIM. I am a Christian. My stories are designed to honor God – Elohiym, The LORD God Almighty. I worship…..
NOW I DON’T WANT YOU TO THINK… it’s all about me and mine! I just got another fabulous JOY JOT for you! My purpose in sharing is about helping you, encouraging you, giving you great insights! Here’s one: Going to take a break! Going to take a break! I have overcome! And I’m going to take a break! BELOVED: this is in reference to my reorganizing (again!) my upper room’s walk in closet. It’s halfway done —…..
IT’S NEW YEAR’S EVE and a lot of people are thinking about new beginnings. Perhaps starting totally over; new marriage, a more promising job, a better neighborhood. The first month of the year is a typical time for many to think of healthy and happy life improvements… Goals not met, expectations not nearly fulfilled, hopes dashed are typical reasons some people want to start over. Because of this, New Year’s Eve gets some stirred up that here is another year,…..
Tina (our Terrier pup) gets massages when she and Duane are in bed longer than me. As I come into the bedroom to greet them both, we talk a few minutes together as we start caressing her… She absolutely loves it! Today as I was giving her a back rub and Duane was rubbing her tummy, I sang to her: “Rub-a-dub-dub! You won’t get in the tub!!” Her bath day this week is in two days! (Don’t tell her.)…..
RIGHT NOW (6:49 AM, December 28th, 2022) I am writing an article about New Year’s Eve and expectations… The LORD God had given me this several days ago: “Merry Christmas! He has risen! Don’t forget the rest of the story!” I had prayed in the Holy Spirit (as usual) and was joyfully astonished at this word the Holy Spirit had given me. I strive to never forget it! God is given me constant ideas on how to reach people, build…..
MEN: Start carrying a handkerchief and expect to cry from a touch of God! John 11:35 Jesus wept.
WHEN I WAS A CHILD I always knew Christmas was not too far away because Mister Magoo’s Christmas Carol was on… In fact, Duane and I were talking about this just the other day. We were born in 1956. How many of you out there were like us? Wasn’t it fun?! And as a child, the days after this great program seemed like a lot more than just ten to wait! It was so hard to wait for Christmas!…..
MY GIFT OF LOVE TO MOTHERS WHO HAVE CHILDREN IN HEAVEN… Specifically, mothers who may not know those babies love them, are waiting for them… To those women who fell for the lies of their most evil enemy, Satan, (whether they know him or not) and the lies of people outside of God’s covenant; and even they, themselves, who have lived by choice without the God who sees this love note is from me! My God loves you and is…..
THIS IS WHY… As a Christian, uncompromising, Jesus is my everything and if I had to live on Earth alone until Heaven, I wouldn’t. I wouldn’t be alone. The Lord of all never leaves me, never forsakes me – but He allows me to walk away and become an apostate if I so choose. I will not. I am making a statement today and always on this journey: Jesus paid it all! Selah. Christmas is the celebration of His birth…..
