😂 A merry heart doeth good like a medicine:but a broken spirit drieth the bones. Proverbs 17:22 Doctor Tim thanks for reminding me of this and giving me a dose of your medicine. I saw a cartoon recently on the editorial page of our newspaper. Nancy P driving a mini bus that had kids with adult faces carrying on like kids, fighting, throwing paper airplanes. As she’s driving she glances back at them and says “Don’t make me have to stop this bus!” Of course her look was so ugly and it made my day. Lol
I have always been fascinated with Science and Biology in school. My son is in the medical profession and never once did he believe in evolution and always believed in God as creator. I wondered how could a doctor or scientist ever not believe in God. The dna is so different in each person that in a matter of law can determine a man’s guilt or innocence. I watch birds and feed them. I have noticed each bred of birds follow the same pattern of building a nest. If I see a lot of old dead grass in my blue bird box I know a sparrow is building it. If it has brown pine straw it’s a blue bird, if a piece of dead snake skin is placed on top of a finished nest a fly catcher is the builder and a chickadee always adds moss to theirs. Love the songs, It is My Father’s World and His Eye is on the Sparrow and I know He watches over me.
And they don’t have abortions. They help one another and the kindest people I have ever known. I lived in a farming town and before we left they began to buy land down in the Bottoms and farm it. An Amish preacher that moved in from somewhere else early enough to plant crops. They bought our house we had just put up for sale by word of mouth, we had not even put it up for sale sign God does take care of His own. Later they tmoved to the Bottoms where the Church and the school their children attended all attended. Just my thoughts on what I observed personally and not somebody’s link that I don’t even know saying something good or bad.
Christopher what you commented about this man bringing this out in public was shameful and he will pay the consequences for that action if he was a true Christian. Just as David suffered because of his sins committed by taking another man’s wife and sending him to his death to cover up his sin. God saw and gave instructions to his prophet Nathan to take His message to David and the news was not good. The baby conceived in was to die and the sword would never leave his house.2 Samuel 7:2-29 David was a broken man and repented from what he had done to God. It is you and you only I have sinned against. That is so true for anyone who turns their back on God no matter what the reason is. I did email Frank.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and concerns for me and hopefully prayers as well. We never stop learning and growing and I have done my most growing and seeing God’s love for me the most during some of the most painful experiences in my life. The Holy Spirit is my teacher and counselor and very present help in time of trouble. I will try through the link,.
My last comment was for you John Uk as you help me in Christ’s love even when you scold me at times or disagree on certain issues, the love is still there. I reach out because my family is busy with their lives and friends I know from another place and time still message me and can still minister when needed.For some reason I feel the need to give out what’s been given to me. Carry on until God calls us home.
Thank you so very much for that wonderfully encouraging comment since these years on here you were like a mentor to me. Believe me it has been a challenge and still being on here is because of God giving me encouragement through friends like you and others so I will continue on And feel free to correct things I say just as Carol did and I will take it as coming from the heart to help not hurt. @Frank, I will have to get on my computer as that’s probably where the emails are sometimes today. I am on my IPhone usually. I don’t have a lot of people in my life to share with and felt God’s leading me here since I don’t intend to write a book like my niece thinks I should. Thanks for your concerns and I am very much happy with my life as it is but we’ll see how the email works out.
Tim, you gave me a laugh this morning to carry me through the day with chuckles off and on. So thankful for your love and encouragement which I need so much now especially.Tell you what to show my appreciation, I’ll root for Georgia to win the Championship, now that’s a true friend 😂
Blessings to you Carol and I do appreciate your kind words and I do agree totally. It makes me even more open for being attacked. Pouring my heart out is not a good thing on here for sure.
Frank , nothing you say to me will change the fact that I had a wonderful experience with God at home, not at Church. God moved me out later because of other reasons and there were people there that were deep Christians. That’s the reason I said, I am a Christian serving God in a Baptist Church. I don’t share my experience with just anyone only those God sends .I don’t know why I shared it on here or even why I’m still on here after all. In the Methodist Church there were friends I left that still get in touch with me and they love the Lord just like me. Anyway, I give what I feel God wants me to give and I can’t have friends here because if I say something offensive to their beliefs, then I can’t give what God lays on my heart to say. I hope someday to meet you in heaven when we all have been perfected.
Cont They gathered around me to pray for me to receive the Holy Ghost which I never knew or heard about but for some reason it became clear to me how important it was for me to seek for. Yet, I said them,” No, I’m not worthy.” We were visiting our in-laws and soon would be going back to Alabama. I realized and knew that I needed the help of what I had learned about the Holy Spirit Baptism. I prayed a short prayer that night with my mother-in-law, she went to bed at 8:30pm, my husband had gone frog gigging with his father. I knelt by my bed and said a prayer and asked and received something so powerful that I can truthfully say it changed my life to the point I never lost faith in God or His love for me. I know nothing about why he said what he did and being on my IPhone there was another link to follow. He to me feels a failure and could not continue on pretending something he no longer was a true Christian and moving on to another place. I comment on what I see and it’s okay with me if you disagree. You do so in a kind loving way and I try to do that as well. God knows what’s in the man’s heart, I don’t.
Hi Christopher, of course I had not turned away from faith of God at all. And thanks for asking to have that cleared up. At age 14 my dad left me and my mother to live with another woman. He left for 2 years and came back. I had left church because a man teacher made the remark that good the backsliders are back meaning me as I had missed a lot. I still can hear his words and feel the embarrassment. I also felt God’s displeasure in me. So the only fellowship I had left were a group of friends that were willing to accept me and not good for me . This lasted for years of being away from God and church. Not happy feeling guilty and went from bad to worse. I still prayed sometimes but felt God’s anger. Finally one day in a Pentecostal Church with my new in laws I went to the alter and prayed.
What encouragement to read the good news that there are some states pushing back against the evils and taking back our heritage as a nation under God. Alabama with the fight against abortion laws, I serve a mighty God so why should I be discouraged. Just read a news flash on my IPhone ‘s Fox News. Another shooting Monday in a Wal Mart in Mississippi one dead and shooter down.
After reading the article and then on further as to maybe why he made this decision to ask forgiveness to all he hurt through his preaching. He has a new business and needs clients. Sinners, anybody and whoever. He uses story telling to help them with business deals etc and gave a phone number to call. Did no one else read it.like the prodigal son he has gone into the far country and only God knows why and if he will come back or even if he is truly happy in this decision. No one knows the ins and outs of a persons life. Old Indian proverb, don’t judge another until you’ve walked in His moccasins. Being divorced actually puts an end to his life as a Christian leader. A failure in his own eyes as well as God’s. I was there once and years later God brought me back just as He did the Prodigal son and did a wonderful thing in my life. Still working on me.
By the way, that was a beautiful poem,Adriel which I intend to have read by one of my children at my funeral. Will probably be our only daughter as she wrote her memories of her grandpa and read it at his funeral.
Interesting, Christopher because our family being from Alabama spent our vacations in different parts of Florida (before sharks started coming closer to the shore) and the rip tides are so scary. I was in one but closer to shoreline and I thought I would never make it back. That grandpa will never forget that and I remember reading that also, what horror that was for that family.
Thanks, Christopher. That’s why pedophiles become Priests. The trusting choir boys afraid to say no and if they do it’s all covered up by higher ups. Tells me we are in the last of the last days. Abused children are heartbreaking and I pray for them everyday.
News flash ..just showed the picture and name of a former Oklahoma Biker Against Child Abuse member charged with child sex crimes. Don’t have a link, it was on Facebook with News9.com if that will help.
And you He made alive who were dead in trespasses and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the son’s of disobedience, among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lust of our flesh.fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others Ephesians 2:1-3 But Paul goes on to explain to those that are now saved from God’s wrath by His love and grace. For by grace you have been saved through faith and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, least anyone should boast.vs8-9 Reminds the Jews that are having a hard time accepting the Gentiles as being saved without being circumcised.
