Too many candles to put on a cake.........

Almost the last day of January.....where does it go.....? Yesterday I went to my first great grandchilds third birthday party in a local park. Lots of little ones there....it was very cool, a bit breezy....but more than anything a huge reminder of how time has flown away. This next month I will turn 75....SEVENTY FIVE....I say it but it's not real somethow. Inside I don't feel a bit over 30....the mirror of course speaks a whole bit better than that. People try to soften the blow by saying things like..."You don't look it." " So many people a whole lot younger than you are doing a whole lot worse." " Oh , you've got a whole lot more years ahead of you." etc.etc. The truth is ....and the Bible says the truth will make you free....well....the truth is that none of us know from one day to the next if we have any time left here on this terra firma. When I was a young kid....Iwas once REALLY....I remember some member of our family singing a little tune...it went.."I'm a Methodist, a Methodist, tis my belief ...I'm a Methodist I don't deny ...When the old grim death comes a knocking at my door...I'm a Methodist till I die. Well it mayi be a cute little ditty to sing....but it takes more than being a Methodist, a Baptist, a Catholic.etc. etc. Yep...It takes a loving Father God, sending His precious Son, Jeshua , to live a spotless life before us, and die a cruel death, shedding His sinless blood to cover our sin....Methodist????Penecostal???....No other name I know....NOTHING BUT THE BLOOD OF JESUS. What can wash away my sin....Nothing but the blood of Jesus....what can make me whole again.....NOTHING but the blood of Jesus.. Oh precious is the flow , that washes white as snow...no other fount I know ,....NOTHING>>>>NADA.....NIL......BUT THE BLOOD OF JESUS. Praise the Lord that He made the way for us to sing....When the old grim death comes a knocking at my door.....I'm a born again, blood washed, spirit filled child of God. So even though 75 takes my breath away to say it at times.......what is 75 with the promise of Jesus in John that He is preparing a place for me , that where He is , there I may be also. 75 plus a zillion, million , trillion , billion who knows......takes our breath away doesn't it?

Where have all the flowers gone??????

Well, here we are, January over half gone already and still flying by. So much has happened ....the shooting in Tucson...snow in 49 of our 50 states including HAWAII???? Don't know about you, but lately I'm feeling a bit like Alice in Wonderland! Wonderland!? I wonder....how many others "out there" are feeling the same way. More than anything, I wonder how they deal with it all if they are not even the slightest bit familiar with Jehovah Elohims' Word....The Bible! One cannot read the prophecies contained in the Word without marveling at the accuracy of what has been prophecied hundreds of years ago. I remember as a child living with my grandmother how convinced she was that Hitler was the antichrist and the promised return of Jeshua was just around the corner. Since then there have been many predictions....8/8/1988...the end......2000....collapse.....and on and on. Even so, we must not just poo poo the fact that it is going to happen, and every day it seems like it gets closer and closer. Most often it is referred to as the END.....but you know what....it is really just the BEGINNING. The promise realized give us by the Lord Jesus Christ...."I go to prepare a place for you , that where I am there you may be also." It's hard sometimes to feel positive in this world with all the corruption, murder,abortion, rape, theft, hate etc. but we must feed our spirits on the Word of God and know withour a doubt that His Word never returns null or void, but ALWAYS accomplishes what it is sent out to do. LIFT UP YOUR HEADS OUR REDEMPTION DRAWETH NIGH!!!!!

Then sings my soul my Savior God to Thee, HOW GREAT THOU ART !!!

Hello again....it's been 6 months since I've even been hooked up to internet. So much has happened. The Bible book store where I worked parttime closed its doors December 18. It was a sad day...the owners had operated it 28 years and were so faithful in keeping it going. These times are really terribly difficult for so many, and we haven't seen anything yet. For me, I am down to just my Social Security,and have been praying for a part time job as I really need one. Something is different in my life this time however....I've been many times in the 'How will I ever make it????Living in fear and worry constantly.....but every single time GOD miraculously comes through in ways I never could even have imagined. What a wonderful Father we have and how much He desires for us to completely trust Him to dowhat He says He will do. " I will never leave you or forsake you" " I will supply all your needs." I will give my angels charge over you." " I will not leave you orphans." " I love you with an everlasting love." On and On He continues to call to us ....Come to me .,..all you who are weary and heavy laded and I will give you rest. I've only been back on the internet about 5 minutes, but just wanted to give my Father the glory for all He is doing right now in my life. I expect I will have some absolutely amazing tales to tell soon. Love in Christ
