Gulf Shores in the morning Oct. 7, 2019 Good morning!  The Lord wants me to share with you about praising God! You might think "What to I have to praise Him about? My life is a shambles right now. There is this virus and we can't do anything but stay home." Well, help us Jesus. We are all in the same boat. We all have a totally different boat but we are, or at least most of us, staying home, staying out of trouble or harm's way. "Well, what do you mean by that?" Well, we all have our own lives to live that are totally different. We all have different situations. We can't avoid those situations. Well, maybe some of them we can. But those are for a different day. One thing we can all do is praise the Lord! A lot of us have a family at home with us. Praise the Lord! And with that family at home we have the opportunity spend quality time together, to teach life lessons, to sit and cuddle that we don't always have time to do, and bond ...

Dear friends and loved ones, Good morning! What a day and time that we are living in. Do we go to the grocery store or not? Do we go outside or not? Will the store have toilet paper or not? Is it possible to stay 6 feet apart if we do go to the store? Will I get the virus? Will I get really sick if I do? Will I infect my family? Will I die or get well if I get it? If I get "it" will I infect others? Are you worrying? Please don't worry!  Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you .1 Peter 5:7 So many questions and no answers! If we have a stay at home order in our county or state,  do we stay at home?  Well, that is part of the problem. We are not following the rules. Well, when it comes to something like this, this virus, we have to follow these rules. In our state we don't have a stay-at-home order, like many of the others. I believe it is because we are following the rules, we are social distancing ourselves. It may come to this eventually b...

Dear Readers, The theme of the day, week, month seems to be fear. The fear of the unknown. The fear of sickness. The fear of people. The fear of running out of toilet paper, paper towels, Advil, and the like. Where have we come that we first of all, listen to the media?  The media wants to scare us. The media wants to tell lies before truth. The worst thing about it is that so many of us listen and believe it.  The truth, first of all, is in the Name of Jesus! There is power in the Name of Jesus. The truth is the Word of God! We should be listening to what God is trying to tell us not the media. And when all else fails read God's Word, right? We should be talking to God first! Reading His Word first! Depending on Him and His truths first! But maybe we don't know Who God is. Reading the Bible, His Word will tell us Who He is.  The first book of His Word, Genesis, in the Old Testament, tells us that God is our Creator! He is our Lord God Almighty! ...

My husband's view on his way to work this morning. The Cherokee National Forest.  Yes, he  pulled over! This is just a part of God's Glory and Majesty! Good morning! Galatians 1:3-5 NIV: 3  Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,   4  who gave Himself for our sins  to rescue us from the present evil age,  according to the will of our God and Father,   5  to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. I will try to greet you and end with scripture every time I post.  I want, but God wants even more, for you to know how much He loves you. How much He wants you to be His child. He created you. He knows your every hair, and cell in your body. But He wants you to believe in Him, accept Jesus, and make Him your Lord and Savior! He wants you to fear Him and only Him. (I will have an explanation shortly.) Have you had things happen to you that you wish didn't? Don't we all!  2...

Hello on this fine day! GOD is AMAZING! Let me tell you about it. My husband and I have been sick on and off since before Christmas. I guess all the activities and decorating that I do just wore me out. Our daughter and son-in-law flew in to spend Christmas with us. We couldn't do much with them. Daddy was in bed or sleeping most of the time. He had the flu. The sickness I had was a stomach virus or such.  We both spent Christmas Day alone sleeping. Our daughter and sil drove up to spend Christmas Day with our son and family. But through all this God never left us. And I praise His Holy Name! It was definitely not the Christmas I would have expected at all. And it was the first time it has ever happened in 43 years of marriage. And I pray that it never happens again. And I praise God for His healing. Also during all this time we took our car in for work on Dec. 11. It is January 3 and we do not have it back yet. And every time we call to check on it, we hear that th...
