Mishmash :-)

Nothing much going on today. Willard's gone hunting over at Weldon's. I'm hoping he gets a deer today. After all it's getting late in the season, and he's not got one this year. And I have no idea at all where David is. David has always been a secretive person, and I guess he will always be that way. He doesn't want mama and daddy to know where he goes. And after all he is 25 and older enough to live his own life. So mom and dad are, left in the dark about his whereabouts. We raised him the best we could. We saw that he went to church. We saw that he knew right from wrong. So all we can do now is leave it in God's hands.
I'm feeling tired already from my chemo. I wanted to go sew some on my quilt, but I just don't feel like. I am so glad that I did finish the quilt for Kay. Willard took it to her, he said she really liked it. She called to let me know that she had it on her couch with the matching pillow. Kay and Weldon both have done so much for me and Willard, there is no way that we could ever repay them.
I'm trying to decide what I want to do about the power port. My doctor said it would be in at least a year, but she would like to leave it in permanently. Well I have a whole year to decide, so hopefully the Lord will let me know by then what to do.
I'm putting a picture on of the quilt I made for Kay. Believe me it was made with a lot of love.
Until next time God bless and God save.

Changing chemo not a good option

Here's just a few pictures I took on the way to, and at Chapel Hill. I'm already feel a little sick tonight. The doctor talked to me in detail about the numbness in my hands today. She said she could take me off of the chemo that was causing it. The details were that if she did change the chemo, the only other chemo most likely would not work nearly as well as the one I'm on. She explained that the numbness may go away after a while when my chemo's are finished, or it may be permanent . I told her to not change anything. I'm leaving it in God's capable hands.
Well that's all I feel like tonight. It's been a really long day. Gonna go to bed and get some zzzz's. Willard has been snoring a couple of hours now. He deserves it, it's been three time worse on him than me. Sometimes his to do list is much too long. Please say prayers for him.
Until next time, God bless and God save.

Look what God has made

Setting here, drinking coffee, looking out at the snow, and what comes to my mind is, look what God has made. The view from my back door is just stunning. Anyone who cannot see the hand of God in this, just is not looking for God at all.
Although, it's going to be rough getting to Chapel Hill in the morning. Willard and I normally leave around 5:30, most likely will have to leave about 430 in the morning to be there on time.
Please keep us in prayer as we make the trip.
Until next time God bless and God save.

Well, it's Christmas Day, mostly all the presents are opened and all the paper wrappings are in the trash. Children are playing with their new toys, I know there's a few men watching football. And most women are cleaning their kitchen from the Christmas dinner that was cooked.

And now we look forward to the new year. Wondering what the new year holds for each one of us. We also reflect on the past. Those that are not with us this year at Christmas. It brings some sadness to our hearts. But as they say, life goes on. As we look into the new year, I'd like to wish each and every one of you a happy new year. May God bless each of us with blessings only He can provide.
As promised, here's a couple of pictures of Kenny and family, his boys sure have grown since the last time I saw them.
Until next time God bless and God save.

OK, today's been a pretty nice day. My oldest son Kenneth and his family came over. Bobby and his family came with Donald. Bobby's wife Kim cooked a very large dinner of ham, turkey, potatoes salad, string beans and lots more. It was a very delicious meal. We enjoyed the visit. Willard and I opened our Christmas presents this afternoon. In fact I am using one of the Christmas present now. Willard got me a Dragon naturally speaking software program, of which I'm using to dictate this blog.

I took some pictures today of Kenneth and his family. I will try to remember to put them on tomorrow. As for now I want to wish each and every one of you a very Merry Christmas. Hoping that you receive all that you want but mostly joy and love.

Until next time God bless and God save.

With Christmas so close, I dwell on the reason Christ came. He came to give His life that we may have eternal life. Here's a poem I wrote a few years ago. Try to imagine.

Can you imagine
Standing in the very place, where Jesus was crucified.
Standing atop the very hill, where our precious Savior died.
Seeing the wreath of thorns, that they called a crown.
Seeing His forehead bleed as hard, they pushed it down.
Seeing the blood of Christ, as it soaked into the ground.
Hearing the people scoff at Him, no sympathy to be found.
Looking at His mother as tears streams from her eyes.
I love you so very much my son, she whispers as He dies.
To hear our precious Savior speak, as He said, it is done.
To see His face at that moment, for victory had been won.
To be there as the earth shook, feel the wind as it blew.
To see the glory of God as He ended the old, and started anew.
Hear as they say, no bones needed broken, this man’s already dead.
So they took a spear and stabbed our Savior in His side instead.
They say He was hard to recognize, for He was wounded so.
Some man Gave his own tomb where His body could go.
Can you imagine, standing in the empty tomb that day.
When the Angels said He is risen He’s not where he lay.
Can you imagine standing in Heaven and looking in His face.
Knowing that if not for Him, there would be no saving grace.
Glory to His name Glory to His name Glory to His name.
Imagine being in Heaven singing Glory to His name.

Ok, So here's a question for you all. I'd really would like some impute on this. We Christians have all heard about the thorn in the flesh that Paul had. I was reading in Galatians this morning, and this verse just jumped out at me.
Galatians 6:17=From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.

My question is this. Could the thorn in the flesh that Paul had, have been stigmata ? I've heard many people bleed from their hands, feet, and forehead. Even from their eyes at times with it. Could Paul have been displaying the same bloody marks that Jesus had at His Crucifixion. Could Jesus have given this to Paul as a sign to all, in order to help Paul in His ministry?

Stigmata
Marks resembling the wounds of the crucified Christ that appear inexplicably on the limbs and body of certain sensitive individuals, especially Christian mystics. The most common stigmata are marks on a person's hands and feet resembling piercing with nails, sometimes accompanied by bleeding. Other stigmata include the weals of scourging, wounds on the shoulder and side, the bruising of the wrists (where Christ was bound with cords), and marks on the mouth (paralleling the effect of the sponge soaked in vinegar). The most dangerous stigma is the Ferita or heart wound, which under normal circumstances can cause death.
There have been hundreds of cases of stigmata over the last two thousand years, many of them on the bodies of women. In spite of some actual or suspected frauds, most of these cases seem genuine, and some individuals bearing stigmata have been canonized.

OK, Bible fulfilling prophecy day after day coming to our TV's our newspapers. So do you still think you have all the time in the world to except Christ as Savior? You need to think about it!

2010's world gone wild: Quakes, floods, blizzards
By SETH BORENSTEIN and JULIE REED BELL Associated Press The Associated Press

This was the year the Earth struck back.
Earthquakes, heat waves, floods, volcanoes, super typhoons, blizzards, landslides and droughts killed at least a quarter million people in 2010 — the deadliest year in more than a generation. More people were killed worldwide by natural disasters this year than have been killed in terrorism attacks in the past 40 years combined.
"It just seemed like it was back-to-back and it came in waves," said Craig Fugate, who heads the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency. It handled a record number of disasters in 2010.
"The term '100-year event' really lost its meaning this year."

This does not reflect the wars and all the men who have lost their lives this year fighting them.

Until next time God bless and God save.

I am persuaded also

Paul wrote in Romans 8: 38 and 39 this,
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
Romans 8:39
Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

I also am persuaded of this. Jesus said in John 6:39
And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath GIVEN me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

Jesus is holding on to us, and He will not let go. It's us that wonder away from Christ. And even when we drift away, He still has a tight grip on us.

You know, satan ''is'' an angel. But he wanted to be worshiped as God, so he left Heaven with the other angels that had turned their back on God. There is a hell that was created especially for satan and his followers.

We as human beings have to make up our minds who side we are on. You can't sit back and be neutral on this! It's either Jesus or satan. I hope you will decide Jesus on this very important decision in your life. And I do too, hope you will do it quickly. We don't know the day nor hour that Jesus is coming back for His saints. It may be before you even finish reading this blog. Thank about it, please.

Until next time God bless and God save.

My sister in law Janice, had a cat scan Monday. The scan showed only a small, almost undetectable cancerous tumor left. From all the cancer she had in her body, to say she has one small tumor left is so great. Janice has been through so much fighting her fight with cancer and she and the Lord is winning. But don't stop those prayers, she still need all the prayers she can get. Thank you all for being a part of this miracle, with your prayers and your good wishes. God bless you all.

Until next time God bless and God save.
