Please keep me and my sister in law Janice moore in your prayers. Janice has more areas of cancer in her liver, and I was told by Dr. Gehrig that my Pap test came back abnormal. She will be performing a biopsy on May 2. Your prayers are much appreciated for both of us. But that's not want God wants me to talk about today. God gave me this today. So here it is.

Living life on the edge
When we think of living life on the edge, we think of skydiving, mountain climbing, and generally taking chances with our lives.
But believe it or not, there’s many people that are living on the edge every day. They live from payday to payday, paying their bills., Buying their groceries, and other things they deem essential for life. Many have credit cards for every possible need. They have a credit card for gas, a credit card for clothing, credit cards for any building or hardware need and credit cards for any appliance they may need. And many if not all of these credit cards are maxed out. So payday for many people, is sort of a robbing Peter to pay Paul scenario. They live continually trying to catch up, while still using credit cards to supply their daily wants and needs. Most people, especially the young of this day and age, don’t understand what waiting for something is. They want what they want and they want it now.
They never think what if they lost their jobs, how would they live then? They never think, what if the main provider for the family got sick and could not work, or God forbid ,died. What then, would the family do?
Someone told me not long ago, their credit card bills totaled in the $30,000 range.
Yes people living on the edge of losing everything they have, just because they want so many things that they don’t need. They put things, and impressing other people, before anything else. They’ve got to keep up with the Joneses.
It’s a sad situation. And the only advice I can offer is from the word of God. And here it is.
Matthew 6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: Matthew 6:20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

All but for the grace of God

After hearing and seeing just small parts of the devastation from the tornados that ripped through the area of which I live. And hearing of the deaths caused by them. I can only say, all but for the grace of God go I. Trees that no one could ever guess would come down by a storm, now lying on the ground. Trees that withstood Hazel, Fran, Floyd and many other storms. Lie broken and twisted on the ground. Houses stand untouched beside other homes totally destroyed. Paths made through wooded areas, debris from the devastation lying in yards, fields and roads. And yet my home only experienced a very slight thunder storm, that was hardly noticeable. I’ve heard of survivor’s guilt, and I suppose that’s some of what I am feeling. I here of a small boy’s body being found in a tree, His sister’s body found later, alone beside all the debris, and a stream of tears falls down my face. I can’t imagine what the parents of those little angels must be going through. My heart and my prayers go out to them. There’s so many stories of such fashion. People hurting all over. Those whom have lost not only family members, but everything else they owned. A lifetime, wiped out in a matter of seconds. I guess we all question God when things like this happen. But the truth is, God had His reasons. We as human beings can’t possibly understand the wisdom of our Heavenly Father. All we can do is trust in that wisdom, and, give thanks to Him for having His hands over us. To all that may wonder where God was when all this was going, I say this. He was exactly in the same place when His only Son, Jesus Christ was hanging on the Cross. With tears in His eyes He watched . He watches over us too. All of us. Protecting us from the storm. God bless all those that are in need, because of the storm. And may I send my sincere heart felt condolences to all that were hurt by this disaster.

Until next time God bless and God save.

Question. Do you think of yourself as royalty? Well my friend, if you are saved from your sins by Jesus Christ you are. President Obama, Donald Trump or anyone else has nothing on you. You are a king, you are a queen. You are also a priest. You are blessed beyond words. So today and now on when you see others and greet them, remember who you are through and by Christ Jesus. Let Christ shine in you so all may see Him through you. Remember this, without Jesus there is no kingship nor priesthood. It's Jesus we want to revile and not ourselves. So hold your head up high and let Jesus shine. Rev 1:5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, Rev 1:6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Willard and I went to the beach yesterday, fishing. Now mind you, before we left, I reminded Willard to put sun block on. So guess who didn't put any on? It was me of course. I not only have a sun burn, I have sun poison. My face is oozing all over from the blisters. I know gross.

And Judy if you read this, we were planning on stopping by, but I forgot to take the address with me. I didn’t take my purse, which the address was in. We are however already planning our next trip.

We had such fun. The fish were absolution biting, well the sharks and mullets, anyway. I caught a shark that was ''"without stretching the truth""at least 15lbs in weight and was approximately 24 inching long. once out of the water, I could not reel it in. Willard was busy with his own fishing, so a man seeing my dilemma, helped me get it up by pulling on the line. All the while saying the line would probably break. Once on the pier, he made the statement that I had some mighty good line on my reel. It wasn't a sand shark. The man said it was one that when mature could kill a man. So yes textually I caught a baby.

How what was the finest catch of the day was Willard’s. OK so Willard catches a fish and as he was reeling it in, it swam under the pier and became entangles on the pylons. Willard broke his line trying to get it reeled in. Willard redoes his line etc, and just as soon as the hook meets the water another fish bites. Struggling again to keep this fish from swimming under the pier, Willard reels it in, finding not only the fish just caught, but the one he had just lost. Hook still in it’s mouth with all the was with it, weight and all. Now that was what you might call amazing. I thought it was anyway. I thank God for answering my prayer. A safe trip there and back. AND fish caught this time. God does answer the smallest of prayers. Yes He answers the major prayers. But God is there for the little stuff too. Because He love us so very much. All we have to do is trust in Him. Ephesians 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

2ND Peter 3:3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts.

You know, I've read this passage many times, but never has it hit home like it did this morning as I was reading it. You would think when scoffers are mentioned, that it's some evil person. Some anti-Christ, that you have never met nor heard of. You don't think of it coming from your own family members.

You see, I was having a conversation with a family member recently. She and I both have phones that have speaker features. And because it's easier to hear each other on speaker, we had the speakers on. Well her adult sons were overhearing our conversation, which was on Christ's coming. Her two son's and one of her daughter in laws started harassing us on our beliefs. Making fun of us for believing the Bible. They were saying such things as Jesus was not coming etc. The fact that they were scoffing at us, was not as hurtful as the thought that if they don't change, they will be loss in their sins, and left behind when Jesus does come back. I guess we all have family members of this same sort. It hurts us all that they are turning their backs on Jesus. I have learned in life that you can say all you want, to these people that you love so very much. But all in all, It's the Lord that will have to deal with them. All we can do is pray often and earnestly for their salvation. I hope each of you will pray for them as we all pray for each other's loss family members. Until next time God bless and God save

It's when a person gets some age on them, that they really know how special life is. We realize what a miracle it is to have life. And, if you happen to be a reader of the Bible, and a believer that it is the true word of God. It's then you realize that it was God who created you. God took special care in your creation. He formed you to be different from anyone else. No one is just like you. You are one of a kind, from billions of other people, you are just that special to God.

Life doesn't end when these bodies of ours are silent and still. It goes on throughout eternity. Where, only you can decide. I can only pray and hope that you have made the right decision.

I found this in some papers I had stored. I don't know the author, but it has great suggestions for life. Until next time God bless and God save.

Here it is, hope you enjoy it.
