Any Christian knows that others are supposed to see the light of Jesus in us. And that's exactly what my husband Willard does. My son David has a stone in his gallbladder and will not be able to see a surgeon until November 5. When David went to the emergency room yesterday they gave him prescriptions for pain, nausea etc. Well David did not have the money to buy the prescriptions with, and asked us to help him out. Well Willard, went this morning to take David to the drugstore to get the medications. But first while he was waiting for David to come out of his apartment, he noticed three people outside of the apartment complex. He nodded at a woman and said hello. The woman asked Willard was he a preacher. He gets that question a lot from people. Willard told her no, that he did give Sunday school lessons at Golden Years Nursing Home. The woman said to Willard" I knew you were a Christian because I can see the light of Jesus shining in you''. Then another woman said she also could see Jesus all over Willard, and a man also agreed with the two women. Willard said that it meant a lot to him that these women and the man said what they did. You see, each one of us needs to know that we make a difference in this world. And I guess, God knowing that Willard has been going through so much lately with my cancer and such a heavy load on him. He needed to know that he was making a difference in this world. Through these women and the men, God has led Willard to know that yes indeed he is making a difference, and he is important to all people around him.
That's how every Christian should be. No matter where you are or what you're doing, every person around you should be seeing Jesus in you. If you truly have Jesus in your heart, and you truly are serving God with all your might, that light will shine through.
Mt 13:43Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Until next time,
Willard and I both wish you health and happiness, God bless and God save

If you remember, yesterday I called the devil a bully. And it is so true, some people call him the cosmic bully. He has been bullying ever since his fall from heaven. That's right, and the territory he terrorizes is the entire universe. He and his demons bullies each one of us every day. Anything from whispering in your ear, there is no God, God doesn't love you, Jesus is just a profit, there is no heaven etc. etc. Each time he whispers in my ear there is no God. I in turn tell him if there is no God there is no Satan, so get behind me Satan. Each time he tells me Jesus was just a normal man, or just a profit. I asked him why then are you so afraid of him ?  The devil is nothing but a liar and a bully.  Isaiah 41:11 part of the verse reads,  those who war against you shall be as nothing at all. For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, “Fear not, I am the one who helps you.”
Don't it make you feel good that God has you in his hand, and that He will protect you from those who wish you harm.
In Luke chapter 1, versus 10 – 42 we see where Satan even tried to bully Christ. You see, since Christ had been without food or water for so many days, old Satan thought Him weak. So Satan decided to bully Christ into temptation.
There's a lot of bullying going on in our world, on job sites, in our schools, in our military and the list goes on and on. What the bullies don't seem to understand is that when you bully someone, it is like murdering them. The reason being you changed that person mentally so dramatically that they can't be who they are or who they may have become. I was bullied at school myself, and know very well what it does to our mental status. It's something that remains with you the rest of your life. One's self esteem is destroyed, there's no getting it back. A bullied person normally lives their lives with very low self-esteem. Many have an empty hole that they never can fill. Some overeat and become obese, some do drugs or alcohol, trying to fill that hole with something.
I want Each and every bully that should read this blog to know this – that when you bully for what ever reason you do it. God sees it as murder, and well He should! 1st John 3:15 states

Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.
When you bully, you are in a sense a follower of Satan himself, because you are doing just what he wants you to. Think about it, and pray about it.
Until next time, Willard and I wish you health and happiness, God bless and God save.

Dang it, Dang it, Dang it. Sometimes I want to take that serpent they call satan and stomp the tar out of him.
I had a slight reaction to my chemo today, oh well, might as well tell the truth the Dr. did not think it was slight at all. I will go into the hospital the next time I have chemo, so they can give it at a much slower rate. They will tell me after that, whether I can continue in the chemo room, or continually get it at the hospital, or change my chemo. Ya know, just when I start climbing the hill, satan comes along and keeps trying to be the big bad bully, and he pushes me right back down the hill. But what satan doesn't know is that I have a life line that is fastened and secured to the Solid Rock. Jesus Christ the Solid Rock. You See, God may allow Satan to push me down the mountain. But he cannot push me off the mountain because as I said, I'm connected to the Solid Rock. And old satan pushed me down the mountain again today, and I may be bruised, and I may be battered, but I'm not beaten. I have plenty of fight left in me, so satan leave me alone, get behind me, in the name of Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior.
Philippians 4:13 –I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
I'm not saying that I don't get afraid at times, because I do, but when I reach to Jesus He helps. When I am weak, He gives me strength. And when I'm lonely, He gets someone to hug me. I know with all my heart and with all my being, that the love of Jesus surpasses anything we've ever known. Look what all He has done, look at all He is doing, and look what He will do.
Until next time, Willard and I both wish you health and happiness, God bless and God save.

Yesterday, I went to Chapel Hill to get magnesium. There was a lady sitting across from me who was getting her chemo, plus some magnesium. If you'll recall in a previous blog about percentages, I said, there has to be someone in that 2% or 3% or else they would not be percentages. The Mayo Clinic states that there's a 2% chance that anyone will develop serious problems with knee replacements. This lady was in that 2%. She being a nurse, knew all the signs to look for. She knew everything there needed to be known about how to take care of her surgical areas. And yet with everything seemingly on her side, she lost her leg to infection. She seemed as if she had adjusted well to her circumstance. She lost her leg in 2011, and has cancer too. I was impressed at her attitude. She too knows the Lord as her friend and as her Savior and Lord. She, like me has faith that God knows what he's doing, and there is a purpose behind it all.
You know, when God test us, Deuteronomy 13:3 for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul. He often starts small and gradually makes the tests more difficult each time. I know, sometimes it seems that some people that God just smacks them down with tests so enormous it's hard to stand up to it. But no matter the test, whether small or large, God will never test us beyond our strength. And sometimes too we Christians see what seems to be the most evilest people in the world, never having to go through problems, or troubles of any kind. '''''''''''The devil already has them!'''''''''
In ancient times, many people thought problems and troubles were a sign that you had not been living as God wanted. And that anyone with problems or troubles were getting punished by God for their sinful deeds. In Job, Job's friends constantly accused him of sinning against God. But Job knew in his heart that he had served the Lord in righteousness. In fact Job stated to these men this.
Job 13:15
Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.
You see, Job knew that he had served the Lord to the best of his ability.
And that's truly the only thing that God wants of us. That we receive His Son, Jesus Christ, as

our Lord and Savior, and that we just do the best we can in serving Him.
Until next time, Willard and I both wish you health and happiness, God bless and God save.
