Spitting on Christ?

All my Christian life, I have thought what evil people they were that spit on Jesus Christ. But something changed my mind today. As I was watching a Christian movie on Netflix earlier, I was taught a lesson. In the movie, a father speaks to a son that is having trouble in his marriage and who is also unsaved. The father says to the son that ignoring the call of Jesus Christ, is like spitting in his face.
Did you know that there are Christians even today that will spit on a Jewish person because of the people who spat on Jesus? And they think that they are doing the right thing. Jesus was all about forgiveness. And besides, least we forget, Jesus Christ was a Jew. So every time a Christian spits on a Jewish person, isn't it the same as spitting on Jesus Christ. If you'll remember the Bible tells us that what we do to people and for people that we also have done unto Christ. Every time you hurt a person, you have also hurt Christ.
Now I'm going to ramble some in this blog because there are a few points that I want to make and if I stay on subject I will not get to make those points. So here I go rambling. Now mind you I am not discluding myself as I write this, because I have done many of the same things that I am speaking of. I have a dis-taste for people who sat in church with their nose high into the sky, with their better than thou attitude. I guess all of us could say we know such people. But if the truth be told we've done it ourselves, and we don't have to be in church to do it. When we treat people as if they are below us, or not as good as us, it's the same as spitting in Jesus's face. Because, Christ loves each and every person exactly the same. From the richest person, to the very poorest. He died, he gave his life for each. He did not suffer more for one than he did the other. And yet even as Christians we have not followed in Christ' footsteps. It's funny how even watching a movie, and the message that is presented is like stepping on your toes. It's a message that I needed to hear, that I needed to be reminded of.
You know God uses many venues to teach us His way, His word, and His love for us. If we have our hearts open, we will hear the message. Christianity is something like falling down and getting up, falling down and getting up, over and over and over, until the day God calls us home. Being a Christian, is not being a better person than anyone else. Being a Christian is knowing that even though we have sinned, God is faithful to forgive us, His mercy is amazing. By mercy God is withholding from us what we deserve. Each of us deserve to die for our sins. But through Jesus Christ not only are we forgiven, but then God's love gives us more. He gives us grace. through Jesus Christ. I pray every day, and every night will salvation for my family, for my country and for the world. Whether they accept Jesus as Lord and Savior now or when Jesus comes back to rule and reign as king of kings and Lord of lords, they will bow on their knees now or then. Every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
Until next time, Willard and I both wish you health and happiness, God bless and God save.

Reject evil.

The next time you're outside, take a look at a tree. And as you're looking at the tree, think this thought. Mankind has choices. But the tree has none. Mankind can cut the tree down, and use its wood for so many different things. We could use that wood for furniture, to make our lives more comfortable. We could use that wood for homes to keep us safe and warm. We could use that wood for bridges to span the wide, ever rolling rivers. We could use that wood for paper products. And we have a choice when using paper from what once was a beautiful tree created by God for various purposes. The paper could be used for pornographic material or for many other ungodly things. The paper could be used in the schools, to educate our children. But I think the most wonderful thing that comes from the paper, from the tree created by God, is the Word Of God. Sheets of paper, printed with the marvelous and wonderful words of Jesus Christ himself. The words saved for centuries, so our eyes could see the word of God. So our ears could hear the word of God. So our tongue could speak the word of God. So we could teach the word of God to those who do not know it's treasures.


It's mankind, whom make the decisions of what that great old tree, bareing rings which tell it's age, will become.
Every time you pass by a magazine rack, with Playboy's, Hustler and all those other dirty magazines. Just give thought to a creation of God, a beautiful sturdy tree that could have been use for so much good now dawns the images of satan. What an awful shame!
Mt 7:17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
It's not the trees themselves that bring forth evil, it's the human being that decides what to do with them.
Humanity needs to clean up our minds and hearts. And reject evil.
Just saying!
Until next time, Willard and I wish you health and happiness, may God bless and save.

I received a phone call earlier with the news that Mr. Jack Bounden had passed away. Mr. Jack as I called him was a resident at Golden Years. Nursing Home. And I've said this before, but it's worth repeating. When one has been in the company of people for many years, one starts to feel like family. And that's kind of how Willard and I both feel about Mr. Jack. We will sorely miss him when we go back to Golden Years to give the Sunday school lesson and to sing. Mr. Jack would often ask me to sing," Why Me Lord". And every time I would get to the park where it goes" Lord help me Jesus, I've wasted it so, help me Jesus I know what I am. And now that I know that I've needed You so, help me Jesus my souls in your hand". Mr. Jack would start squalling, Tears would run from his eyes, and he would have the look at anguish on his face. Well one day I decided to ask him what was it about the song that touched him. He told me that in his life, there were so many wasted years before he was saved. So many opportunities that he had missed. And I really did understand exactly what he was talking about. I have so many years that I also wasted doing things my way. And just maybe if I had of had Jesus in my life in my early years maybe just maybe I may have finished school and have really done something really special with my life. You see I have an eighth grade education, and I guess some of you may have noticed that in my blog and other writings I most likely put punctuations wrong and in the wrong place. And if I didn’t have my little friend the Dragon to spell correctly for me as I speak, poor Willard has to come up with the proper spelling for words for me, I’d be in a bit of trouble. When I was raising my children every once in a while they'd complain about something, and I would say to them,” well isn't that just T.U.F.F.’’? spelling the word very clear and slowly. I said and spelled the word the way I had always heard it from my grandmother. Isn't that T.U.F.F? Lol. I had no idea that tough was spelled tough. In fact if it were not for my ignorance, my son Michael would not have had the argument with the teacher about his spelling test where he misspelled the word. It seems that he believed me more than the teacher. In fact he told the teacher she was wrong that his mommie knew how to spell it right. Lol embarrassment!


But anyway back to Mr. Jack. He will be sorely missed, he was like family to Willard and me. And you know, Mr. Jack had it right. Anything we do before we have Jesus in our lives are just wasted years. It's years that we look back on with regret that they were wasted and empty of anything that really mattered. Wasted years that we can never get back.

Please say a prayer with Willard and me for Mr. Jack's family. That God may bring them comfort in their time of sorrow.

Ps 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

The Lord is indeed Jack’s comfort. And I just give thanks that Mr. Jack did know the Lord. I can say with confidence that Jack really loved the Lord with all his heart.

Until next time, Willard and I both wish you health and happiness, may God bless and God save.

Yesterday while getting my chemo, I heard a nurse talking to another nurse, about a patient. This patient was evidently in grave condition. The words that the nurse spoke just stuck to me like glue. I still cannot shake those words off. The words were, and I quote" it's the quality of life, and not the quantity". And you know I've heard many people say that, and in time I also have spoken the same words. But they truly don't know what they're talking about, and until one gets in the position of life versus death, or knows how a person really feels about life or death, they have no right to offer any opinion. And remember now, I have said those words too, but not any more, I promise!


Now I can tell you this, and this is just my opinion. But there's quality in life until you take the last breath. Seeing the smiles of the people you love and cherish, this is quality. Knowing that you have touched someone, in some way, this is quality. If I do nothing but crocheted something for someone, hoping that they will enjoy the object I crocheted for them, then that is quality. Right now, I'm in the process of quilting quilts. The belief that someday, someone, will obtain these quilts and gain some joy from them, is quality.

A person with cancer, or any other kind of debilitating or life-threatening disease can do one of two things. They can either sit around and feel sorry for themselves and wait until the Grim Reaper arrives. Or they can make the most of every minute that they are blessed to have life. I choose life.

I'm the kind of person that cannot just sit and watch TV. I've got to be doing something else. Whether it's on the Internet, quilting, crocheting or whatever I can find to do. Oh I forgot I've also started to paint again, but unfortunately I have found that I have lost my touch, and I have found that I’m not nearly as good as I used to be. But that's not saying I'm going to quit trying, cause anyone that knows me, knows I truly never give up.

And I would like to say this, I am not boasting when I speak about the things I do. Because all things that I do, I am led to do by the Holy Spirit of God. None of us do good, in my opinion without being led to do so by our most Holy God.

And so I leave this verse with you as a reminder that the Holy Spirit all the most Holy God walks along beside us each and every day, helping us through the bad times, and staying with us through all other times.

Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:.

And please remember this. Until you’ve walked in others shoe don’t give the opinion that death would be better for them. God knows what’s in a person’s heart and mind, and He and only He knows when death is in the right time. Praise be to God.

Until next time, Willard and I both wish you health and happiness, God bless and God save.

PS> to all the girls at Thomas Drug store….Willard sends his deepest gratitude and love to you all. He and I truly adore you all. You all are bound to be the greatest pharmaceutical staff in the world. Your love and your outstanding care for all your customers make you the number one in our opinion. We love you all.

My prayer for today.
Heavenly Father I ask for Your will be done in my life. Although Lord, You and I have different opinions as how my heath should be. I hate this cancer that has invaded my body. The chemo kills it in one place, and then it comes back in another. But that's how the devil operates. Oh satan never gives up. But I have a surprise for him. You see, I don't give up either. And! with Your help Lord whether in this life or the next. I will defeat him! Lord I thank You for Willard, who has stood by me though thick and thin. It's precious how when he goes off , he keeps calling to make sure I'm ok. But You already knew he would, Didn't You Lord? Somehow You led us together.
I thank you for Bobby and Kim who have stepped up and really showed just how much they love me and care for me.
Lord, I pray for salvation for my family and friends. Lord there are some in my family that laugh and joke when You are mentioned. They call me and others that serve You "" over religious "". They don't understand that ""religion"" has nothing to do with being a follower of Christ. It's true that the non Christian and the Christian are the same to a carnal world. ""Their world'' that we Christians have to live in. Lord I don't want to be apart of that world. A world that is so very defiled with sin of all sorts. Lord Your word tells us that these very days would come, and so they have. Every filthy thing that can be imaged is being done. I often feel like the odd one out. Sometimes I feel like a little lost lamb, surrounded by wolves. Lord Jesus I can only imagine how You must have felt as You were spit on, beaten, mocked, denied, betrayed and murdered, for us all, as You hung on the Cross of Calvary. You took upon Yourself the sins of the world. Lord it seems that fewer and fewer care. Lord God show me what I can do, to bring some of the loss ones to You. Before it's too late. Lord my heart breaks knowing that hell and damnation awaits some of them.
I pray this and all things in the name of Jesus Christ, my Lord and my Redeemer. Amen.
Until next time God bless and God save.

I'm here at Chapel Hill as I write this. I'm drinking that contrast,ugh. And I'm wondering what the cat scar will show. I have an appointment with Dr. Gehrig at 2:30 this afternoon. She will gve me the results of the cat scan then. I'm really hoping that the scan shows no new cancer growth' but I will except whatever God has allowed. The tablet that I have been taking keeps me broke out with a rash that iches constantly. Plus I have been having some pretty bad cramps in the abdomenal area. So I'm almost sure the cancer has returned. But for some reason I still have that faith within me that saids all things are possible with God. You know, God has a purpose for all that He allowes. Have you ever given thought to the fact that if not for God, what this world would be? God keeps many, many things from happening. He holds back many storms. He allows ths earth to spin at just the right speed so as to stay in orbit. There's so very much that is in God's control, things that we are unaware of. He is a great, great God. But He does allow some things to happen. Some of which we don't understand. But God has His reasons. God kn ows what He's doing and why. We just need to trust him.                 Until next time
