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

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.

Willard and I had a good Thanksgiving. He went over to Weldon's and fixed us a plate, which I enjoyed. Kay is an excellent cook. Every mouth full was just so good. When we got finished all we did was through the plates in the trash and sit back and enjoy ourselves. Thanks Weldon and Kay for the food and the love.

Well, when I went to see Dr. Varia last week about the radiation, he said no to it. Thank God for that. He said that I had been messed up to much already by the last time they did it. He said only in a life or death situation, would he even think about putting me through it. He did seem rather surprised that the radiation from before had done so much damage. He was full of apologies. All the apologies in the world can not make me normal again. I have problems that will last my lifetime. There's no reversing burnt and scared tissue and organs that were damaged. But life is life and we all learn to live with things. Holding on to the edge of the Lord's garment is a habit to me by now. Knowing that with Him we can all make it through, keeps me in a joyous mood all the time. Knowing that we can count on Him, makes life better. And the joy of knowing, when we leave this earthly life, we will be in His presents. All I know to say is hallelujah.

Until next time God bless and God save.

Thanksgiving brings back so many memories of the past. Family and friends from by gone years. Here's a poem that I wrote so few years ago ab out some of my family members. Hope you enjoy. God bless and God save.

Family Pictures
Written by Joan Glover
Looking over family pictures and at peace I come to be.
As I look at the faces of the ones who mean so much to me.Each face brings back a memory of what once use to be.
Of those now much older, of those from life set free.
I look at the one of my mother and a tear forms in my eye.
As I remember how I miss her, trying so hard not to cry.
I know she was a Christian, and I’ll see her again by and by.
Until then I have her picture to look upon with a sigh.
Here’s the one of my children so many years ago.
All lined up like stair steps and standing straight in a row.
Knobby knees and bony arms and smiles that would glow.
When did they grown into the adults that I now know.
And granny and grandpa, the picture was taken at their farm.
You can see crops in the background and all seemed so calm.
Grandpa, now he’d never smile, standing stiff with folded arm.
By his side stood my sweet granny with all her gentle charm.
Here’s the one of my stepfather, Jerry Koonce was his name.
He treated me as his own child and loved us all the same.
He was there to push the swing or play the baseball game.
He was all the dad us children wanted, he needed no other fame.
Oh and here’s one of me so many years of sunshine and rain.
Before housework, motherhood and just all the daily strain.
And some would say they’d want to go back and be that young again.
But me, I’m happy with my life. I have no more to gain.
There someone else except I’ve no picture that I can view.
I have a description, maybe you’ve heard of Him too.
The description is in the Bible the books we all knew
Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and Romans are a few.
They say He died a young man at the age of thirty-three.
And the reason of His dieing was to save you and me.
I believed and received Him and He set my soul free.
And even with no picture, He’s still a dear friend to me.
His name is wonderful, counselor, a Savior to us all.
He gives me peace and comfort when on my knees I Fall.
And He’s always there for me no matter the times I call.
I only know this wonderful man, Jesus is my all in all.
