THAT OLD GREY MARE
Guess all of you are too young to remember about her but I can tell you it is true 'she ain't what she used to be.' I am slower at all things now than say fifty years ago, even forty. I need to take a few days off. It is about to be Mother's Day. I need to prepare for a visit from my daughter who is a good mother in her own right and I want to make it special for her. I wish my other two daughters (step) could be here too. They are like mine to me; however, they have a Mom and need to be with...

HAVE A HAPPY AND BLESSED WEEK-END A REALITY CHECK ONE
There is so much stress in the world today I plan to grab a good book and kick back for a few hours and begin a good weekend. I hope you will do something you really enjoy and be blessed in it. Reality is a difficult thing to wrap our heads around sometimes. We want a sweet flavor to all situations, can't be. We think if we don't believe something it is not real. You know how a little child often loves to argue with an adult for fun. Mama bounces a ball to the child and says ball. The child hits...

SPRING HAS SPRUNG BUT ALL THE WORLD FEELS LIKE AUTUM
We have our garden going well. It is such a blessing. To go right outside your door and gather things to make superb salads is a delight to me. It feels peaceful and gentle like the soft sun rays of Springtime. Lawns are growing and mowers are going. Sounds of children fills the air.Birds and squirrels scamper all over the trees and do their chatter. New life is being created and the cycle begins anew. While all this sweet and calm movement is about the forces of evil are making big brew ha! The...

I AM ASKING BECAUSE I WANT TO KNOW
An incredible understatement would be, there is so much I don't understand. You know what, I believe that is true of all of us. I need to ask some of you some questions for my clarification. There seem to be so many people in this country who are ANTI-WAR under any circumstances. It isn't just that I don't understand that; I particularly don't understand that in view of what you do approve of that brings more death to innocents. 1. The same groups appear not to have any quarrel with 'honor...

WHEN A GOOD HAPPENING CAN'T BE EXPLAINED
Friday something happened to me that was so great I can't explain the joy. To some it may be no more than a trip to the 'wood shed' to me it was worth so much. My husband and I went to the grocery store. One of those times you run in just for an item and take along the other so you don't wind up blowing the weekly grocery budget. Immediately upon stepping into the store I saw this man walking toward us. I thought I knew him, yes it was him. About fifteen years ago a gangly kid over six feet tall...

I AM ONLY ASKING YOU TO CONSIDER THE COST IF WE ARE IN DENIAL
It is that time of year and dignitaries are speaking at colleges and universities all over the place. I can't remember so many controversies before. Wonder where that will go. President Obama spoke at Georgetown University recently. He insisted that the cross and name of Jesus behind the podium be covered. A wood cover painted black was made and used to do just as he requested. Are you aware that almost all our major universities began as Christian schools? Oh that was some time back when the...

TAKE YOUR HANDS OFF OR GO HOME AND STAY
It is RED, WHITE & BLUE at my house. All things change but there are some moral codes that never should change and the formers of our constitution have put into place certain protections to prevent people from being so ugly and giving our country to people who are not AMERICAN minded. It is time someone read it who understands morality. It is time we are able to put into effect the truth of that doccument. This is what I want: If prayer is not allowed for Christian children then I want to see...

ARE WE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE
I hear all this squawking about water boarding in interrogation of people who put their own children out as suicide bombers and so many other atrocities. Hollywood makes a living and a grand one at that through the art of pretense; yet Americans will listen to them about serious matters and will vote the way they suggest. Can we tell he difference in truth and lies? Can we tell the difference in good and evil, even if both hurt? Yemen is a country that I would not want to have them decide...

IT IS MY JOB - I GET PAID
I am a Christen by choice. I am white by birth without any choice as is everybody born into a whatever race, no choice allowed. I am an American by birth and choice. I would not want to live anywhere else and I am daily thankful I live here. I am not radical, those who do not agree with me or even study to see if they are wrong would call me a radical. I love my God, my family and my Country and I can go on to say I can't number the people I really love nor do I know them all. It is not the...

MORE CRACKED EGGS THAN WE COULD EAT
Sorry I have not been back to write over that stale blog but things have been popping around here. Easter weekend was a basket full of color, a few broken eggs and a lot of surprises. While most of the country has had hurricanes, tornadoes, flooding, earthquakes and a rash of wild fires we in the South have sailed along with little more than a four year drought. Well Friday afternoon changed things. We heard several sirens as ambulances, fire trucks, police and all wheeled things that scream...

A HAPPY AND JOYFUL EASTER TO ALL
Some people get twisted around about celebrating Easter and how the method of celebrating is pagan. So? It is the thankfulness for the action of this weekend some 2,000 years ago that we celebrate. I could not ask anyone to die for me. God sent Jesus to do so for me and all mankind who want to live to have the opportunity for salvation and life. The beatings before his death were so incredibly painful and horrendous but they were nothing to compare with the concept of dying with the sins of...

Does this happen to you?
I finished a blog and it went crazy, flew off into the never-never-land. This is acting like the old writer. I am leaving it to pout. I'll write when it decides to act right. Love you all.

IT IS HARD TO WALK THAT PLANK BETWEEN THIS AND THAT LIFE
Most of our women were young. Well when you are measuring age against mine everybody is young. But there are women in there from 20 to those with grandchildren. Still all of them are at a helpless moment in their life. So, so many questions arise that are hard to answer for them. Some have been clean and sober for a couple of days, in fact they aren't clean they are still detoxing. Others have been for weeks or even a few months if they came from jail. Their thinking is beginning to shed light...

IT IS SPRINGTIME
I know spring has sprung because the sun is just peeking over the Eastern horizon and the birds are chatting all around. I am not usually up this early. Today I begin another month with the women at the recovery center. We are not there to teach them how to live their lives. We are not there to give them tools to work with or rules to live by. That is what the counselors of the center are there for. We are there to let them know all people have done many things they are sorry they did and that...

HOW COOL IS THAT? HISTORY MAY REPEAT ITSELF WITHOUT OUR NOTICING.
I keep getting this sense that we have been under a green watch before. A couple I know of were so green in their habits the whole earth was green to them. They were vegetarians, they were nudist, they walked only wherever they went so no electricity, no gas, no damage to animals or trees and no problem of fashion. That may be what Mr Gore wants to bring back but I think he missed a few points. Let me tell you a little more about them; perhaps you know them too. His name was Adam and hers was...

HE DIDN'T SAY THAT
There is so much bad going on in our Country right now that it is sad just to think of the outcome for those who belong to the world. A lovely lady recently told me if you look at anything you will find some good in it. I don't agree but that is both our options to exercise. God did not say he would live your life for you. He asks you to give your life to Jesus and he will direct your foot steps. He will give you insight and bless you only if you are in the Word and following his commands. That...

Who let this bag of s**t into my state anyway?
Last week the 'comedic genius' Sasha Cohen was caught attempting to disrupt two different ballroom dance classes/events in the state of Alabama. He did it in a sneaky and underhanded fashion, through intermediaries who presented themselves as European film crews here to film ballroom dancing here. What actually happened was that during the break in the middle of the evening, like an intermission at a long movie, a couple of men begin dancing together, to their own recorded music, the band being...

LET'S TALK ABOUT THE WEATHER
The more weather news I see the more compassion I have for those of you who live in that swath that is having incredible rain, snow and bad winds and or tornadoes. Every time I see a troubled spot I see hundreds of people giving their time and energy to help themselves and/or a neighbor. Many are there who live far away from the trouble to help others. I love it when I see those who can do that. Who knows when we will need it. I give most of my tithes and offerings to a charity I am sure goes,...

Choices, choices and choices
It is not death and taxes that are the only two sureties. Instead it is totally the choices we make in life. We make many daily. There are two choices: They are Life or Death. Taxes are a part of this trip through earthly living a true consequence of the curse on the land. They will pass, life or death will not. Once one accepts the salvation of Jesus Christ he has the key to eternal life. It is somewhat like walking in the door of your first home. You can open the door and walk in and be...

WHAT WILL IT TAKE
There is a law that works whether you are a believer or a non believer: God will have His way in the Nations of his people. In about 520 B.C.The Jews were delivered into the hands of Nebuchadnezzar the King of Babylon. There they remained seventy years. They were sent there because of their sin. God had been incredibly good to them yet they wanted what the world had to offer which was never nearly as good, nor is it today. He gave prophesies of how he would forgive them and bring them back into...
