It's time for Jesus Feast 2021!
I am preparing to make a great feast for Jesus! I need your help!
For every dollar donated to the Jesus Feast, you will get your name in the hopper to win a stained glass cross donated by Margaret Pennel toward the cause.
My Jesus Feast will occur between Thanksgiving and Christmas. I will cook a BIG Dinner and deliver it to some essential workers and the homeless around town until it is gone.
This will require me to shop for ingredients, take time off from work, and use gas money and time to finish. I would use the donations for packaging, food, and gas.
Thank you for your donation!

Yesterday I was having a discussion with a friend about the Sabbath and I felt a conviction that I have not felt in quite a while.
It was actually refreshing. It was akin to hearing your mother chastise you for leaving your dirty clothes in the hallway.
Some of us actually wish we could hear our mothers chastise us like that again.
I thought God was done talking to me. He hadn't done it in so long. Then, suddenly, I feel this wave of...relief and joy and conviction -- the kind that makes you want to drop to your knees and say, "Thy will be done, Lord. I, your servant, am listening!" that I haven't felt in so long.

If there is one thing I have realized, it is that it actually takes faith to obey God.
How many times have you said, "I know I should do this (or that), but if I do, I am afraid this (or that) might happen."

I decided to take a friend to church with me tonight to introduce her to my favorite Church family. But, I was so afraid I wasn't going to make much money today, since my foot was still injured.

Today was not so good a day. I spent half the day updating my apps and taking care of glitches that were keeping me from being offered any deliveries or rides. By the time I got it taken care of, it was time to meet up with a friend for dinner at the Olive Garden.

When I was about three years old, I was attending a family reunion at a place that had a swimming pool.
The family gathering was upstairs. The building was made nearly all of glass.
The swimming area had a store in it where anyone could buy snack foods.
My cousin and I were running around chasing each other and we saw the candy bars. My cousin and I both took a few.

Thank You, Lord, for answering my prayer. It wasn't in the way that I hoped You would. But, I know that You only want what's best for me. And, now, I can focus on the little things again.

Have y'all not figured out yet that we have been invaded by people who are not sympathetic to America's best interest?
Now Versus Then (How I spent my weekend)

Last night, after doing Walmart/Spark deliveries all day, I went home, fixed a gallon of tea, grabbed my pole and fishing gear, and then decided that I would take Milo, too, to my parents' camp at Clear Springs and spend the night.
Life is Short, So Learn to Live While You Still Can

3 years ago today I woke up after being asleep for 32 hours. I was drained, dehydrated, nauseated, and had a bad gall bladder infection. The next day I drove myself to the hospital because I knew I was not going to be able to function at work.
I knew I wasn't going to come home...but I had NO idea it was as bad as it was! The doctor informed me that if I had not driven myself to the emergency room when I did, I would have been dead in less than 24 hours.
Just because someone isn't lying motionless or too weak to move much doesn't mean they are not dying. I learned that that day. It was ME.

One of the things I have noticed in my life and my walk with God, is that God tends to open doors when something is about to happen. It is His way of ushering in new events, eras, and turning around things that have happened in our lives
Dogs, Drama and Fishing -- The Week of June 27-July 3, 2021

This week started out on June 27, Sunday, with a chihuaha trying to bite me as I was delivering Walmart groceries. No biggy. I was wearing loose clothing, so he didn't get the skin; but, it was still annoying.
