Where Am I?

July 14

Totally exhausted from all that needs to be done for school to open
I just called to my husband...."What is the date of today?" Why
doesn't my AOL post the date and the time? I guess most people know
the date! :)

One of our daughters woke the other morning and said she was reaching for
the light by her bed, but couldn't find it. She finally realized she was
in a different place than where she had been all summer. My sleep patterns
have not been great lately, but last night I slept like a log and woke
up having no clue what day it was.

Do you ever consider what it will be like when we wake up in heaven?
On, TV shows or in movies a familiar line is: "Is this heaven?"
When we see Jesus face to face, I do not think we will wonder, we will
know Him and God's glory will be so bright we will not need a light!

The first time I heard Sandy Patti sing We Shall Behold Him
I thought for certain Jesus was coming back that moment! If you have
never heard this song find a way to check it out:

They sky shall unfold preparing His entrance
The stars shall applaud Him with thunders of praise

The sweet light in His eyes, shall enhance those awaiting
And we shall behold Him, then face to face

O we shall behold Him, we shall behold Him Face to face in all of His glory
O we shall behold Him,
yes we shall behold him Face to face, our Savior and Lord

The angel will sound, the shout of His coming
And the sleeping shall rise, from there slumbering place
And those remaining, shall be changed in a moment
And we shall behold him, then face to face

We shall behold Him, o yes we shall behold Him Face to face in all of His glory
We shall behold Him, face to face our Savior and Lord
We shall behold Him, our Savior and Lord Savior and Lord!

Let's Pray:
Lord, You are so glorious. Holy, holy, holy is Your name!
You are more precious than silver, more costly than gold, and more beautiful
than diamonds. We long for the day we see You face to face. Thank You
that we cannot flee from Your presence. While we may have no clue where
we are at times, our location, our state of mind, our hearts' desires
are never puzzling to You! Abba, Daddy, we love You. In Jesus' Name, Amen

She Fought the Good Fight

February 27 Bible Gateway's verse yesterday was: This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him . 1 John 4:9 A fitting verse for the day my everyday friend, soul sister, monster of the faith and mischievous partner in crime, Kaye, left this world behind and headed to her heavenly home. My husband was able to be by her bedside and said he knew she heard the words of our faith that he shared. Her sweet daughter held the phone up to her ear so I could say good-bye and the brightest single star you have ever seen shown through my bedroom window as she exited this earth! Yesterday, my heart literally ached so badly that I told the Lord, "Take me too!" Wouldn't she have been surprised if I had snuck up on her in heaven and said, "Thought you were going somewhere without me, did ya." When we received the call she was ready to go, I called out to the Lord for comfort and He led me to the Bible Gat

Marriage Matters #1

One of life's deepest hurts is when the one you love is unfaithful. Forty years ago, I remember an older friend, whose wife had been unfaithful and left him for another man saying to me..."Boo, I hope you never experience having the person you love and are married to, living 8 blocks away loving someone else." Deep hurt. They divorced. The wife of another friend of ours was having an affair with a fellow church member and a neighbor of theirs who lived 5 blocks away. She moved in with this man and our friend said one evening he was walking by the house where they were living together and saw them sitting at a table having a candlelight dinner. Ugh. The torment. I've always said it would be aweful to find out the person you were married to and  loved deeply loved another.  Hmm. We are the bride of Christ.  Is He our first love? 2 Peter 2:14 says: They have eyes full of adultery, insatiable for sin. They entice unsteady souls. They have hearts trained in greed. Accursed

Are You Sinking... Being Tossed About?

  A text came in from our neighbor recently, on a cold blustery day, when I was home with a stomach bug and awful headache. He said, "My canoe blew off our dock and has floated over to your shore."  And I'm thinking..."And you want me to do what?" I explained my husband was at work, but could help in the afternoon. I went to the window and could see the boat being tossed back and forth along our shore line. One minute it was close to our main dock and the next the winds had shifted and it was 200 feet in the opposite direction.  What I then realized is it had been taking on water. A text came again that he was in his car and driving around to our property.  Climbing out of my night shirt, I put on warm ups, UGGS boots and a hooded coat and limped outside to see how I could help. When I arrived to the shore line, the neighbor had tossed a 3 prong hook tied to a rope into the boat and was pulling it to the shore with one hand.  He had recently had hand surgery and
