MOST UNUSUAL…

aturner ANN MARIE TURNER 0

I am typing right now by the hen pecking method. My right finger is out of commission for about seven days. SO: I am on vacation. Type to you soon!

MY NAME IS ANN MARIE TURNER. For those of you who used to know me long ago, I was Ann Marie Schacher. I grew up in South Saint Paul, Minnesota, went to South Saint Paul High School, colleges at Inver Hills Community College and Maranatha College in Brooklyn Park. AS YOU OPEN UP JOYETERNALMINISTRIES (Joy Eternal Ministries) you will daily see this article. I do this to help new readers get acquainted with my style. To…..

SOB!

aturner FEAR GOD 1

If you ‘got rid’ of your son or daughter; don’t beat yourself up… Repent! Dear God, I surrender to you now, right now. I am done in trying to invent a working lifestyle without you. I humble myself and call out to You. I’m done with lying, with pretending, and explaining away ungodliness… Romans 1:18-21 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the…..

aturner BE IN AWE OF GOD 1

YOU MAY NEVER KNOW just what influence you have on other people. I’ve heard it said that ‘just’ a smile can turn a person from suicide! NOTE: with this observation, please see my two articles on this subject. One is entitled SUICIDE; the other, ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT SUICIDE? Both of these are very informative and possibly life-changing. Back to Donna. Here I am, very close to seventy. Back in the day when I was gaining…..

FUR BABY OUTSIDE

aturner FUR BABIES 1

A NOW WELCOMED FUR BABY! TO A POINT… I named him Sam and he is beautiful! On January 2nd about 5:45 a.m. I was putting makeup stuff away. I use a folding chair, watch t.v. and / or pray (most of the time, some of both.) We now have a huge window in the living room (Shout Out to: !) I look out all the time when I’m passing by or chilling… So, this particular a.m. I…..

ARE YOU REALLY CONSIDERING SUICIDE?

aturner SUICIDE 1

I did… Perhaps a lot of the American population has: but, it’s not the answer. My stand on suicide is, “It can only get better!” Do you know suicide is a sin? It is self-murder… Selah. However, when people are not thinking with the mind of Christ, when they are not in covenant with God (Israel or the Church), when they’re not in their ‘right’ mind, depression may fall. Depression may encapsulate such a blanket…..

SUICIDE

aturner SUICIDE 0

HAVE ONE OF YOU LOVED ONES COMMITTED SUICIDE? PLEASE STAY WITH ME IN THIS CRUCIAL TEACHING: it is a Joy Story! SUICIDE IS A VERY HORRIFIC THING… it is never the answer. Years ago I have had the privilege of counseling two men separately on this always relevant subject. Thank God both of these men, both past their thirty’s, listened to my wise counsel. All glory to God! I am thankful they listened to me because…..

SNOW STEPS

aturner WEATHER 1

I’VE BEEN LIVING IN MY SECOND HOME now for over forty years… And yet I just got a fresh idea several days ago! Selah! And: it’s a good one! It’s not my age (very nearly seventy) that it was a challenge… Our front yard has a little incline / decline depending on the direction you are going. Going down is trickier for me. Again, not my age: I have just always hated walking on ice. I’ve never had a…..

TINA ANN TURNER, our Terrier mix, got her bath at 4:35 a.m. Tina was groaning in objection. She was miffed… She did not want to start her New Year with a bath! Only gets better though: tomorrow night she gets pizza! …..

WHAT DID YOU GIVE GOD FOR CHRISTMAS…

aturner COVENANT LOVE! 1

and what are you willing to give Him now, always, at any time? On the morning of November 11, 2025 God gave me this thought: “What did you give for Christmas?” For years my firstborn has talked about the commercialism of Christmas. There’s a lot of truth in that. However there is only one truth to what Christmas is. Selah. The Father sent the willing Son to come down to Earth, be born of a virgin without…..
