aturner A SHOT OF JOY! 0

THE JOY OF THE LORD IS MY STRENGTH! Nehemiah 8:10 Nehemiah said, “Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is holy to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.” Every once in a while I need to remind you why my ministry is based on Nehemiah 8:10… Actually, it is based on God’s character…..

MEMORY IN A COFFEE CUP…

aturner PRECIOUS MEMORIES 1

A COFFEE CUP MEMORY… DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK that a coffee cup could remind you of a wonderful experience? A beautiful cup giving you by a beautiful lady? It has for me. And yet, the lady I’m speaking of I met only twice (or so.) It’s been so long I don’t even remember how many times we saw each other. This encounter was over forty-five years ago; before owning our first home, before getting a…..

JOY JOT #396!

I give the best directions! They are out of this world!! 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 truth by their wickedness, since…..

aturner 911 1

Isaiah 45:22-25 “Turn to me and be saved, all you ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other. By myself I have sworn, my mouth has uttered in all integrity a word that will not be revoked: Before me every knee will bow; by me every tongue will swear. They will say of me, ‘In the Lord alone are deliverance and strength.’” All who have raged against him will come to him and be put to shame……

aturner PERFECTION! 1

I COULDN’T DO IT THEN… AND BE SATISFIED. AND I CAN’T DO IT NOW. Do what? I can’t keep a blouse top on that’s gotten toothpaste on it. Selah and silly? Yes: pause and think about it. Silly? No. That’s the kind of girl I am. I don’t like dirty: and, I’m going to correlate this with Heaven soon! Watch and see! I’ll never forget, and I think about this once in a…..

I won’t imitate anyone I don’t respect… Proverbs 6:16-19 There are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a person who stirs up conflict in the community. Ephesians 5:1-7 Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love,…..

CINNAMON QUANDARY… ON THE MORNING OF AUGUST 29th, as usual Duane was making breakfast! (God is good!) We had decided on scrambled eggs, sausage, and cinnamon rolls. I like the small ones with lots of that delicious icing. My idea: that’s what I wanted… But at one point the day before he had something negative about my favorite and spoke of the big ones he much preferred. Well, this took pleasure out of it for me. Now…..

THE WAY OF ESCAPE: FEAR GOD!

aturner THE REVERENTIAL FEAR OF GOD 1

Remember, I live in Minnesota… At this writing it is August 29, 2025. There’s been another madman who murdered here; it happened on Wednesday, two days ago… These satanic (Yes, satanic!) rampages don’t shock me anymore. And that is sad to say. Be ready to die; be prepared. God has warned you! What I want to relate to you regarding SOB! is an excellent observation: people ae horrified by this madman’s actions as they should (we all should) be!…..
