The best way I can bless you, Israel, first and foremost is to love the one and true living God: your God, my God: the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of all, whether others worship and now Him or not. Selah. The next is to acknowledge you are God’s chosen people: Genesis 17:1-7 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, “I am God Almighty; walk before me faithfully and be blameless. Then I…..
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…..
ONCE UPON A TIME and long ago I deeply loathed the month of March… Good to know I was a sinner at the time. I love, absolutely love, when I admit I was stupid, stupid or wrong! (A very good character trait!) Selah. Why did I loathe the month of March? Glad you asked! The weather. Minnesota Marches are for the most part dreary looking. Yes, here in Minnesota, March gives much of our trees, plants, and ground…..
And another thing: I will be so glad to never see: a cigarette in Heaven!
BECAUSE OF DUANE’S HOURS many times we celebrate holidays and special occasions at a later date. Thankfully, I’ve never had a problem with that. I am forever grateful to my God and choose His joy! Amen and amen and Selah! I am the Christian woman-type who knows the preciousness of God, His people, and life, God-kind of life. Ergo, when our celebration date does not align with the one on the calendar it is well with my soul!…..
don’t say anything at all! Here is yet another great biblical truth: the above statement, “If you can’t say something nice… don’t say anything at all is.” is bogus. How many of you know that this statement is truly bogus? Selah. Surprised? Don’t be. You shouldn’t be. Why? Because for those of you who are surprised, I know that you are not reading your Bible. Or perhaps you discount the Bible. Either way, you are uniformed, misinformed,…..
I don’t post many of my JOY JOTS! but I love every one of them! Because of this, it’s fun to number them! THE JOY OF THE LORD IS MY STRENGTH! GO AND BE THE SAME!
ON THIS DAY WHERE ROMANTIC LOVE IS SO CELEBRATED BY SO MANY… one of the most loving things I can do for people who are not in love with God and man (Matthew 22:35-40) is warn them: HELL IS REAL! YES, I AM MOST EXCITED TO teach on this subject! And… to back up the truth of Hell’s existence with God’s truths: His holy Scriptures! Why? Simple. Because like God, I don’t want anyone to go there! But…..
DUANE AND I have been sweethearts since 1979. Married in September of that same year, I have never, ever, seen him look wrongly at another beautiful woman! I knew he never would! Here are two of my Valentine Memories I’d like to share with you now: #1 We had met February 3rd, 1979. Our first date was on February 6th. Our first kiss was our last kiss to any other potential love interests… Selah. However, that famous February month…..
THIS IS FEBRUARY 14TH… Valentine’s Day! Lover’s Day! Sweets for the Sweet! Candy and Roses! Kisses and Hugs! And… Even “I love you(s)!” PRAISE GOD! PRAISE GOD! FOREVER! PRAISE GOD! I remember many beautiful celebrations with my husband and second best friend; Jesus being the first, of course… And this is Who I am uplifting on this day which is a traditional celebration of love. Beloved: no man, no woman could ever be blessed with real…..
