JOY JOT #363!

aturner JOY JOTS! 1

“I’m telling God! … Oh, wait a minute! He already knows!” Psalm 139:1-6 You have searched me, Lord, and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you, Lord, know it completely. You hem me in behind and before, and you lay your…..

RUBY…

aturner PRECIOUS 1

THIS IS A STORY I’VE THOUGHT ABOUT WRITING FOR A LONG TIME… And it is an impressive one! Ruby was a friend of my mom’s. I knew her when I was a little child. Being sixty-eight and a half right now, it is so good for me to remember her! You see, Ruby didn’t really talk to me all that much. She didn’t get very involved with my brothers and me, she was my mom’s…..

HOPE: BUT DON’T PRAY…

aturner THE FINAL EMEMY 1 CORINTHIANS 15:26 1

AND, YOU DON’T KNOW IF THEY ARE WITH THE LORD? HERE’S WHAT I DO… If you remember, I have a son in Heaven and a sister. Absolutely I know they are with God and I will see them eventually. I am patient; they are fine, more than fine actually. Selah. Both of these people died unborn. My son (might be a daughter) went to the Lord when he was three months in my womb……

SUICIDE

aturner SUICIDE 1

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 I love the Lord and listen to Him, He guides me…..

MY CLAIM

aturner ANN MARIE TURNER 1

In my lifetime I see disclaimers on television, statements making claims wherein people do not want to be associated with the topic in discussion. Not all that long ago, some disclaimers would say the people in question did not necessarily agree. Now some say those people do not agree with the given topic in their disclaimer statement. I, therefore, am compelled to write this claim. My stories are designed to honor God – אֱלֹהִים –…..

WE ARE LIVING IN CERTAIN TIMES!

aturner FEAR GOD 1

CERTAIN TIMES? AM I CERTAIN? How can I, or anyone in their God-given mind, deservedly say: “Don’t worry! We are living in certain times!”!? And if so, how could we possibly be right? Look around. Are we now living in uncertain times? That’s what most people seem to think… Doesn’t it seem to you that everything is shaky? Families out of control? Kids on drugs? Does it seem the most important things we need just to survive…..

GOD’S VICTORIES ON THIS DAY OF DARK CELEBRATIONS…

aturner SATAN'S DOOM 1

1 John 1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched-this we proclaim concerning the Word of life. The life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us. We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also…..

ARE YOU THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD?

aturner FEAR GOD 1

OR… are you celebrating a dark celebration today? Every day?! REFUSE TO BE UGLY… I CHOOSE THIS AS ONE OF MY THEMES IN LIFE and strive to impress this theme on my entire household… I refuse to be ugly! You should too! Ugliness is not just in physical appearance – presenting a hateful frown. It is choosing to be that ungodly, fully selfish person – or having an “I’m better than you!” attitude… It is…..

CHOOSE LIFE!

aturner FEAR GOD 1

I’m still here! Why? Because: I choose to be! I have been physically harmed… I have gone hungry as a child at times… (Three days!) I have been disowned… I have been hated without just cause… I have been lied to.. I have been bad-mouthed… I have had a cancer attack… I have been rejected and abandoned by people who tell me they love me… I have been rejected many, many times by family, friends, and…..

TERROR

aturner HELL 1

TERROR is a topic a lot of us don’t like to think about… And why is that? Stupid question, right? But here’s the thing: we need to think about the terrors in this world: better yet, the terrors of the next place where many, many men and women will be abiding in forever and ever. And, we need to think about the truth that God and His children don’t want them to reside in that fiery lake…..
