I REMEMBER DONNA…

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…..

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…..

MERRY CHRISTMAS! HE HAS RISEN! (Don’t forget the rest of the story!) Selah. Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel. Revelation 1:12-18 I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me. And when I turned I saw seven golden lampstands, and among the lampstands was someone like a son of man, dressed in a…..
