SEASONS IN MINNESOTA CAN BE charming or vexing. Case in point: knowing it was very brisk indeed yesterday morning I wore a short winter jacket with a hoodie underneath (I’d rather be too warm than too cold.) But later in the day upon my venturing out again, without stepping outside into the elements to experiment, I chose to wear only the hoodie because the sky looked bright and beautiful. It was. And it was still brisk! Very brisk! I chose…..
I SHARED THIS FUN LESSON today with someone about fun memories of God-given effective and entertaining child-rearing… When my children were little and being naughty, and using an ugly voice — this is what I did: I’d say to him or her: “Take that ugly voice out of your mouth right now.” They would. Then I would tell them: “Now, throw it on the floor and stomp on it.” They did. And now the funnest part! I’d say: “Now, take out your…..
IF YOU KNOW YOU DO A POOR JOB ON APOLOGIZING here is terrific counsel: I’m going to start out with a memorable, laughable and very true story my family and I experienced with a tiny, cheeky boy… My children were much younger, not even teenagers at this time. We were at a church baseball game with my husband playing while our children and I looked on, visiting with the other mothers, boys and girls. Certainly it was a beautiful…..
FOOTBALL SEASON IS SOON UPON US and I don’t like football! But hey! I’m a free moral agent and I don’t have to! Just ask some of the players if they like to knit, wear makeup, write books, play the violin, camp or have a Ladies’ Day Out… some might, some might not. We all are different; thank God! He loves variety and so should we! Our Creator is the Great Artist! Just look at the different colours of people;…..
DO YOU THINK JESUS EVER STUCK HIS TONGUE OUT AT ANYBODY? Probably not… It is a tremendously funny thought though because I bet most all of us have done it! IF JESUS DID NOT stick His tongue out at anyone, however, keep in mind —- He did take a whip to men! SCRIPTURAL TRUTH FROM THIS “JOY JOT”! When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, Jesus went up to Jerusalem. In the temple courts he found people…..
I ALWAYS LOVE THIS TITLE! A PUPPY TALE… I have another, totally different puppy tale story in my first volume of “Joy Stories.” You should read it, it’s really good! I would never write anything that I didn’t believe in. Amen! Christians are no hypocrites: we know our need for Jesus as our Lord and Savior; we know we needed to repent and strive to sin no more. We know we are blessed by being washed in the blood of…..
Please notice I have removed from my website any opportunity for me to interact with anyone reading this site. I don’t have all the time in the world to interact and meet you all… To meet you all – now – meet me in Heaven! BUT: I desire for all of you to love, know and live (and be willing without a doubt) to die in Christ! That is enough. That is more than enough. My website is for…..
IT’S NOT “TRANSPARENT”… THE WORD IS… TRUTH! “Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill to the Lord the vows you have made.’ But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne; or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King. And do not swear by…..
My enemy cannot rule over me! I’ve been redeemed and I am free! The blood Christ shed was shed for me! REVELATION 12:11 They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death. BECAUSE: PHILIPPIANS 1:21 For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.
I’VE GOT LOVE TO DO: YOU’VE GOT LOVE TO DO! At my last posting God impressed upon me to tell you to: STOP IT! STOP IT! STOP IT! STOP fearing anyone and anything that is antichrist! That posting focused on the undeniable veracity of the ever-proven, errorless promise of God: He is for us – who can be against us? The LORD God Almighty has done everything good and holy for Himself – for you, for every man……
