An update

     Its been awhile since I've written on my blog.   So much has happened in the last few months.   My husband is still recovering from the stroke he had.   He is doing well but he is not back to pre-stroke days. Every day is a gift now.  He and I are walking hand in hand, enjoying our time together.   His eye sight is such that he can't drive so I have become the designated driver in the family.  I don't mind except for an aversion to heavy traffic such as in Dallas or even Tyler rush hour.  Also, I've gained a reputation for jumping curbs.   Its a tough world out there.

     Almost two weeks ago, my nephew, Geoffrey Weeks, went home to be with Jesus.  He was only 32 years old.  He fought cancer for over two years.   He was a musically talented young man who loved life.   His little daughter is an orphan Annie look-alike and he delighted in her.  She was his inspiration in his battle against the big "C".    He is greatly grieved and sorely missed by all who loved him, family and friends alike.   Our consolation is that he is with Jesus.  I
love the song, "I Can Only Imagine" because it renders an awesome  hope of what we will find when we enter heaven's gates.  I know that it will be glorious, pure and holy---everything that this sin filled world is not!  
     There is so much happening these days---not so much to me or my family but in general.  The darkness is growing thicker, evil is reigning triumph in the world.  We are in
terrible times---scary and uncertain times, times we could not have imagined a few years ago.  America has chosen the path of sin.  Our nation has lost its way.  Sadly most don't know nor do they care.  Personally, I am weary.   I pray and will continue to pray for the souls of those whom Father God have put upon my heart.  But there are moments when I yearn for "home"--knowing I am a child of God, bought with the precious blood of Jesus.  Most often I am overwhelmed with "home sickness" when the news is being broadcast with all the rottenness of these days screaming into the brains of folks who believe every word. 
     Before I end this blog, I must say a few more things.  First, I believe in the Holy Bible as the word of God---that it is exactly what God wanted us to have for our edification in these last days.  Not being a scholar, I nevertheless favor the King James.  The thees and thous don't bother me a bit!  I believe everything in the Bible to be true because if any of it is wrong, then all of it is suspect.  That means what God calls sin is sin.   What the world now excuses and even glorifies is filthy rags in the eyes of Holy God!  That includes every sexual sin.  Homosexuality, adultery, fornication, all perversions are abominations! 
     Any "religion" that is not the pure gospel of Jesus Christ is a lie!  Jesus is the only way!  There is a terrible place called Hell awaiting those who refuse to believe the truth!  Why do people prefer darkness?   Oh, Father, wake them up!  Save the souls of the lost children! 
     Isaiah 49:24-25  "Shall the prey be taken from the mighty or the lawful captive delivered?  But thus saith the Lord, even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered, for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee and I WILL SAVE THY CHILDREN!
     Thank-you, Jesus!
