This Indiana Congressman, Rep. Pence, was not afraid to stand up in Congress and proclaim that we, indeed, are a nation of prayer!

    Amen!!!May God give us, His witnesses, the boldness to share our faith based on TRUTH to this world filled with darkness.
    We must never cease on praying as our enemies are active to defeat God's children. But they know...they are defeated long ago! To God be the glory! May many more "Mike Pence" stand up and not be afraid! God bless you sister Mary. Have a great Wednesday!

    Amen!

    Standing on the Word of GOD is the only way to stand!

    It is tragic to see the President/Administration the nation and the world rejecting the things of GOD. They will regret that because the Bible is clear: Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD.


    Love you!

    It's sad to see what our blessed nation has come to but I still know that the Lord is in control!

    Yes, AMEN! It sounded sooo good to hear a politician stand up for prayer and pray it boldly in front of all of us and our nation! Now let's have that same kind of action ripple and wave itself throughout the entire White House, the entire country and the entire world! Praise your Mighty name Father. Praise your Mighty name.

    Love & Hugs,

    Thank you for coming by for a visit.
    And, thanks for the reminder to get my little 'garden area' ready for summer.
    Most of the year we are inside because of our Oregon rain, which leaves things so green and beautiful. =0)

    I'll be back to read more later.
    blessings,

    Since I'm a resident, let me say Yay for Indiana! Mike's comments remind me of Isaiah 9:6 "... and the government shall be upon His shoulder".

Because He Lives, I Can Move

I’m currently in one of those places where you lay out all the options and then you make the best decision. It seems, however, like none of the choices are fair or attractive. I know God will help me in my situation because I desire His guidance. I’m clinging to His Word which promises that ALL things work together for good for those that love God and are called according to His purpose, Romans 8:28. I heard a great teaching this week about seeking God’s will and all the freedom that surrender brings. We can know that God is bringing about a victory if we trust Him with each and every decision. The speaker illustrated his point with a famous painting. The painting depicts a look of despair on the chess player’s face. He’s playing Satan and his soul is at stake. It looks like Satan is winning. Checkmate! When Paul Morphy saw this painting back in the 1800’s, he set up a chess board and aligned the pieces to reflect the painting. Being a world champion, he studied the board. His conclusi

A Veteran's Story

  I noticed Bill sitting in our local park where I walk.   He glanced my way just as I finished the last exercise walk song on my playlist.   He shouted and pointed to my car:   “Hey, is that your car with the Nam front license plate?   I stepped closer into the veranda where Bill sat on a picnic bench.   I noticed his Vietnam Vet cap and instantly I knew why I walked there that day.   The Marine Vet served during the 1960’s, the same time span as my husband.   Bill talked a lot about the war evoking my emotions from laughter to tears.   My South Vietnam front plate often prompts a conversation with a stranger and I’ve learned a deep respect for it over the years.   It is my way of listening to a veteran.   I enjoyed listening to Bill.   He made me laugh in spots but he made me cry as well.   Like when he talked about the sandwich lady.   “Do you ever eat at the sandwich shop in the gas station down the street?”   I replied that I’ve order coffee once in that place with a turke

Hello August

  We’re smack in the middle of summer but I will pause and count my blessings this season.   Our arid Arizona days have turned into monsoon rains and we are refreshed.   Triple digits are put on hold for a while and cooler desert mornings  allow me longer hours of yard work, especially after the messy, wild storms.   We’ve always grown hollyhocks, but for some reason, they went dormant the last two years.   I remember Tom on his sickbed reminding me to water the seeds he planted near the fence and, like a crazy lady, I watered what seemed like empty dirt all last year.   Was he confused, maybe?   Come spring I saw the fluffy, green leaves sprout all along the fence line.   I got excited when the different colored flowers opened.  You never know what you're going to get! As I watered, I thought of the Scripture verse about “calling forth that which is not as though it was.”   Hmm, I should apply that one to several areas of my life!   I spent last week with family in Tucson.
