Tuesday

I am learning every day about Jesus. I am learning more and more about how I can be his friend.

It is a Monday!

Today is Monday. First day of the work week. I don't really mind a Monday. I feel better when I have gotten it under my belt though. I hate to wish away my time. Especially now that I am older. I don't know how much longer I have left here on the earthly plain. It could be
one day or I could have 40 more years. I am going to try and prepare
for any case though. A long time or short. If it is a short time, I want
to be prepared to meet God. If it is a long time that I have left, I want
to be here in good physical shape, which means I need to keep on working on taking care of my body. I have to go to the Gym tonight as a matter of fact.
My friend Boris from Switzerland wants to buy me a shotgun. I am so happy and excited. I Hope it works out where he can do this from so far away. What a good guy he is. I want to get a 16 guage. 22 is not strong enough, and a 12 is too much. 16 will be just right for protection, and to go shooting, hunting if I care too.

Rainy Day

Today it is a cold day. It is rather quiet here in my office. I like it that way though. I hate to put out fires all day sometimes. Most of the time.
I am feeling really good about my body these days. I am still very much over weight, but I have made some really good strides at being healthy. I went to the doctor and I got really good reports on all of my
numbers like A1C level and cholestorl and such as that. I was happy.
If I can just lose 35 more pounds by this time next year, I will satisfied
with my weight. I do not want to go out of this world a big ole' woman.

Friday in the Rain

I have a friend that I used to work in the Store with. A lady who worked with me at Tower Records in LA. Well, she seems to really, really take offense to any references I use of the bible on my facebook page. It seems to make her angry. And any time she can jibe me about the Bible, or God, or Christmas she loves to do so, and seems to take great pleasure in doing so. Why does the thought of thought of the bible, the son, and the holy Ghost, God, why does bother anyone? Unless you truly love evil, and the debil. I don't tell people what to believe, I just share what I believe to be the good news occasionally. Because I think it is hopeful. I want people to feel good.

Powerful!

Timothy 1 :16 But I recieved mercy for this reason, that in me,as the formost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience as an example to those who were to believe in him for eternal life.
Man, this is a powerful verse to me. I just found it today, while looking for a positive verse from the bible to start my day. And this just jumped out! What a comforting, strong, positive verse to read, believe in, take comfort in, feel strong from. That is if you are a believer. If you don't believe in God, I don't reckon it would mean too much to you.
You know, I am just sort of learning about how to be a Christian person. I was raised so, in the Presbyterian Church, but only this year, as an adult, do I feel that I am learning what being a Christian really is. It is more than just getting a good feeling thinking about God, like you do as a child. There is so, so much more to being a Christian. And I think when you finally get what it is all about, you cannot turn it off. You cannot just think about God and Jesus while you are at Sunday school, or when something bad is going on in your life. God, Jesus, being a Christian, it is in the forefront of you mind all day, every day. You want to pray, read the bible, think about God, and loving him, praising him, sharing him all day long! You feel so good about your faith, you are about to Bust!!!! That is how I am starting to feel like every day. I start my day thinking about the Lord, praying to the Lord, and I end my day the same way. What a wonderful thing!!!!!

Friday again, Snow day Maybe!

Well, I feel better today. And guess who I credit this too? I credit to this to All mighty God. God is so good to me. And I
in turn plan on being a good and faithful servant until the day I leave this earth, and I am with my family once again in heaven. I tell you people, all you have to do is have faith and trust in the Lord Jesus, and you will be taken care of. Some how, some way, you will always be taken care of. Answers don't always come the way you want them too. Or expect them too, but they do come.
Thank you Dear God. Thank you for loving me, and taking such good care of me. Thank you for helping me with my finances and figuring out what I need to do, and the assistance from the people you have sent to me to help me. I promise I will not let you down.

Deer Day

I cannot get the sight of that poor Deer, a doe, trying to struggle to get up and get off the road after she had been hit this morning. We saw her while riding the van on the way to work. OMG. That was so sad. My goodness, life is so fragile. Just so fragile. You just never know what is going to happen to you, or someone in your family, or anything from one minute to the next. It is simply amazing. It is mind boggling. Cheating husbands, and crazy children treating their parents rotten. Sick friends, and people who lose their jobs right out of nowhere. Checks bouncing that you could have sworn were good. An empty savings account when you knew you had at least 10 dollars. I mean my oh my.
The only thing that I know is true so far in this world is my daddy and my grandmother Ruth loved me to the ends of the earth. More than anyone could love anyone. And that feels good. And I have them in my memory banks when times get tough, and I want to feel a real true love for me and no one ever can ever take that away. An the only other thing I know for sure, and can count on is that I know All mighty God the father loves me and will be with me here on this earth till the end. He loves me. Man that is a feeling I wish everyone could have. Cause even when you are sad, and hurting, and worried and depressed, you know you have God the Father right there with you. And he is feeling everything with you. He knows. He knows.
I am asking God to be with me today. And to be with all of my friends and family that I know are struggling with something awful. Please be with all of us and help us to see light at the end of the tunnel Lord. And help us to know that you are with us, and you have your hand gently on the small of our backs walking with us through our days. And Thank you Lord for all of your gifts you have given me. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to have my dad for my father here on earth. He was the best. And thank you for all of my grandparents, my mom, my brother, his family, all my friends. All the pets I have ever had. Every living breathing thing that has crossed my path Lord I feel was there for a reason, and I want to thank you for the opportunity to have had them.
So that I may learn, and grow, and love the most that is possible for me.
Help to lead me down the right path for me Lord. Please help me to be in the best place I can be as to where I should live. So I can afford to live. Help me decide if I should stay where I am, get a roommate there, move out somewhere, just whatever it is I need to do, please help me to decide Lord. Thank you for everything Lord. I love you. Ruthie
