It Opened My Eyes And I Ceased Striving 2 Corinthians 3:3 Clearly you are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of The Living God, not on tablets of stone, but on tablets of flesh, that is of the heart. Linda Grace Raber, my high school football cohort: GIRLFRIEND YOU ARE THE BEST! That is a statement that we say to one another, from the heart. Years ago, we both struggled with our marriages. My marriage made a 360 and we have never been better. We both had baggage to melt…
PART 3 Over The River And Up The Hill To Dublin We Will Go Catholic Bible…The Book of Wisdom Ch.6 13-17Stay away from your enemies, and be on guard with your friends. Faithful Friends are a sturdy shelter; whoever finds one, finds a treasure. Faithful Friends are beyond price; no amount can balance their worth. Faithful Friends are life-saving medicine; Those who fear the Lord enjoy stable friendship, for as they are, so will their neighbors be. May, 2006… it’s Friday night. Dad is milking…time to call Gracie. It’s spring! Tom is busy…
PART 2 The Catholic Fressing: May 17,2003 And Other Zanies For your info: Dutch interpretation: The word Fressing means pigging out, or eating way too much. The word goxing means gossiping or playfully speaking. Before Vatican II, Catholicism was filled with rules. We didn’t eat meat on Fridays. I’m Bored!!!!! Living in a household of all men, can make the single woman feel unappreciated and often CRA!CRA!! When there’s a family vote over any issue, I usually lose…talk about feeling invisible! It’s mid May, all of the crops should be planted by now…
PART 1 God Created A Monster: Halloween 2002 Prequil: My Best Friend….Linda Grace….. for years we dealt with workaholic husbands. My husband milked cows for 43 years, caring for his family and building a Century Farm. Gracie’s husband worked late hours at Honda. It’s a necessity of life for all women to have friends they can rely upon. Women need other women. The best way to stop feeling sorry for yourself, is to get a friend and become creative….. AND SO WE DID! Purple and pink wings, green antennae, six legs, and a tiny red body with…
Happy Halloween! Luke 12:25-26 Who by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest? I LOVE THE FALL: Halloween, harvest, colored leaves, chili, vegetable soup, pumpkin pie, Football Friday Night, cool, crisp sunny days, holidays on the way, Hallmark Xmas Movies begin. Fall decorations give a boost to my soul, with the sight of the holidays in the near future. How did Halloween originate? Before the medieval days, it was celebrated as All Hallows Eve. On the night before All Saints Day…
RIP….Our Sweet Dr. Kathy Sabo 1 Thess. 4:16-18 For The Lord Himself will come down from heaven, with a shout, with a voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet The Lord in the air. And so we will be with The Lord forever. Therefore, encourage each other with these words. I was raised on Weller Rd. in what is now Montgomery, a northern suburb of Cincinnati. We…
“Yes, Sir!” That’s The Only Answer When He Gives You An Order 1 Timothy 4:14-16 Do not neglect your gift, which was given to you through a prophetic message, when the body of elders laid their hands on you. Be diligent in these matters; give yourself wholly to them, so that everyone may see your progress. Watch your life and doctrine, closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers. OK LORD…..I NEED TO GET SERIOUS! My gifts are the following: reading, writing, speaking, teaching…
I’ll Give You a Good Grade So Your Feelings Aren’t Hurt. 1Timothy 4:1-5 The Spirit says that in the latter times, some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving, by those who know the truth. For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving…
I’m Under Construction John 15:5 I am the vine, you are the branches. Whosoever lives in me, and I in him bears much fruit. However, apart from me, you can do nothing. Yep! It’s one of those days. I’m hiding under the covers with a huge sign on top that states, I’M UNDER CONSTRUCTION. DO NOT DISTURB. The last two days have been a royal pain in the butt. Anything that could go wrong did. Nothing major…just enough nitpick things to make you crazy. Sunday:*Took hubby to Urgent Care Left at 9:30…
You Can Count Your True Family And Friends On One Hand James 1:2-3 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of any kind. You know that the testing of your faith develops character, and character develops perseverance. If you are a Christian and eagerly await the return of the Lord, you know that we are now in the last days. Ok Friends….I don’t want to be redundant…but the Book of Sirach, from my Catholic Bible, says all. TRUE FRIENDSHIPBook of Sirach Chapter 65 Pleasant speech multiplies friends, and graciouslips, friendly greetings……I…
Two Dear Ones Whose Positive Attitudes Aided Their Healing Process James 5:13-15 Is any of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise. Is any one of you sick? He should call on the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. Let me tell you stories about two profound, strong women who took their own health care seriously. In pulling their…
She and Mom Blessed Me With Their Wisdoms Because I asked and Listened James 1: 2-3 Consider it pure joy, my brothers when you face trials of many kinds. Because you know that testing your faith develops perseverance. I was so blessed to be of the linage of mom and granny. It’s their faith, teachings, and examples that led me to Christ. Oh I was somewhat of a rebel in my youth, but my faith was my foundation. Granny always said,” With age comes wisdom, and experience is the best teacher.” At 70 all of her words have…
Who Me? Mark 5:28-34 She thought, If I just touch His clothes, I will be healed. Immediately, her bleeding stopped, and she felt in her body that she wasfreed from her suffering. At once, Jesus realized that the power had gone out of Him. “Who touched my clothes?” You see people crowding all around you, and yet you ask, “Who touched me?” But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it. Then the woman, knowing what had happened, fell at His feet, trembling with fear, and told Him the truth. He said to her, ”Daughter, your…
“You Know The Lord, Don’t Ya, Hun?” Luke 1: 76-79 And you, my child, will be called a prophet of The Most High; for you will go on before The Lord to prepare a way for Him, to give His people knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins, because of the tender mercies of God by which the rising sun will come to us through heaven to shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace. It was an average day. I went into…
Addiction Is a Self-Devouring, Bacteria Psalm 105:4 Look to the Lord and His strength; seek His face always. John 15:11 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete. Self-devouring, flesh-eating bacteria can take your life quickly.
