I dont know if Ive ever shared the story of my Riley dog but I would like to share it with you in good faith. I know my place in the world but I also know that Gd can do the impossible and what is impossible with man/woman is possible with Gd. I trust Gd. Here is my story I hope it encourages you for it often encourages me when I feel down.
The story of "MY DOG RILEY" by GL/Hope7

About a year ago, give or take a month, a puppy showed up unexpectedly in our front yard. I haven't owned a dog in nearly twenty years and the idea of having a dog was the last thing on my mind. It didnt take long though before he had warmed my heart and I feel in love with this puppy. He was a white puppy with big brownish red spots and the most adorable St. Bernard looking face. I was surprised at how easy it was to take care of him and how much we enjoyed taking him for walks. He was such a delightful addition to our family. I loved this mutt. We took him in and deticked and defleaed him and put a colar of ownship on him.
One late afternoon after taking him for his usual walk I noticed he didnt drink any water or eat any food that evening. He was very lethargic and he did not look his usual peppy puppy self. I also noticed he seemed to have a slight fever when I touched his snout and forehead. I shrugged it off until the next morning when he was still not eating  and was even more lethargic than the day before. I went onto my computer and began to check out his symptoms and the word Parvo kept coming up as a possiblity. I called the vet and a very nice woman listened to his symptoms and she too said she thought it was most likely Parvo. She explained the mortality rate and the unusal treatment of such a virus. She did not give him much hope. I asked her what I could do for the next 24 to 36 hours to keep him alive until Monday morning arrived and I could bring him in for a test and possible treatment. She told me to go to the store and purchase a turkey baster and force fluids every few hours.I made up my mind to do all I could to keep him alive and pull him through this Parvo or whatever it was. She suggested gatorade, pedia-lite, and water. I had also read from my online search about putting honey on the dogs gums if the dog had Parvo to give them the necessary glucose. I went to the store and purchased everything that the online vet and the local vet personnel had recommended and began my hydration round the clock care.

DONT FALL FOR THE LIES STUDENTS. THINK FOR YOURSELF AND LEARN THAT GOD IS GOOD ON YOUR OWN. CALL THESE TEACHERS TO THEIR BLUFFS AND SEE THAT OUR GOD IS MIGHTIER THAN THEIR WAYS! WHOM WILL YOU BELIEVE? BY GL

When I was a kid I almost drowned one day while out swimming in a spring with my family.I dont know if youve ever swam in a spring but they are notorious for deep wells and hole underground and many people have died after falling into them. I later learned to swim at this same spring but on this day I still could not swim at all.The day I fell into one I was very young and I could not swim and I followed my step Dad out into the water and I did not know that below the water was a deep hole and I stepped right into the hole. I went straight down and when I hit bottom I used my toes to push myself back up to the surface just enought to yell out , Help, before sinking below the surface again.I dont know how many times I yelled out for help this way but I now that I kept seeing my dads back walking away from me and as he would turn to see who was calling him I would sink below the water again. About the time I was ready to give up he reached down and pulled me out...God has watched over me and He has saved me over and over again in life. When the waters overtake you call out to God and He will send someone to help you!

 THE THREE LAKES, By GL This is not a true story it is my version of a well told story through time. I have incorporated some of my own aquaintances but again this drowning never happened in real life but if it had the players I inserted would be of the same caliber of those I experienced in life.

 Their was a man who was a hermit and did not socialize much with others. He did not have many friends and lived a solitary life on the outskirts of civilizaiton. He did not believe in the goodness of mankind nor in God. He did not trust many people. He came from a family that was not only poor but of the criminal sort and therefore had been labled an out-cast early on in life even though he was basically an honest and upright person. He prized himself on his intellect and stoic atheism and was happy on his own.

 One day while out walking he tripped and feel over a ravine into a lake and began to drown. He called and called for help but no one came to rescue him. He resigned to his sad fate and struggled less and less to rise to the top. He did at that moment consider calling on God, should he exist, and ask for His divine help in this most horrible ending. He thought that if he where going to call upon a God He did not serve in life, and if he where going to ask the God of the universe for help he should at least present himself well and asked God to forgvie him of his sins and make him pleasing and acceptable in Gods sight. He asked God in that moment to forgive him and if he was not going to send him help would he please forgive him and accept him into heaven. He continued to call out for help but was surprisingly at peace with his situation.

 Five local men out fishing walked up to the lake and witnessed this man in distress.

The first man was the town doctor and he quickly said, " Dont bother yourselves good men, I've seen this type of poor low life many times and his quality of life is such that we would be doing him a favor to let him die". I just hope that he has a will and has set his affairs in order because to bury him will be cumbersome without directives. If I could be so bold as to ask for his his verbal ok for his organs before he drowns then his life will have some importance, after all, and I could make a fortune from his organ procurement". No sense in letting this opportunity slip away and  called to the man to ask the man for his verbal consent for organ donation.

 The second man was the town sheriff and he quickly assessed the situation and said it would be far to time consuming to help this man. Besides the sign clearly says, " NO SWIMMING" and any moron could read that sign and so he deserves what he gets! If I went out there I would be breaking the law and that would not look good. Not to mention that to swim out there I would risk ruining this new uniform and then there is the hour or more of paperwork involved not to mention the cost of equipment and man power when I call this into the department. I know this mans family, crooks and scum, and if he is anything like them he is not worth the trouble. "Let him be" and we will all agree that we did not see him until it was too late.

 The thrid man was the local Rabbi and he said, " Far be it from me to break mans law by swimming out there and  Gods law by touching an unclean person. Dare I sin to save such a man and risk my own life?" God forbid!

 The fourth man was the town scholar, cruelest of all and bad to the bone, and no one was aware of his sordid secret life because of his ability to hide it from the world.  He had graduated with honors because his sense of self was in the praise he acclaimed for himself at the university of, " I'm better than you because I'm smarter than you, school of thought". "This man is dumber than dirt" , he said, "and the gene pool will be better off without him throwing off the IQ curve". I dont have time for this and the effort will not be worth it to me. Unless he has something I want and can get if I help him. No, he is as poor as he is dumb and he has nothing of value to me in this life so pray he will have a better life in the here-after.

The fifth man was a priest and he simply took out his fishing pool and cast it in the mans direction landing it nicely atop his shoulder and reeled him in. " What a catch !" The poor hermit was so grateful and asked the priest why he helped a protestant. "God called me to be a fisher of men, not a fisher of Catholics", he said. The two men lived out their lives in peace and in service to God. The priest to his flock and the hermit poured himself into scripture reading and service to God. At the end of time the six men stood before God and the books of "deeds to man" was read and each where called to give account of their lives to God.

 The doctor said I have saved lives and earned a lot of money of which I gave much to charity.  God asked him, "Did you help the drowning man asking you for help?" The doctor said, " No." God answered then, "Depart from me". Completely baffled that God did not see the good he had done in life but cared only for the poor hermit that noone cared for more than anything he had accomplished in life, he shook his head in utter disbelief and confusion.

 The sheriff stood before God and God asked him why he did not help the drowning man asking him for help. The sheriff said," I did the world a favor when I did not help him and hoped to rid the world of one more worthless scum" The sheriff knowing he was wrong in what he did, cried hard and long. But God said, "Depart from me".

 The Rabbi did not wait for God to ask him why he did not help the drowning man but answered him straight away saying, " If I had only known how much the man meant to you God I would have helped him. Why didnt you tell me to help him?". God replied, " Who are you? I do not know you, leave this place" and the man left brokenhearted.

 The scholar just turned his back on God because he did not believe in Him. The scholar said, ' I will never listen to  you and I will never obey you". Instantly he turned to dust and his spirit died and his soul went immediately to hell.

 The four men where cast into the lake of fire which burns forever and sorrow unspeakable never left them.

 Then God called the Catholic and the Protestant to Him. To the protestant God said, "You have washed yourself in the blood of the Lamb of God and are worthy to enter heaven". The protestant entered his glorious place of rest and drank forever from the crystal lake in Gods heaven. The Catholic stood before God and he heard the words he had waited for his whole life. " WELL DONE " " HEAVEN AWAITS  YOU" and he too sipped the refreshing, renewing, life giving water from the crystal lake in Gods heaven, forever. The two men, joined other believers, and swam in the crystal lake anytime they wanted.

PS GOD BLESS ISRAEL! AND ALL THOSE WHO SERVE GOD WITH ALL THEIR HEARTS AND TRY THEIR BEST TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT. NO ONE IS PERFECT EXCEPT GOD AND HIS SON JESUS.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HAVING MONEY AND HAVING RICHES. BY GL

The other day I went shopping at my favorite grocery store and after the checker had rung up all my food I noticed I could not find my check book. I looked everywhere in my purse but it was missing. I made a mental picture of all the places I had been prior to shopping and it made me cringe to think that it could be at any one of those places. I asked the checker to wait while I went out to my car hoping to find it laying on the seat or floor board. It was not. I went back inside after checking my coat pockets, my purse several times, my walking path, nothing.

 I asked the kind checker to pull my groceries aside and had my family wait while I drove home to get my back up check book. I came back and got my food and felt a little embarassed but mostly worried about what could have happened to and knew if I did not locate it I would have so much work to do to stop my account etc. I was not looking forward to any of that so when we got home we all searched frantically for it. After searching a while my family asked me if I had prayed about it.

 I was sad to say that I had not so we stopped right then and there and prayed. I walked into my living room and I noticed my Bible sitting there and I thought it cant be in there, could it? So I looked and sure enough in the sleeve of my Bible cover was my check book. I must have mistakenly placed it in there when my Bible sat next to my purse in the car. We praised the Lord!

That was such a relief and then it hit me. My family and I have never had enough money, even when we did we would tell you it was never enough. Money is like a fire that just screams out for more. But Gods riches, His love, His answers to prayers, His gifts of our family and friends, Gods wisdom and Gods Word, Gods messages every day to us in His Word that He reigns in this world are far more valueable than money! Today I learned the value of money vs the riches of Christ, the one we work and work to get and its never enough and the other we have more than we could ever use and dont deserve any of it.

My family and I may not have money but my family and I have something better; riches in Christ.

Sharing some interesting facts I got in Sunday School regarding our founding fathers:

 Alexander Hamilton said, " I have a tender reliance on the mercy of hte Almighty; through the merits of the Lord Jesus Christ. I am a sinner. I look for Him for mercy; pray for me" last dying words July 12, 1804

 Patrick Henry said, " This is all the inheritance I have to my dear fmaily. The religion of Christ will give them one which will make them rich indeed" written in his will Nov. 20, 1798

 John Adams said, " Suppose a nation is some distant region would take the Bible for their only Law Book, and every member should regulate his conduct by the precepts there exhibited...What a paradise would this region be!" our second President.

 Abraham Lincoln said, " It is fit and becoming in all people ,at all times, to acknowledge and revere the Supreme Goverment of God; to bow in humble submission to His chatisment; to confess and deplore their sins and transgressions in the full conviction that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; and to pray, with all fervency and contrition, for the pardon of their past offenses, and for a blessing upon their present perspective action." speech declaring a national day of prayer

 George Washington said, It is the duty of all nations to acknowlede the Providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and to humbly implore His protection and favor" Oct. 3, 1789 proclaiming a day of prayer.

 David Webster said, "If we abide by the principles taught in the Bible, our country will go on prospering and to prosper; but if we and our posterity neglect its instructions and authority, no man can tell how sudden a catastrophe may overhwlem us and bury all our glory in porfound abscurity."

 Benjamin Franklin said, " We have been assured , Sir, in the Sacred Writings, that except the Lord build the House, they labor in vain that build it. I firmly believe this; and I also believe that without His concurring aid we shall succeed in this politcal builing no better than the builder of Babel." Constitutional Convention 1787

 Thomas Jefferson said, God who gave us life gave us liberty. And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis , a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are a gift of God?That they are not to be violated but with His wrath? Indeed, I trembel for my country when I reflect that God is just; that His justice cannot sleep forever' 1781

 AMEN AND AMEN!!

"Signs do accompany those who believe" by GL


I write this story to remind fellow believers that God has promised to be with us and to help us and to give us the victory if we don't give up and to remind them of this I remind them of the day we witnessed a sign from heaven. I write this true story so that others will know that God does give us confirmation that He is with us and every so often heaven reaches down to us to let us know that they are shouting...YES! And its done in such wonderful magnificent ways that one can only say that God Himself has done this. This yes story is just one time that I have seen the hand of God reach out and support His children.

Since coming back to God in 1998 I have thrown myself at different times into wonderful charity work and Right to Life has been a favorite of mine. While working in RTL I have seen mysterious and Godly things happen and this story is one of those times.
I was asked to march with a group of RTL Godly woman in front of a fund raiser for a local group that promotes the destruction of unborn babies so I attended this candle light march in front of this event. Not to scare anyone or cause harm to this group but to give those in attendance cause to stop and rethink what it is they are supporting. While marching these lovely woman prayed, as did I, but I esp. enjoyed hearing their prayers for the unborn and for all people.
The local event happens every year and it always has a decent attendance and usually raises quite a bit of money and this night was no different in that respect. It was however going to be different in a totally different way. They had brought in art work to auction off and this was not a new concept for them and does really well along with the dinner ticket sells. I watched people go in and out for several hours as I walked and prayed and sometimes spoke to the patrons to ask them if they really were aware of all that this dinner would be doing and how it would undermine parents supervision and direction of their youth and corrupts them, in my opinion. I did not get much of a response and that was fine. I was however very alarmed at the numbers of people who claimed to be Christians that attended this event and was perplexed at why they would do such a thing. I support RTL not to be judgemental of anyone who does not support RTL or anyone who has had an abortion but to support the voice of the unborn baby who is not given a choice in abortion and I feel is a living soul worthy of respect and protection even if its brain cells are not fully developed.
The march went well and I had a great time even though it was freezing cold. I loved to see the glow of the Holy Spirit on the faces of the woman I marched with that night and I truly felt the Spirit of God was with us and would find out that in fact He most certainly was! We marched for several hours and then elected to call it a night. The leader of this soon to be annual candle light march was a true inspiration to all of us and this march has grown from us three the first time to well over twenty and still growing.
The next day when I was reading the newspaper they had quite a write up on the fund raiser and not too much on the marchers but that was not the reason we did this march. I looked at all the photos they had on display at the auction inside and when I saw this one particular photo I about feel on the floor. The photographer had taken the picture of a portrait of a surfer on the waves of some ocean side but from the angle that it was taken the portrait was just inside the doorway arches that we were marching outside of and you could even see the outside view from the photo and the most amazing thing showed up it was an image that appeared within the photo that nearly caused me to fall over. The image that was so obvious was that of a Madonna and child. I looked and looked at the photo and it was indeed the portrait of a surfer but the image it portrayed at that distance and in the door frame we were marching at was most definitely the sign of Mary and a baby.
Now some of my Catholic friends may not agree with me but God was letting us know and anyone else that viewed that photo that Yes he was with us and and Yes were did the right thing. I leaped and took the photo to another marchers house and she and her husband also agreed it looked like a Madonna too. We praised the Lord. Now I don't care if this story moves you it was more for the encouragement of those who are standing up for what is right in this life because whether you believe it or not we will all be accountable for what choices we make in heaven. Today God is calling all of us to make Godly choices and to stand strong in those choices knowing we are doing the right thing and God will bless us for it!

PS Home school or private school your children and know what they are being taught and thereby teach them right values with higher standards!

A POEM TITLED " NO AMOUNT"  BY GL

"No amount" was written for anyone who thinks that doing good makes you qualified for heaven, or that doing bad doesnt matter to God.

No amount of money can clean a guilty conscience, no matter how you try to spend it away.

No amount of time will remove a sinful stain, not ten thousand years or a single day.

No amount of repairing a thoughtless wrong done, though you try, will ever make it the same.

No amount of covering up an evil deed done in secret will make it disappear, though you may feel disconnected to it's shame.

No amount of lying can change a dot of truth, its not gone even if you dont care.

No amount of work can disguise what color your heart is on the inside because the realness of life is always there.

The only one who can take away the sins of the world is Jesus Christ. There is no other name, under heaven, by which man can be saved. No amount of guilt, sin, wrong, evil, shame, or lies can seperate us from the love of God which is in His only son Jesus Christ. If we confess and repent, because confession is not enough to remove sin, we must repent, which is a true spiritual awakening that only the Holy Spirit can give you, and trust God that His plan of salvation through Jesus is all we need. Because we could not pay any amount to gain heaven.

No amount is required to believe that God alone paid our price and no amount of hurting Gods people will stop His glorious plan of salvation! 

      Poem, " No amount" by GL

 If it werent for Millie I would be still living in sin and dead spritually and she was a gift from God! How can I not love God, even after all Ive been through, because of her example I can say to you with all my heart that no matter what you are facing, no matter what you have gone through in your life, Jesus wants you to come home to him, Today! Im not kidding you when I say that no matter what you have done in life, no matter how much pain you have suffered or how angry you are at God for letting these things happen or how hateful some of these people have been to you, nothing can seperate you from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. He fixed her car, He fixed her roof, He fixed her broken heart every day of her life. I witnessed that and I can tell you today that she was right...Jesus is all you need. You may have wants and desires and things you think are so important that you couldnt live without them only if you let them go you will find out that He is all you really need in life.

Favorite short poem by Helen Steiner Rice

GOD, GRANT US HOPE FAITH AND LOVE

Hope for a world grown cynically cold

Hungry for power and greedy for gold..

Faith to believe from within and without

There's a name-less fear in a world of doubt

Love that is bigger than race or creed;

To cover the world and fulfill each need..

God, grant these gifts To all troubled hearts

As the Old year ends And a new years starts

By Helen Steiner Rice from her book titled, " Lovingly"



Inspired by her poem I add to it mine. Mine is more of a little dilly really not much of a poem, per say, but a few tantilizing thoughts thrown your way!

Hope that a better world will arise when

Long standing disagreements are turned to a compromise

Faith in God some snear is fantasy , a freak show, a poor mans trifle

And continue to oppress the weak assuming as if they could faith stifle

To love even those who hate us so would sooner be

Impossible if it were not for the God we know

No matter the year, no matter whats said,

Be happy in what the Bible says lays ahead

For all of those he calls his own and read the signs and you will know

Things are no longer status quo I believe we are entering the first woe

If not for God who gives us grace and a confident assurance we too would go

Where none toil, or laugh or sing a song which lies just below

So say it loud , say it often and say it for as long

As it will need to be for us to hear to Trust in God, and be strong

I think this year will see some good and then also will be unique

Things we have learned and the faith we have shared others will seek

The plans of God will prevail while those of men will come to nil

And through it all we smile to heaven because our God, as Always, reigns still


BY GL

 IMAGINE THAT, BY GL  For my children and my best friend Deb.

Imagine that God loves you so much that He sees you praying and scared and reaches down to take the Bible you so tightly hold onto because it offers some feelings of safety and replaces it with the Living Word, Himself.

Imagine that God loves you so much that even though the person on your right and on your left are cursing you that in that moment His touch lights up your heart and spirit and your face glows with His love.

Imagine that God loves you so much that every wrong turn taken, every bad decision made, every dark road you take in life still brings you back to Him.

Imagine that God loves you so much that even the staunchest, most educated, severely adament atheist starts to believe there is a God because of His love for you.

Imagine that God loves you so much that despite all manner of hardship and troubles, even poverty or disgrace He crowns you with a crown bearing the words "mercy" and "love" and at that moment evil strong-holds, satonic powers and principalities fall like leaves on your right and left.

 IMAGINE THAT!

Jesus is our Joshua! He saves us praise His name!

I AM SHARING WITH YOU SOME OF MY DIARY TO MY CHILDREN. I HOPE IT ENCOURAGES YOU IN YOUR WALK WITH THE LORD.

TO MY DARLING FAMILY JUST THINGS I HAVE LEARNED ALONG THE WAY AND HOPE THAT BY SHARING THEM WITH YOU THAT IT WILL SPARE YOU PAIN AND SUFFERING.

I call it , " Advice from Mom" by GL

1.Protect all women and children.

 When you protect the weakest, whether they are deemed by society as worthy or not,  then God Himself protects you! This is proven over and over again, just read the papers the opposite is also so very true.Our God so reigns, even here! Its too bad that those exploiting our children in public shcools for illegal and immoral reasons dont realize that they are sowing seeds that all of us here in America will one day reap. Indeed we are reaping in public what our leaders have been doing in secret!

2. Tell the truth.

 Those who are lying want to trip you up and make you to lie too, it makes them feel better to bring one of us down to their level.  Just keep going! God looks at the heart not the outcome of what is done to us, not the pit, not the darkness, not the cruelness inflicted but our hearts. He also will judge them likewise.

 When we tell the truth we unleash the most powerful force known to exist, the power of Gods Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ! When we tell the truth MIRACLES happen. Jesus is the WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE.  Lies bring death, truth brings life ( Spiritually speaking). Do your very best to tell the truth at all times. Enjoy life, make light of it as much as possible, but always tell the truth. For this you will never be sorry.

3. Do not remove God from established instituitions and be sure God is acknowledged in all you do.

 If you do this you will have success and peace. Do not gage your walk with God on how those around you respond to your stand because we have to learn that God is trustworthy and the only way to do that is to do that.  I want you to find good Christian spouses and stay married your whole life, it benefits not just you, but your children and theirs etc and even the community as a whole is benefited.

There are reasons why God has set certain establised unions in place, such as marriage, etc and very strong reprecutions if they are torn down, rejected, or worse polluted as we are seeing with same-sex marriages. We are seeing this very thing in America right now. When you marry you are telling God and the world that you accept His terms regarding this union and if you honor them, you will not be sorry. If your spouse lets you down or cannot live up to their side try to pick up the slack and help them. If they reject Gods precepts and you then you have no choice and God has provided a way of escape, not divorce, just short term seperation. Consider it a time of prayer and rebuilding. But under no circumstance should you divorce unless infidelity played a part. If your spouse divorces you then you must pick yourself up and go on because God is still with you. Being single is not the worst thing in the world,as a matter of fact,there are so many worse things than that and there is peace and quietness in singlehood you cannot get in marriage.

4. Praise the Lord often.

 It gets hard sometimes to do that but it gives us such clean, vibrant,good mental health. It is a good thing to do. Tell someone of something good that God did or sing a song,or pray and tell Him how great and awesome He is because it feels good but it also gives health to your body. No you dont have to go around singing all the time, you dont have to carrry a cross the size of a mountain to move a mountain with a single word. You dont have to preach to see the hand of God change a persons destination in life.

5. Stand up to bullies.

 In otherwords dont be a coward because they have a powerful position, or have money, or have an vast number of supporters because its Gods Holy Spirit that uses what we say and do to cause bullies to back down not any of those things. Dont physically hurt anyone, unless its self-defense. When we back down from bullies our childen suffer the consequences. I kid you not! When we stand up to them our children have a Godly peace, that no person on earth can take away from them. Something society needs to learn quickly and powerfully for the sake of our children. It is more honest, more upright and good for all concerned when we publically denounce wrong doing and sin than to hold a love in secret.

6. Dont take illegal money or gifts to thwart justice or hide truth.

 If you do take illegal brides you will see in your lives, your childrens lives, your community, your country a proliferation of the most vile sin in all history. Are we not seeing that now? Just think about it for a minute.What of the Feds who had the two lawmen arrested for doing a good job by stopping drug dealers on the Mexico border...think about it....who profitted from that move?  I believe those two law men who did their jobs are America's hero's. In a world so perverse thank God for men like them.Think about the perverts who work with our children in our state run school systems protected by supposed law enforcers..think about it. Who profits from what they are doing? Think about corruption and how it is a yeast affecting all of us.Then remember recently the UK Police in Scottland Yard who stopped a ring of predators, as many as 5,000 on line predators or more involved, and how when terrorists attacked their airport shortly afterward how the police had the upper hand on them and noone except the 2 terrorists where harmed when their car caught on fire...think about it. Even small corruption affects many, many people. If we do the right thing then that too affects many , many [B]more[/B] people in a positive way as well, its a just a law,as sure as Newtons. Before making any decision consider its far reaching ramifications and no matter who hard it may be at the time to do what is right you wont regret it in the long run. Ask the teachers that hurt me?

7. Every minute you spend meditating on Gods precepts and His goodness whether that be in prayer, Bible reading, or good works it absolutely makes a difference.

 On this matter those who do not believe in God often make fun of Christians, saying that our prayers are useless and do nothing to change evil in this world. This is a lie. The truth is every second we spend in prayer or Bible reading is significant in ways we may not be able to see because there is a spiritual world that exists that is unseen to the human eye,correct? Everyone should have a praying mother or wife or sister. The time spent doing what you know is right is worth it, even if it doesnt feel like it. We have all seen the hand of God work at the bidding of our prayers its just a matter of acknowledment and seeing.

 8. Try not to criticise or otherwise put your spouse down in public.

 I am talking about the natural union of one man and a woman bound in Holy matrimony. I am not talking about any other psedo-unions not acknowledged by God. This does not apply when the spouse is abusive or criminal. This applies to the jokes men tell each other, the small put downs made regarding spouses in public places, the jibes, the angry stares, the pokes, the hurtful criticisms said in order to make you feel as though you fit into a group or some how make you look good in the process of making your spouse look bad. This is so hideous that it deserves to be said to you because it is also a sin. I think it breaks Gods heart and in essense spits on Him when after vowing in public to love, honor and cherish our mates that we then put them down to the very same crowds. This does not mean you stay in a violent or abusive relationship, and you most definetly report abuses, it means in a normal situation that you show some respect for your other half and realize that by putting them down you only make yourself look bad. Love your spouses and put them first as much as you can, and for this you will be very glad. There is very harsh punishment for anyone who breaks up a marriage.

9.  Never, under any circumstance engage in the arts of witchcraft, mediums, horoscopes or hypnosis, or homosexual clubs because they are demonic. Pray for these people but dont condon it, dont get involved in and dont pass if off as unimportant, stand up for what is right.

 If your club or organization practices these crafts you need to publically denouce them and cleanse yourselves from them.  To cleanse yourself stay in Gods word , go to a minister or priest, ask for prayer , do good works, have the elders at church annoint you with oil or Holy water, leave that unsafe situation. These types of organizations dont wont to let go of you so they may try to drag you back into this demonic servitude world but if you have given your heart to God and even though some of their arts are powerful and may manipulate you dont ever, ever give in to them. Contact others who have had involvement with one of these types of organizations for added assistance. Our God reigns and His power is supreme, Far above anything they can do.Read Mark Bubecks book and pray the doctrinal prayers every day. God is with you if you dont join in these practices and not if you do.

10. Laugh a lot. Its fun and life can be full of fun and funny things. Look for the fun and  you will find it!
 

 It's just plain fun. Keep up the good work. The Bible says that God laughs at our enemies...so can we.

WAS THAT YOU JESUS? BY GL

The other day several deer crossed a four lane busy road and all traffic stopped and man nor beast were hurt. I looked at the car next to me and we smiled at one another. Was that you Jesus?

The other night I was praying and looking up at the night sky and it seemed as though the stars shone brighter that night. Was that you Jesus?

The other day my family sat down at the piano and played a glorious christian song and I started to cry because I realized that this was something I had hoped for a very long time. I sat down and sang with them. Was that you Jesus?

It was a long day caring for my patient and they needed someone to hold their hand and help them through their pain and sorrow. As they closed their eyes they smiled at me and said thank you. Was that you Jesus?

The other day I felt so alone here and tired and a kind man held open the door for me. Was that you Jesus?

The other morning I was thinking about a new day dawning and the most spectacular sunrise happened that morning and as I stood in its amazing wake I thought of you Jesus. Was that you Jesus?

The other day my family said something that made me laugh so hard I kissed their forehead and thanked them for being my family. Was that you Jesus?

 My family could not find a shoe the other day and we prayed and asked for your help and then we found it. Was that you Jesus?

The other day I had one of those horrid headaches and when I called out your name and asked you to help me it went away. And as I thought to myself,was that you Jesus , I felt you say....THAT WAS ME!

Thank you Jesus for all the wonderful things you do in my life.

WAS THAT YOU JESUS BY GL-

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HAVING MONEY AND HAVING RICHES. BY GL

The other day I went shopping at my favorite grocery store and after the checker had rung up all my food I noticed I could not find my check book. I looked everywhere in my purse but it was missing. I made a mental picture of all the places I had been prior to shopping and it made me cringe to think that it could be at any one of those places. I asked the checker to wait while I went out to my car hoping to find it laying on the seat or floor board. It was not. I went back inside after checking my coat pockets, my purse several times, my walking path, nothing.

 I asked the kind checker to pull my groceries aside and had my family wait while I drove home to get my back up check book. I came back and got my food and felt a little embarassed but mostly worried about what could have happened to and knew if I did not locate it I would have so much work to do to stop my account etc. I was not looking forward to any of that so when we got home we all searched frantically for it. After searching a while my family asked me if I had prayed about it.

 I was sad to say that I had not so we stopped right then and there and prayed. I walked into my living room and I noticed my Bible sitting there and I though it cant be in there, could it? So I looked and sure enough in the sleave of my Bible cover was my check book. I must have mistakenly placed it in there when my Bible sat next to my purse in the car. We praised the Lord!

That was such a relief and then it hit me. My family and I have never had enough money, even when we did we would tell you it was never enough. Money is like a fire that just screams out of more. But Gods riches, His love, His answers to prayers, His gifts of our family and friends, Gods wisdom and Gods Word, Gods messages every day to us in HIs Word that He reigns in this world are far more valueable than money! Today I learned the value of money vs the riches of Christ, the one we work and work to get and its never enough of the other we have more than we could ever use and dont deserve any of it.

My family and I may not have money but my family and I have something better; riches in Christ. The college and kotexes, meaning evil sexually immoral men can never take that away!!!!!!!!!!!!

God is answering prayers like crazy these days. How could I have ever left GOD?

 I title this one, " The right road, the right choice, the right blessing" by GL

 For several weeks at different days of the week at approximately the same morning hour while at work having my morning coffee I have heard the cry of a child. Not a soft cry but a wailing distressful cry that has brought me to my feet several times in search of where it is coming from and who could be doing this crying. The first time I heard it my empolyer and I looked at one another and he said to me, " Did you hear that?". I immediately jumped up and looked out the window thinking this cry was coming from a passing car. But nothing was there. While the screaming was brief it was extememly loud and filled with sadness and terror. This happened twice maybe three times in one week. One day it happened and I ran outside and looked in the back yard and saw a young boy on his bike down the alley way and wondered was he the one crying so loudly. I prayed and went about my work.

 The following week it happened again, and on one of these occassions I ran out a different door and spotted the same boy running past the house screaming his heart out. I said " little boy whats wrong, do you want me to call 911?" To my surprise he stopped crying and I could see these huge crocodile tears running down his face and his red cheeks told the story of his frantic and distressful situation. He said , " MY MOMMY LEFT ME, MY MOMMY LEFT ME!"

 I looked up to heaven and said to God, "stab me in the heart, it would feel less painful!". I told the boy to tell me what he meant? But he became silent and withdrawn. I said to him, " Can I pray for you little boy?" And again I was surprised he did not run away but put his head down. So I began to pray, with a broken heart of a mother who knowns all to well the importance of a mother in a boys life, I prayed and said, God let this boy ( I then stopped and asked him what his name was so I could use it in my prayer but also so I could report it to authorities and maybe help him further, he told me his name and I resumed my prayer for him including his name in place of boy) Let ....know that You love him God, let ....know that his parents love him.....let him know lots and lots of people love him and care about him and dont want to see him crying and upset, In Jesus name, AMEN. It brought back so many memories for me....The college abuse....what Tim & Paul said to other students including myself in class such as no one loved us....all to break us down..... It brought back such memories about my own sons and how after the college did hypnossis on me I was dead inside and only thought of my own needs forgetting those of my own families needs.. that I cried out to God for help, for me and this boy and then for my own sons!!! Please let them know they are loved.

 Why do the boys of America cry out to me? I think its because I have a mothers heart and so unlike the teachers at Yuba College I help them!!!!! I called the police and gave them the boys name and told them what had been happening for several weeks and what the boy said. I called the school and told them next. I then looked up the name of the boy who lived on this block and told his mother.

The right road. The boy ran past a lot of houses and several roads to get to school but it was God who brought me to him. Why didnt anyone else see if he was alright?

The right choice. The choice to get involved was the right choice and even if it makes me look bad or as if I am nosey is not important what is important is the outcome was good because I spoke out.

The right blessing. I have seen this boy since the police intervened ( they spoke to him at school that day and I spoke to his mother too, so between the both of us we helped this boy and his family ) and he looks happy and calm now when he passes by, when he does he looks great.

 What Yuba College and those involved in the targetting of me and my family did will bring a curse on them ( isnt California seeing that curse every day, just read their newspapers, they are indeed cursed!) but this day a blessing ran past my work and I grabbed hold and accepted this little angels blessing to me!!!

 I will follow the calling God has laid upon my heart to help save the children from California and those who would hurt them at schools! God is good and what has happened to me is helping alot of poeple.

 My book goes out to prisoners today, to college students and to Californians with the blessing of God with each one. AMEN!!

I dedicate this story to Marge Smith, a servant of God and a beautiful Christian woman. Titled, " In His Service Again" By GL

When I was a young mother I lived in rural Northern California and I had a good life in the country, a good family, a beautiful home. I was a Christian mother, wife, sister, friend and I was very happy.God was with me and my family and love filled my heart and my home. I had the routine of getting my family up and going and then sitting down to have my hot tea and devotion and prayer time with God every morning. Sometimes I would get up extra early and have this time before my family was up but most the time it was after they where up and going. I loved this time in the morning not just because of the peaceful quiet but also because of the sunrise and the feeling in the air during that morning hour, it was surreal and Godly. It was the time of my day that was spirituallly refreshing and it set my attitude for the day on others and not myself. It built me up in the Word and it softened my mind and my heart toward God and most of all it put a smile on my face all day. I cherished this time with God more than anytime of my day.

This time of the day was special because my house faced the east and the sunrise came into my livingroom via my kitchen window every morning. My livingroom had rust colored carpeting and the combination of golden sun light on my rust carpet made the whole room glow! It was a sight to behold. On the wall above my fire place hung a slice of bark from a large tree and on it was painted the picture of Jesus praying at the garden of Gethsemane, he was kneeling at the rock. It was a very special gift from my husband to me for one of my Birthdays. I loved this bark picture of Jesus. More than having him on my wall in my livingroom, Christ was in my heart and that alone made me a living taberancle.

One particular morning I had sat down on the floor in front of my couch, my usual routine, and begin to pray. But I stopped and said this instead, " I dont want to ask you for anything today God" .Even though I had a lot to ask for myself I decided that I wanted to do something for him. So I told him so and said in prayer, "Let me do something for you today". I had nothing I could do for God, does anyone?. I had no money. No idea of what I could do so I asked him to show me what to do.

The phone rang at that moment and Marge Smith a lovely Christian woman from our church was on line when I picked up the phone. " Hi Marge", how are you?", I said. She said this to me after a few introdutory pleasantries," I cant find anyone to clean the church today. I have asked everyone and they all say they cannot because of one reason or another. So you are my last hope, will you clean the church today?" I could have dropped the phone right then." Marge", I said to her, 'I was just praying and I just told God I wanted to do something for Him today and then you called". I think my answer to you should be Yes! We both agreed that God wanted me to clean His church and so I did!

I drove to the church and went inide the sanctuary where the glow was still filtering from the east side of the building into the stained glass windows and the glow there was even better than at my house. I just stood there for a moment in Gods house in His sanctuary feeling the presence of God in my life. What a privildege to serve God, not a dead God, not a fake God, not wanna be God, the real, true, living God of heaven. Does life get any better? I dont think so.

You can know Him as intimately as I do, and have a personal relationship with Him that supercedes anything you have ever known on earth. It is not physcial, it is spiritual, it is not science fiction, it is real. It is not some mental disorder, or some emotional crutch. It is the creator of our universe in communion with us, in the spirit. His name is Jesus. I wish you Jesus today. I have nothing else to give you but Him. That my friend will be all you will ever need in this life! Everything else will pale to Him and everything else that is good in your life is just secondary frill to your life, God is the main course!

So Marge, who is now in the arms of her Lord Jesus," I am in His service once again, Marge". Praise God!

BY GL Given to my brothers and sisters in Christ who are at this moment in the fight of their spiritual lives. I have read the last page of Gods book. We can smile.

  And tell you , my brothers and sistes in Christ, that I found a way to stand up to them, to regain my first love which was Jesus/God in heaven, and that way is JESUS CHRIST. There is no other way to get out of this society. If you call on the Lord He will help you.

It is a sin against the Lord to do hypnosis on anyone, for any reason, at any time by anyone.

It is a sin against the Lord to join secret societies that use power, infullence, and fear tactics against your life, your families lives, your businesses in order to persuade you to join them.

It is a sin against the Lord to practice homosexuality.

It is a sin to not tell them the truth and to stand by and watch, or know of it happening and not respond, and to not do something to stop those that do hypnosis on students or use these secret socities to hurt people or who are living in homosexuality.

IF YOU HAVE DONE ANY OF THESE THINGS CALL ON THE NAME OF JESUS AND HE WILL SHOW YOU THE WAY OUT!!

There was a time when I was a young married mother and Christian that my husband got me a job working on a farm sorting walnuts. He was so kind to me wasnt he? I did the job and the farmers son was my age and absolutely gorgeous. He always came up to me on breaks and chit-chatted with me. Did I mention he was gorgeous? I did not have a car so my darling husband drove me there and I would get a ride home from one of the other female migrant workers. For some reason this good looking man started offering me a ride home. He did this for many,many days. I started to enjoy this attention. I always said no and the tempation to accept grew each day he asked me. I was falling for this good looking man an inch at a time. I brought my Bible to work to help me stay focused on my committment to God and my husband and it helped me. But finally one day I could not take it any more and I prayed to God saying, " God you know that I am being tempted and I am most tempted and I have remained faithful to you and my husband because that is what I want to do so please help me now. I cant take it anymore and then I told God that that if this man asks me again to give me a ride home I will accept his offer and any other offer he may make to me. I was serious! I went to work the next day and eagerly waited for him to ask me for a ride home. He did not. As a matter of fact he never did again. That is how my glorious and wonderful God works. He does not allow us to be tempted above that which we are able to handle...I know! While I have never cheated on my  husband physically during our marrige while we were married I did entertain the idea for a smideon of time. But God is FAITHFUL! He made a way of escape and I took it!!!! Trust Gods word, it is true, I tell you, it is true.

Note: The gorgeous young man in my story was just being kind to me and I do not mean to imply he was anything less than respectable and never implied anything differently. He was very honorable in his intentions as was I. This temptation was used because it is my weakness, I love men, always have and always will, and the test was my own temptation and had nothing to do with him but me only. Whatever your temptation in life is that is what Satan will use but I assure you that Gods word is true and He will make a way to escape, just ask Him and then take it!

This is being written it is the story of the day my husband saved a womans life. I call it, " CHRIST GOES IN OUR PLACE" BY GL.

 There was a time after I witnessed the murder of a 17 yo man at the hands of a practicing  homosexual trying to rape him that our lives where peaceful and content. We did not understand that soon our lives were going to be turned upside down in many ways. We did not know that several years after the murder the California legislators would try and pass legislation to protect homosexual teachers but they did and we did did not know that the murder we witnessed would have such profound repercutions for years to follow.

 I wrote my congressmen when I heard of the legislation to protect homosexual teachers and I told them about the murder I witnessed, I told them about my two beautiful sons, I told them my church.  It was shortly after that we begain to get phone calls as many as 40 per day with no one the other end. Trash in our yard after church. Other strange things that happened to us during those years. I can tell y ou that I have experienced Californias hypocritical tolerance movement to protect homosexuals and they will stop at nothing to force us to accept homosexuality as normal, even hypnosis on our children in schools. I will never accept homosexuality, I care about those trapped in its clutches, but I will never condon it as normal and any God fearing, God serving people will not either.

 Did I ever tell you that on the day my husband saved two womans lives that I was suppose to go to help this elderly lady that I had been helping for about a year, she attened our church, but I had forgotten about another obligation so I asked my husband Terry to go in my place. This is how God works my brothers and sisters in Christ. Had I gone, all three of us would no doubt be dead today. You see when my husband Terry got there to help my elderly friend from church, her daughter came to help her also and while they were in the process of moving my elderly Mrs. Roberts, her psychopathic retired military son showed up and attacked this frail ninety year old woman and her daughter, his sister, with a baseball bat. My husband happened to turn the cornor in time to see him holding down his sister and hitting  her repeatedly. My husband saved  their lives when he attacked this man in self defense, and in defense of someone else. By the way this is not violence in Gods eyes when we attack for purposes of self protection or of protection of others unable to for themselves. He was deemed a town hero! That is how my God works! Can you say, even if you have saved the lives of many people as a doctor that you were ever crowned your towns hero? No you cant, because you are not doing your saving to help someone else less fortunate, if you were risking your own lives doctors to save someone else then you would never have allowed me to be hypnostized and attacked as I was in California. There will be a day of reckoning when those who sat by and watched me be attacked will be given their reward too. It will be the opposite of my husbands reward.

 You may not understand but my husband represented the head of our home and the Bible says he symbolically represents Christ as head of the family or head of the church. Gods family is the church which sysbolically represents the Bride, or wife. Jesus Christ put his life in the churches place, in our place ,the day he was nailed to the cross to save the church. He went in my place, in your place, that day. He overcame the darkness of this world just as my husband overcame Vernon Roberts. And just as my husband was deemed, " MAN OF THE YEAR" by his home town Jesus is crowned, ' LORD OF LORD AND KING OF KINGS. Jesus will be our," MAN OF THE YEAR", OF THE WHOLE WORLD FOREVER. When we are given such a great salvation how can we not praise the Lord!

 This salvation is free for anyone who believes and is called according to the will of God. Yes even those who attacked me if they repent and come to Jesus will be saved. When you are saved  you dont have the desire to live that past life, you earnestly seek the Lord and His precepts, you desire nothing but to please God and will find in doing so that life really starts. New life in Christ, its real. I know its real.

By GL Carpenter

  I dedicate this story to all mothers but especially to Barbara C. whose gift from God, Jeffrey, was stolen from her when two practicing homosexuals brutally raped and killed her son. One was a Nambla member and the ACLU defended him and his lifestyle even after he said in court that Nambla inspired this brutal rape of a gift of God in heaven . I call it, GETTING OUR SONS BACK SOME DAY"

This story is written so that all people will know how sacred life is and how special Gods great continum of life, pregnancy, is and what a blessing to be a woman and be a part of that great plan.

 I do not think there is a time in a womans life that she is closer to the heart of God than when she is pregnant. I base that obviously on my own personal experience. Have you ever considered that we are allowed to be a part of Gods great plan  when he created life and that every life from that time on is only a part of His great continum of life. Amazing isnt it? Have you ever considered that when two people, a man and a woman, become one in Holy Marriage and because of Gods great plan that their union results in the woman becoming two seperate people through pregnancy? Two becoming one so that one could become two. God is indeed too marvelous for words.

 Why I believe that God is never closer to the heart of a woman than when she is pregnant is simply my own experience and that began with my first born son. When I was pregnant with my first born son I was your typical nervous mother because even though many woman had gone before me in child birth all their advice and information did not ease my anxiety. I knew what to expect clinically but not actually and it fills  your heart with anticipation and fear.There however is a certain comfort, a certain peace, about not knowing what to expect when that experience is painful that you possess as a new first mother that insulates you from that anxiety to a certain degree. God was so good my labor was only a few hours long and what a special gift my son was to me. I named him after his father and his great great grandfather whom he would never meet but I had told him face to face that my child would be named after him, and so he was to carry his great great grandfathers name.

 During my ninth month of pregnancy my mother-in-law had taken me to a rest home to see her ailing grandfather Elisha Aaron Brooks. He was in pretty bad shape when we arrived and we where told by the nursing staff there that he was in his last days. My mother-in -law left to go and speak to the medical staff and as I stood there in the room of a man I was meeting for the first time that was my husbands great grandfather I reached out and held his hand. I had not picked out a name for my son yet and as I held his hand I realized that I was there for a reason that night. I did not know my childs sex, I did not know his great great grandfathers name at that moment yet I felt very compelled to tell him that I would name my child after him. As I held his hand I told him that regardless of what sex my child was I would find a way to name my child after him. It made me feel good to know that even though we had never met formally and he was nonverbal at the time that maybe he could hear me and know that his great great granchild may never know him or get the chance as I was having to met  him but would carry his name. I left there that night knowing I was there for a reason to pass the torch from one generation to another. Isnt pregancy wonderful that way? The blood of one family member continues inside all that persons relatives, forever. Gods great continum of life. His creation that continues, perfectly, today.

 With my second pregnancy I was petrified beyond words. I had experienced the most horrific pain a woman can know physically and had survived it and was now going to face it again. My anxiety was far worse the second time around than the first because I knew what to expect. So I asked God during that second pregancy for his help with the pain and the anxiety by allowing me to have some comfort in knowing some good things I could expect as well. I debated on exactly what I would ask God for because my God was with me and He loved me and I knew He would give me whatever I asked Him for if it was His will so I thought it out quite lengthy before presenting my prayer request to him. I remember praying ,  Dear GOD I am so scared of what is going to happen with this delivery would you give me these things to help allievate my fear. Please let my doctor be on duty that night. You see it was customary for my clinic that all preganant woman would take whom ever was on duty that night at the hospital and so I asked GOD to please let me have the same doctor that delivered my first son because it would give me less anxiety. I also asked for the same labor room. I know that sounds ridiculous, especially since back then there where only a couple labor rooms anyway but I felt that if I had the same labor room I would not be as scared. I debated this request for a long time and flip flopped a few times on my desire tor the same labor room versus delivery room but I rationalized that by the time I got to the delivery room I wouldnt care which of the two available rooms they put me into , the one I had the first time or the identical one beside it. I also asked for the same hospital room because it had the most beautiful grassy, shaded area of all the rooms on that side of the hospital. I cant remember the exact room number now but  I remembered back then but it was so long ago now I dont recall. One bed was called bed a and the other bed was called bed b and bed b was the window seat. I prayed this prayer my entire pregancy and it gave me such peace just to be able to ask God for these small things that meant so much to a young pregnant scared mother.

 On the day my second son was born we had gone to church earlier that day and while visiting my family I started my labor pain. Again my labor, as with all my children, was very short. A blessing for sure. When we arrived they put me in the same labor room as I had  almost two years before and immediately I praised the Lord. I looked up to heaven between contractions and said to GOD, OK I know you love me so you dont have to give me any of the other things Im not as scared as I thought I would be Lord. Thats when I heard my doctors voice in the hallway, he was a southern man and his southern drawl was very heavy and distinctive. I just looked up toward heaven and smiled and said, THANK YOU LORD. Thats enough. It must have seemed strange to hear a woman in labor praising GOD, so I explained to my husband how GOD had just answered two of my three prayer requests. He did not really get it but that was ok his comprehension of GODS mercy toward a nobody scared mother was meaningful to me only.

 When they took me into the same delivery room, the one on the right, I gasped! Even this Lord~ what a bonus. My son was a joy. After he was born they placed me in the hallway alcove for what seemed like hours coming to check on me periodically. When I asked what was taking so long the nurse said that they were preparing my room. I just could not keep from smiling! Ok GOD dazzle me! Was all I could say. I could not stop smiling as I laid there waiting for my room. I held my breath as they wheeled me down the hall and when I saw my room number above the door they were putting me into I felt inside ok but I bet I dont get the window seat....wrong....even the window seat! That my dear mothers, my dear Barbara, is how I know that God loves us and that He alone cares for what is in our hearts that noone else in life cares about but us. That is how I know God loves pregnant woman and that He is closer to us at that time in our lives than anyother time. That is how I know that life is precious to God. That is how I know that our children, their souls, are of utmost importance to God. From conception on our child have an eternal soul. Medicine says they dont have a brain, a heartbeat, they say they are only tissue but I tell you they have a soul! A soul GOD loves and knows even before we do. A soul that has the potential to serve God and be all that God desires for them to be, and no matter what they become or what happens to them they are in Gods hands as surely as he loves me he loves my children.

 I dedicated all my children to God in a church service and I put my faith in God then, as I do again today that they will be there when I see them again in heaven. This is how I know Barbara that GOD loves you and Jeffrey and because we ask GOD gives and I ask GOD to loose Jeffrey to be among the greatest in heaven AMEN! I told God many times during my second pregancy that if He would grant me these requests that I would be sure and tell others of  his great love, and now I have.

 I WILL ADD MY STORY TITLED, " MY SIGN OF JONAH" BY GL

 In the spring of 1989 I took my family camping along the Pacific coast. When we got there I started to set up the tent by myself and my family joined in to help me.  It was the first time I had ever put up a tent and I needed help to do it right. When we finished my eldest son asked if he could go sight seeing on the beach. I was not keen on the idea but he was so persistent I let him go after giving him my watch and with instructions that included being back in exactly one hour.  He was so happy and ran toward the coast.

 I finished setting up camp with my family and at exactly one hour later my son came running back into camp. He was so excieted he could barely wait to tell me about his adventure. He blurted out, " I stood on top of a whale" with a large exhale at the end. I just stood there and said, " That sounds like one of your Dads fish stories to me" at which he said, " No Mom its not like one of Dads fish stories its real". So I asked him to show us.

 We set out for the coast and as we went I asked him to take me exactly how he had gone from begining to end and so he did. We were jumping from craggy rocks in a coastal cove when he said jump over here Mom. When I did I noticed immediately that it looked different, smooth, and softer. I looked around me and I could tell I was standing on something very unusual. I jumped down to get the bigger picture when I could see it was a whale indeed! I got back on top with my family and we  looked out over the great Pacific Ocean while holding hands and standing on top of a huge grey whale. Please dont think it morbid it was truely an unique experience! How many people on this earth have had the awesome experience of standing on top of a whale?

 As we went back to camp we all relished the idea of telling this fish story to their Dad. When we got back to camp a couple in their forties arrived and had started setting up camp right next to us and we exchanged hellos and finished setting up our camp. We made a fire and roasted hotdogs and marshmellows and what a great day we had together.

 After we were snug in our sleeping bags our next door neighbor campers decided to get romantic and make all kinds of noise. I was embarassed and explained to my family that God has blessed the union between a husband and wife and what they were doing was meant to be shared between themselves and not the whole neighborhood. I got up and told my famly I would be right back and I drove my car next to their tent and turned up the radio rather loudly. It was great. It accomplished exactly what I wanted it to accomplish it drowned out the noise and it let them know they were being too loud. I waited about 10-15 minutes it seemed and then drove my car back. It was so quiet the rest of the night and in the morning the couple had left bright and early! Isnt God good? He is good.

 This was a great vacation and I did not know it would be one of the last vacations for me and my family together or I would have extended it even longer. It was a once in a lifetime event to stand on top of a whale. It was a treasure I will never forget in that we stood atop a gray Whale, we stood up to sexually indecent people, we had a great vacation. I trust God that He was with us and allowed me  to tell my children about Gods great plan for men and woman. I consider that day a great victory over what Tim and Paul did to me at Yuba College! And someday I trust God that all my children will make their public confession of faith in God alone! God in heaven reigns! He has been so good to me even when I failed Him.

 Trust in God and He will give you once in a life time experiences too and give  you victory over  your attackers as He has me. The world is full of wonderous and amazing miracles its just a matter of noticing and knowing God in heaven is real and men that are doing hypnosis on students will be punished.

When we got home we just giggled and giggled about our fish story! Something we will share for the rest our lives. So, I stand on the rock of God, Jesus Christ and look at America and say to the men of this generation may God rebuke the men who are taking advantage of our children in the public school system. God do exactly to these men what they have done to your children. Hold back nothing on them and this generation that they so thoughtlessly have done. As surely as I have stood on the back of a whale I stand now on the Rock of Ages and proclaim victory in Jesus for those they have harmed and freedom to the victims of their psycological warfare. I ask this in the name of Jesus, the only name capable of renting the veil of life and death, the only name worthy to redeem those who are lost of GOD, the only name given unto me is JESUS! I now use that name to break the spell that Satan has cast over the minds of Americans regarding homosexuality and use that name to free those it has bound in its sinful wake. Praise God in heaven for all I have gone through has only refined my faith in God! AMEN AND AMEN

GL, Servant of the only LIVING GOD OF HEAVEN.

PS THIS VIPEROUS MASONIC AND EVIL GENERATION OF MEN HAVE CONDEMNED THEMSELVES BECAUSE OF WHAT THEY HAVE DONE TO STUDENTS IN SCHOOL VIA HYPNOSIS. THEIR SEXUAL DEVIATION FROM GODS NATURAL ORDER AND THEIR REBELLION AGAINST GOD AND HIS PRECEPTS IS BRINGING ON THE NON-CHRISTIAN MEN OF THIS GENERATION OF AMERICANS GODS CONDEMNATION. I JUST GET TO BE THE ONE TO TELL YOU! I AM LUCKY. GL

TO THE CHRISTIAN MEN WHO ARE TO SCARED TO TAKE A STAND TO PROTECT THE WOMAN AND CHILDREN OF THIS COUNTRY MAY GOD ALSO DEAL WITH YOU HARSHLY BECAUSE JUST STANDING BY AND BEING A COWARD WHILE WOMAN AND CHILDREN AND THOSE WEAKER THAN YOU ARE BEING HURT IN UNSPEAKABLE WAYS IS JUST NOT SOMETHING THAT IS CONDONED.

" ABOVE THE SHADOW OF DOUBT"

Here is the story about the day my husband saved two womans lives and was awarded our small towns "Man of the Year" plaque.
It happened many years ago and Im not sure of the exact date anymore but Im sure it can be found in archives somewhere.   I will always remember the day we went to the City Hall and he received his reward, I was beaming with pride. This is how this story happened.
I was suppose to go to help Mrs. Roberts a widow who attended our church, to move from her house to a small apartment a few blocks away.But when her elder daughter called me that morning I had forgotten that I had said I would help her and had made an earlier obligation so I asked my husband Terry to go in my place. This is how God works my brothers and sisters in Christ. Had I gone, all three of us would no doubt be dead today. Terry was in the process of moving my elderly Mrs. Roberts, when he very mentally ill son arrived and apparently did not want his mother moved and attacked his elder sister, with a baseball bat. My husband happened to turn the cornor in time to see him holding down his sister and hitting her repeatedly. My husband saved  their lives when he attacked this man in self defense, and in defense of someone else. By the way, I do not think that this is violence in Gods eyes when we attack for purposes of self protection or of protection of others unable to for themselves.Terry was deemed a town hero! That is how my God works!

You may not understand but my husband represented the head of our home and the Bible says he symbolically represents Christ as head of the family or head of the church. Gods family is the church which sysbolically represents the Bride, or wife. Jesus Christ put his life in the churches place, in our place ,the day he was nailed to the cross to save the church. He went in my place, in your place, that day. He overcame the darkness of this world just as my husband overcame Vernon Roberts. And just as my husband was deemed, " MAN OF THE YEAR" by his home town Jesus is crowned, ' LORD OF LORD AND KING OF KINGS. Jesus will be our," MAN OF THE YEAR", OF THE WHOLE WORLD FOREVER. When we are given such a great salvation how can we not praise the Lord!

This salvation is free for anyone who believes and is called according to the will of God. Yes even those who attacked me if they repent and come to Jesus will be saved. When you are saved  you dont have the desire to live that past life, you earnestly seek the Lord and His precepts, you desire nothing but to please God and will find in doing so that life really starts. New life in Christ, its real. I know its real.
Edited to condense it. This is a true story. It occured in Live Oak, Ca.
