1 day agoWhere is His Word Hidden?1932Julie RansonI have always struggled to memorize scripture.I have always struggled to memorize scripture. It's frustrating because a song can come on the radio that I haven't heard in decades and I can sing along remembering every line. That being said, quite often, I can't remember why I'm staring into my refrigerator or why I walked into the other room . At 63 I'm satisfied to blame it on my age. 😊 I will never stop trying to put scripture to memory though. Thanks for your post. God bless1 min read1 min read
1 day agoAs A Christian Blogger, I Will Ignore Comments.1.2K27Grace BiancoWhat a wonderful post!What a wonderful post! I'm a Christian and have been attacked online because of my views. It's hard not to respond in kind, so like you, I have to close my laptop. The attack on Christians and our faith has reached epidemic proportions. I love the translation of John 18:15 from the Living Bible “If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first." 2 Timothy chapter three describes the America we are living in now to a tee. Jesus' return may be soon. :) Thank you for your post.1 min read1 min read

2 days agoThank You Veterans From the Bottom of My Heart2033Sungho YooWhat a wonderful tribute.What a wonderful tribute. Sadly, American schools stopped teaching about our real history decades ago. Without Covid forcing so many to homeschool, we may never have known just how horrible our schools have become. The system has been indoctrinating and not teaching our kids for way too long. I'm praying this wake-up call will change things. Instead of reading, writing, and arithmetic, our kids are being taught to question their gender and the history and statutes of the greatest country on the planet. God bless you for this post.1 min read1 min read

I can't even trim my feisty cats nails, much less slap an outfit on him. I'd love to get him a friend, but he went from sweet to mean when we added a cat to the family before we officially moved into our motorhome. Sassy, the aforementioned other cat is very happy with the people that purchased our house. The Lord works in mysterious ways. 😊1 min read1 min read

May 26Adopted Cats are Most Grateful1.3K23Karen SchwartzI rescued my boy from a rural home of a woman I met at the vet's office.I rescued my boy from a rural home of a woman I met at the vet's office. My orange tabby had disappeared, and I was at the office with our boy Dash. The woman said her dad's cat had kittens, and she needed to find homes for them. She had two orange tabbies in the bunch. Within days I had to invest $350.00 to rid my poor boy of fleas and worms. He was SO sick. I think I should remind the ornery cuss about that. I've had cats my entire life, and he's the most obstinate one I've ever had. Thanks for sharing your sweet baby with us. ❤️1 min read1 min read
