Friends, loved ones, and all who read this blog, and care for the Left Behind series. Please take the time to listen to this. Its the biblical view on the last day and shows that the seven years of tribulation after the rapture is just a theory that the devil uses to lull us all to sleep and make us think that we will still have a chance for heaven even if we miss the rapture.
The Bible is quite clear in Matthew about the last day and warns us not to let ourselves be deceived. It will not be a silent day either. Have you ever heard the blasting sound that a trumpet makes? It also says that we will see the Lord in the air. The seven years following are not even mentioned in the Good Book!!! Please listen.
I have to admit that I've been drawn to the idea because we did listen to a much older vergan of Left Behind many long years ago.

Things I Love
Spring...
...new life, am reminded of the song...
...they remind me that God is the center of everything, or the hub. We the members of His body are the spokes and love (the rim) is what holds everything together and helps us go places.
...tears from heaven watering the earth with life.
...it is so romantic. You know how our faults kind of loose their edge, fade, and are not the focus when we love and are loved.
...Jesus is the light for our path, the Holy Spirit warms our hearts, and God gives the strength for our growth. Together the three are one like the trenity.

...My apple tree will always make me think of the fruits of the spirit and the more there are of them the more the branches bend to the will of the Father. An evergreen stays green and growing even in extreme whether. I also love a weeping willow because it humbly hangs it's branches to the earth.
...being made perfect by God.
... an invitation for fellowship.
... no matter how much sweat and tears I put into making my garden beautiful, pulling weeds, moving stuff around, and tending to make it beautiful, God just puts me to shame with the beauty of wild flowers and grasses in some ditch. He coordinates colors perfectly, just randomly delighting and decorating. This is meant in the physical sense as well as in the spiritual; just one inspiration off of a poem, and one day I'll write it.
...new life, am reminded of the song...Lord in my heart bring back the spring time
Take away the cold and dark of sin
Oh, fill me now please Holy Spirit
May I warm and tender be again.
Fall... colors..JPG)
...my friend Carmen Hathaway made the angel and it always makes me smile remembering her. It has found an interesting place and name, the tree behind it matches it's colors perfectly in the fall so I call it my fallen angel.

...our life is pretty fenced in, keeping us together, safer and protecting a bit from the predator of our souls.

Lately
I've been home for a week and really enjoyed it; made some cassettes but not enough to start selling any, just fill orders. It was wonderful to see my sisters and brothers again and my dear friends, parents, uncles and cousins. I guess it took me a while to get my head back straight.
I was glad to be able to take both boys with me because it was during the spring break. Judas had a jolly time with his double cousin and best friend Elliot; he also made a new friend that I'm all tickled about. Victor and Glenda's Dale, it looks like that family is a keeper. Some of my dearest friends are in it. :)
I have been collecting some fun quotes from little Hans.
"Self-control is to drive an airplane." That little brain goes from the fruits of the spirit to remote control.
I'm also not sure that I should be teaching my sons to turn the other cheek, of course it is the way of Jesus and I should be against violence, but what if they come in contact with one who is careless about how he treats others. Should they not even be defending themselves?? OK, wise old mothers speak up. LETS HERE FROM YOU! I guess we need not try to find a way out of obeying God's word because we think that our situation is unique, but I would like to know what and how mothers teach.

"I want to go outside for some "new fresh." That means fresh air. He's got a pretty good handle on the English language and is much farther ahead than Judas was at this age. I guess he is exposed to it a little more.
Guess what "Lampootion" is??? It's lotion, still love making him smell like a baby, but I realize lately that I can just barely hold him anymore. He's growing so big.
I have such a struggle with my sons with guns. No matter how many good words I give them there is not a toy they cannot make to perform like a gun. "Guns are for killing, boys." "God made all these things, and you want to kill them, what if we destroyed the things you make?" Might as well talk to the wall.

One thing that kind of bugs me is that some of our folks don't even know how rude and impolite whispering in public is or other manners like it. In community especially it sticks out because it makes the other person feel excluded and is hurtful. I wish our mothers would put more emphases on teaching their kids what we call "vilt manear."
