No Matter Our Circumstances

 No matter our circumstances, life is a gift.

No matter our circumstances, we must shift.

Shift to slow gear and then back into drive.

Watching each crossroad, that we make it alive.

Throwing all our cares to Him

He never leaves us hanging on a limb.

No matter our circumstances, life is gift.

No matter our circumstances, we must shift.

My Friend Jo-Ann

  November 28, 2023 1:26 pm   I just want to say I miss my friend Jo-Ann Carlton Blair, 1943-2020.  It hit me hard today about how much I do miss her.  I have called very few people friends in my lifetime, she was one of them. Jo-Ann never disappointed and never turned her back on me; she was straight forward, real, and direct with me. She and I did things together that did not include our husbands, like the time she booked us a five star hotel in Buckhead with a five course meal, then a limousine to our front row seats at the Fox Theater in Atlanta to see The Phantom of the Opera! Who does that?  When she walked into a room, everyone had to adjust to her light, for her light always shined brightly.  She most always had a gift in her hand to give to someone.  She was a great balance for me because my lips cracked when I tried to smile,  I didn't usually stretch my lips to do that.  I didn't have to do anything when she was around because she gave out the light and the warmth an

  Romans 8:32 (New King James)     Paula Day Johns He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?   It took God some time before he decided to not spare His own Son.   How long had he thought about it?   For many generations He used blood sacrifices of animals to give people a method of sin relief.   This somehow did not meet God’s approval and He wanted a better way.   I would imagine that He really did not want to look at the solution, because it would cost Him dearly.   It would require Him to offer His only Son for the salvation of mankind.   Did He get to the place that He considered mankind may not be worth it?   When He held Christ in one hand and mankind in the other, did He consider that it may not be worth it? After all, He was God, and it was God who had to be appeased for sin.   He created mankind, it was His option to do whatever He decided to do. When He began to weigh things out

I Will Stay in My Walled House Paula Day Johns

  I will stay in my walled house. No one can bother me there. In my house, I find security, comfort, and peace. No matter that there are others, Out there somewhere who may need my help. I will stay in my walled house. No one can bother me there. Do I mind if I hear the cries of others who are in sorrow? Shall I trouble myself today or shall I wait until tomorrow? I will stay in my walled house. No one can bother me there. Anxious I am about what I may find. A needy child, an addicted mother, a man who is blind. I will stay in my walled house. No one can bother me there. I will eat chocolates, and take nice hot baths, No matter to me if they have lost their paths. I will stay in my walled house. No one can bother me there. A knock on my door, I cringe at who it may be. How dare they come without a call. I peek through the window and shrink in despair. I see Jesus Christ standing there! I will not open it! I am sure He is not pleased.
