VERY Good Day!
Enjoyed visiting with my granddaughter Rachel and her
boyfriend, Damian. They spent the day with me, and we fiddled around and talked
a blue streak. Well, the old woman talked their legs off, to be honest. The dogs
were in dog heaven with two dog people to love on them. Sylvia did put us out
of the room once with her gas attack, but apparently this is not an uncommon
event for other folks who have dogs. Rachel said that Codi jumped up in Lance’s
lap and planted a great big blow on him! Such good fun! Giggling.
We went to IHOP this morning for breakfast and had fun
sharing each other’s food. My breakfast came with hash browns that went to Damian,
and Rachel shared some kind of cream cheese something or rooty tooty fruity
thing. Mighty tasty. Anyway, that was a pretty good start to the day. It never
even occurred to me to offer to feed them lunch, but they had to leave about
two to go to his grandparents’ place in West Texas. They said the name of the
place, but it just did not stick with me. It’s out toward Odessa and places
that Carol Thonton would know. Anyway, loved spending time with the kids!
John Rhoads brought two more bales of hay this afternoon.
Covered the pipes that drain from the sink. Stephen repaired the one that
cracked all up and down the thing, but winter is not over. We will probably get
another deep freeze before the end of February. That is what happened in 2022.
Brrr.
Got a spaghetti squash from Stephen the other day and plan
to try to save a few seeds from it to get plants started out in the long coop.
Will have to close the door to keep the girls out unless any plants are put in
the enclosed pen where chicks are raised. [And no, not raising any chicks this
year.] Hoping to start some hollyhocks and other flowers from seed this year.
Bought some snap dragons from Sutherlands on sale. Which reminds me—as Rachel
and Damian drove by Sutherlands, she told him that Sutherlands was Ma’s
favorite store. She is completely correct! May spend more money on groceries
(including things one cannot eat), but Sutherlands is much more fun!
Still slowly reading through Lehman Straus’ study on
Revelation. It takes awhile for anything to really stick with me, but some of
this stuff has been discussed by preachers for years. The mark of the beast and
who the person is that Satan will resurrect though his head has been struck—Straus
shows the numbers that coincide with the names of a few people, including
Hitler. He mentions Judas and the fact that the devil had used him to betray
Jesus. Some of this stuff is deeper than any well, but he explains that Satan
is imitating the resurrection of Christ and uses the fire from the heavens as
if he were Elijah using the flames to prove that He is the god to be
worshipped. It figures that men would fall for the imitation. But it is twice
as scary for those living in those times. He believes that the Church will be
taken up before the woes strike the earth. But there will still be those on earth
who refuse to worship Satan. Those will be sought out and killed if they don’t
starve to death first—no buying or selling without the mark of the beast.
Anyway, one of these days all of this will be easy to under-stand and compare the
lies with the truth of God. SO glad that we can know the truth right now!
Let’s pray for the farmers all over this world that they may
get rain in due season and not be flooded out! Some of us still like to eat a
meal or two each day, and without those farmers and their work, we would get
mighty hungry!
Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
