Lessons learned the first 50 years

I hit a milestone. I turned 50 years old. I am thankful that I don't feel 50.   I am thankful for things God has taught me throughout those 50 years. .  I have learned that God loves mercy and when I feel a sense that justice needs to happen over mercy, all I need to do is remember that I am thankful for when God gives me mercy instead of a just punishment.   (Micah 6:8 8 He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.) ( Luke 6: 36  Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful. ) I have learned that hurt people end up hurting people.   When I am able to see that I didn't hurt them but I am bearing the results of that persons hurt inflicted by other people, it helps me forgive whatever hurt they pushed onto me and move on.  (Romans 12 : 18  If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. )  I have learned that anyone who thinks they have God

Loose Ends...

 I am trying to catch my blog up... several things have happened that I haven't blogged about.  My mother in law had a heart cath two days ago.  They said her heart is stable.  Good news.  However, when she came home (the same day), she saw that her Westies were taken from her yard.  Please pray she gets Jade and Bennie back.
 Noah turned 14 years old.  He wanted to go eat Sushi (His daddy likes I...I do not).   He had a triple chocolate cake and went to the movies...as well as to go ride giant goKarts at a local amusement park.  Olivie', my little Pappi-poodle also had a birthday on the same day.  She is 2.  She is such a love bug.  John-Michael has been begging us to let her sleep with him and since she is a barker...and doesn't know how loud she barks...since she is deaf...we let John-Michael try it.  She is so much better at night.
 Madeline and John-Michael decided I am the worst mom ever..since I wouldn't them have  a cat as a pet... But these kittens are cute.
John-Michael had to see the eye doctor...all is well..and he got cool shades to wear for the day.

John-Michael went to a "Science" birthday party..and had a great time.


I took a photo of Ellie the Mustang and painted her (below)... I have painted 12 different paints for the art Auction that will benefit the rescue.  I hope it goes well.


I started teaching at Veritas again.  I have
such a sweet class.  Here they are dressed up...acting out how the Barbarians attacked the Romans.

Here is a painting of Honey Bun that I completed.

I also finished a shrimp boat.

I finished this buck painting.

John-Michael feed Trudy...one of the special horses at the rescue.


Madeline loved on Keylime...one of the new race horses at the rescue.

 Poor Albert.  His best friend and the one he slept with...ate with...shared a stall with... passed away this week.  Roy was a large draft horse...so gentle and kind.  He was nearly 40 years old.  Roy passed away in his sleep... on the pile of shavings right outside his stall.   Albert was curled up with Roy when they discovered Roy had passed away.  Albert stayed with his body all that day... the volunteers placed a tarp over Roy's body while they prepared a spot for him to be buried.   Albert hasn't gotten off this tarp other than to eat a little.  It has almost been a week since Roy passed away.

Roy loved to sleep in the sun.

Here he is with Noah... you can see how large Roy was.
Here is Roy from Stone Mountain from the 1980's..

And he is from 2011..at the rescue...  He will be missed.

Why does God call us sheep?

Before you jump to the conclusion that I am saying Christian are "brainless" sheep, read this post completely.  If you still aren't sure, read this post:  Are Christians brainless? Why does He call us SHEEP? ( The Bible makes reference to sheep no less than 220 times).   A few of the more notable passages that come to mind are the 23 rd Psalm, Isa. 53:6 and John 10.  There are many references to His People being sheep. So why not something more powerful, like a ram or horse? Why not something more graceful and valued, like a prized bird? Well, God chose to use the word sheep to identify His followers, as we are "His sheep." Our shepherd, Jesus, is leading the way, so let's look at the facts about sheep-the  nature of  sheep.  Let's look at the facts about sheep- *Sheep aren’t intelligent . Sheep are not known to be smart or cunning animals when it comes to safety; rather, they are susceptible and tend to wander away from the prote

The call of Fellowship

-
The Fellowship of the Believers  (Acts 2) 42  They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43  Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. 44  All the believers were together and had everything in common. 45  They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. 46  Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, 47  praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved. How cool!  God shows us in Acts the need for the church  to devote itself to  “fellowship.” What do you think about when you hear the word fellowship?   If you are a good old Baptist, you probably think of food. :)     We expect the church to ’ teaching” and  “to prayer”... but we have to equally expect fellowship.     Notic
