Now I need prayers for my little Mandy. Surgery to remove a tumor. Doesn’t look malignant right now. She’s an old, old dog. We love her beyond measure. Our farm is named for her ( Mandolin Ridge).

Who's in, and has a moment?

Our Father, who art in Heaven,
hallowed be thy Name,
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those
who trespass against us.
lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory,
forever and ever.
Amen.

PS: It is a request that everyone who reads and believes it, would paste it on their page. It's a World prayer assignment, a couple of minutes for the health of all the sick, weary, and heartbroken.
This World needs this more than ever. 🤍

So all my life I’ve been a Believer. I know God is there. I see Him, I feel His love, His presence. I’ve had personal miracles. Not once, but many times.

I’ve never “felt” like I’d been saved. I’ve felt like a sinner, not worthy of forgiveness. I’ve sinned against every Commandment. I could say I believed Jesus died for me, that my sins were forgiven by His death and Resurrection. But.. I couldn’t FEEL it.

Yesterday I was recalling my baptism, recounting it out loud, reliving each moment. My decision to be baptized was not my own at that moment back in 2016. I jumped up and don’t remember walking to the river, my feet were not touching the ground. The next memory I recall is giving myself over to Christ and being submerged. The water of Roanoke Creek was warm and soft. I was euphoric all day. I didn’t even want to change out of my wet clothes. I didn’t want to lose that feeling.

Fast forward to yesterday. I have been struggling to “feel” like I’ve been saved. That my name is written In the Book of Life. I struggle daily. After church service and speaking to my pastor ( who by the way, was very little help) about something else, I went home.

I started to recount, recall, relive the moments of baptism. As I was speaking, an incredible peace came over me. I FELT saved. I KNEW it.

Today I feel like I jumped onto a different road. Same direction, but different. I feel confident, content, and peaceful.

For ALL my friends. Please, get saved. At least get baptized. It may not take 7 years like me to FEEL it, but it will change you.

In an effort to move myself forward I am going to get off social media and catch up on reading and writing old fashioned letters. Please keep in touch. PM me and I’ll give you my contact info. Love you all!

Opt-out Special thanks to Larry for this legal advice… and to Tim Barker for posting this information:

Afternoon road kill!

DON’T EVER BOOK ANYTHING THROUGH PRICELINE. They are giving me the run- around refunding my rental car. I keep telling them my flight was canceled. I called the rental place but since I booked through Priceline, I have to deal with them. They keep telling me to wait for verification from the rental car place. Big SCAM.
