Psalm 1 gives us several characteristics of the " Blessed Man ".

Psa 1:1 ¶ Blessed [is] the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

1. He is separated from the world. He will not get his counsel from the world,
but from God and his Word.


2. The blessed man is saturated with the Word of God. verse 2

Psa 1:2 But his delight [is] in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

He reads it daily and meditates in it day and night. He memorizes it and
finds his delight there.

3. The blessed man is situated by the waters. vs 3

Psa 1:3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

He puts himself in the house of God where he will be nourished spiritually. God protects, prunes and guards him.

The ungodly are not so as we are told in verse 4. I am thankful to be a blessed woman today and will strive to remain that way!

Today may we each be separated from the world, saturated in the Word and situated by the Waters.

Many Roads to God?

The world is full of religion. Religion says there are many roads that lead to Heaven, but what does the Bible say? Jonah 2:9 tells us " Salvation is of the Lord." Notice it does not say religion is of the Lord. Gods salvation is set upon a rock and that rock is Jesus Christ.

Psa 40:2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, [and] established my goings.

1Cr 10:4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.

Jhn 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Act 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Man says this feels good i like my religion. My family has always been ......
God says: Pro 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof [are] the ways of death.

Dont trust your feelings. Believe that Christ died for your sins and repent before its too late.

to Jesus Every day

My Anchor Holds!

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing
one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. Colossians 3:16

If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
John 7:37b

At church last night one of the songs we sang was "We have an anchor that keeps
the Soul" Of course that anchor is Jesus. Pastors message brought forth that we need to be anchored in four areas, our service, our faith, prayer and the Word.

Lets put these into practice each day. Life may send its storms because the rain
falls on the just and the unjust but we do not need to be tossed to and fro for our Anchor holds!

Hbr 6:19 Which [hope] we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;

We are excited to have found tickets to go visit Rob Alaine Kierstyn and the new baby who will soon be here. All we need now is someone to take care of our rottweiler Micah.

The weather here is finally warming up and the snow is gone for which we are thankful.

Tom will soon be golfing.

Psa 27:13 [I had fainted], unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

Psa 27:14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

Isa 33:6 And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, [and] strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD [is] his treasure.

Please keep my church in prayer as we seek another Pastor. Our current pastor of almost fifteen years gave notice God is calling him to another church in Georgia.
We are sad to see him go but are trusting the Lord.

Thou Art Mine
~
When Thou passest thru the waters,
Thou art Mine!
They shall never overflow thee,
Thou art Mine!
Tho thou walkest in the fire,
And it seeketh to devour
Thou art precious in My sight, child,
Thou art Mine!
~
Everyone that's called by My name,
They are Mine!
They're created for My glory,
They are Mine!
I have chosen them to serve
And My holy name preserve.
They are precious in My sight, yes,
They are Mine!
~
I will do a new thing for them
That are Mine!
In the desert send them waters,
That are Mine!
Fear not then, for I am there,
And they path, 'twas planned with care,
For I love them, Oh, I love them
That are Mine!
~
Ruth K. Zook


Isa 43:2 When thou passest through the waters, I [will be] with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.

Praise the Lord no matter what trial we go through He will never leave us nor forsake us. Sometimes it seems like my life is one big trial with cancer constantly hanging over me but the Lord has sustained me every step of the way.

Psa 66:1 Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands:

Psa 95:2 Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms

I am giving thanks for a good report on my CT Scan. Things are continuing to improve and my tumor markers have been dropping so that they are now in the range of a healthy person.

The goodness of God endureth continually.... from Psalm 52

Just sharing a couple more family pics...



Psa 34:3 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.

Psa 34:4 I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.

We were down to Bryans last week for dinner and enjoyed some good food and time together.

Yesterday i had a CT Scan and in a few days we will find out how things are looking and if the same treatment plan will continue or the Doctor will chose to change it.
