Splinters On The Carpenter's Floor

Super Hero. The power to surrender your life without restraint, having all the powers of the universe to beckon at a thought, but not calling upon them. Allowing yourself to be nailed to a cross and never saying 'NAILS BE REMOVED FROM MY HANDS, BLOOD STOP YOUR FLOW, WOUNDS HEAL YOURSELF AND GLORIOUS BODY BE REMOVED NOW FROM THIS SITUATION!' Super Hero indeed! Possessing more power than man has ever created, at his very whisper, Jesus power is truly what the power and God is....LOVE!… Continue

Splinters On The Carpenter's Floor

J ust trust in Him to meet your every need.
E very knee will bow and every tongue confess Jesus is King of Kings.
S earches your very thoughts to the marrow of your bones.
U ses rich and poor alike to fulfill His perfect will.
S anctifies and makes you clean and righteous before the Father.

From 'Just a Word' --Alzheimer's.

I see terror on her face and it reminds me of my panic attacks. I stay close to her, letting her know she’s not alone. I’ll always be there for her. I’m no doctor, but I know what she feels, I’m living with her 24/7. She’s never out of sight.

Lately she doesn’t want to come to the table to eat. So I bribe her, saying, “No chocolate pudding or chocalotta ice cream if you don’t finish your dinner.” Like raising my children. She likes sweets all the time; yet when she was well, she… Continue

Do you believe in the extrasensory, paranormal....

Way back in the late fifties, a man was crossing a street in a city hundreds of miles away from his home and family. He was on a business trip. All of a sudden, he had a feeling that something happened to his wife. Later, in the evening, while he was watching his hometown news, he discovered that his wife was killed that same day in an automotive accident while crossing a street. About the same time he had the premonition.

"It Aint Over Til God Says It's Over"

You may look down on me.

You may even critize me.

You may scandalize my name.

I will still expect my claim to success and fame.

You may act as if hurting my feelings is a game.

You may do all that you can to make me shame.

You may commit acts and try to make me the blame.

I will hold on to my dignity just the same.

Reaching the high calling of God, is what I aim.

I don't have to act like a wild animal, I'm tame.

I will try to stay focused, my… Continue
