Please remember to wear a mask when leaving the home. Disposable gloves when necessary. Frequent handwashing at all times. With winter weather just around the corner, be sure to stock up on a good handcream to protect your skin from breakdown through cracks and splits, and peeling. And last, remember Social Distancing.
God bless you all, and remember, Have a Blessed Day!
'You're braver than you think,
Stronger than you seem,
And smarter than you think.'

The following is taken from Christianity Today:
September 26, 1460: Pope Pius II assembles European leaders, then delivers a three-hour sermon to inspire them to launch a new crusade against the Turks. The speech works, but then another speaker, Cardinal Bessarion, adds a three-hour sermon of his own. After six hours of preaching, the European princes lose all interest in the cause; they never mount the called-for crusade.
September 26, 1897: Charles C. Overton, a Sunday school superintendent at Brighton Chapel, Staten Island, spontaneously promotes the idea of a Christian flag. The Rally Day speaker hadn't shown up, so Overton gave an extemporaneous address on Christian meanings for the elements of the American flag. The red, white, and blue cross flag Overton later helped devise was first sewn around 1907 and continues to be used in some churches.
This is shared from Christianity Today.
September 25, 1534: Pope Clement VII dies. An unpopular pope, Clement failed to halt Luther's reformation or to implement his own reforms in the Catholic church. Henry VIII asked Clement VII to annul his marriage with Catherine of Aragon. The pope's reluctance led to Henry VIII's break from Catholicism (see issue 48: Thomas Cranmer).
September 25, 1555: The Peace of Augsburg is signed after the defeat of Emperor Charles V's forces by Protestant princes in Germany (1552). The official recognition of the Lutheran church in Germany, the agreement signified the dissolution of both political unity in Germany and the medieval unity of Christendom.
September 25, 1789: Congress amends The U.S. Constitution to prohibit establishment of a state church or governmental interference with the free exercise of religion.
September 25, 1872: Peter Cartwright, an indefatigable Methodist circuit rider, dies at age 97. Though he was characterized as rough, uneducated, and eccentric, his drive and physical stamina enabled him to preach throughout midwestern frontiers for 70 years (see issue 45: Camp Meetings & Circuit Riders).

As you can see, the tolls are definitely slowing down. Perhaps we are about to see a new resurgence as the medical community has suggested. For now, we need to thank God for this respite, and to pray it will go away completely!
Please, remember to wear a mask if you are leaving home. If needed, please wear disposable gloves. Always practice frequent hand washing. And practice social distancing when in public.
Many thank you's again for your show of support!

I want to personally thank those who prayed when I asked. No further falls at this time. (If it happens again, I will see my doctor early.) I am very sore though. That will last a few days I am sure. But thank you for your prayers.
We are enjoying the beginning of fall/autumn here. Leaves are just now beginning to turn colors. And in the morning, we get up and have to turn a little heat on, just to take the tip of the cold off the rooms. I love this time of year. It's when I get to see God's amazing palette here in the mountains! And I also know my favorite holiday is coming soon! CHRISTMAS! (Before my youngest left the nest, she would start fussing at me in June or July, because I absolutely LOVE Christmas. And EVERYTHING to do with it! So I held back as long as I possibly could and I started singing Christmas Carols, Songs, and Christmas Hymns. She said it drove her CRAZY.) And Yes! I am already singing carols! Deck The Halls just finished!
Thanks everyone. And you all have an amazing Wednesday evening!
"Therefore I say unto you,
What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, b
elieve that ye receive them, and ye shall."
- Mark 11:24 (KJV)
Hello all. I am having the worst time! Satan is really trying his best to get me down. I had another fall last evening when I was on the phone with my Dad. I am sure it scared him. That's 2 falls in two days! Ugh. I did a bit of crying out, as I hurt so badly. Finally DH came to help me. Thank the Lord, I was not badly injured. Sore all over, but otherwise, I am unhurt.
We went today and received food give away items. We've never done this before, until a few months ago. and I have nothing bad to say about receiving it. We are living on DH's SS Benefit, so we gladly accept all the help we can receive. Today we received an entire crate of apples! (About a bushel!) I will make applesauce and apple butter out of them, and maybe a few pies, and some stewed. Yum! We also received a bag full of fresh plums! We'll eat them. Or maybe I'll try to make a small batch of plum jelly! There were 2 frozen hens, I'm putting them in the backup freezer, and will turn them into chicken and dumplings when family can finally come to visit! (I miss my sister and my Dad especially!) We also received two quart sized frozen mixed eggs. These will be good for baking, or making French toast or pancakes! There were 3 bags of chili without beans. Just add beans if wanted, heat in a saucepan and eat! The beef is already in the mix! And 2 quarts of milk! Oh, and 2 loaves of bread. Enough for the two of us to live off of what is here for about 2 weeks if we had to! Seriously! But I do greatly digress. Please forgive me.

The following is taken from Christianity Today.
September 22, 1566: Johann Agricola (b. 1494), German theologian and reformer, dies. He became a friend of Martin Luther in 1519, though after 1540 the relationship deteriorated over the issue of the authority of Mosaic Law in believers' and nonbelievers' lives (see issue 39: Luther's Later Years).
September 22, 1692: Puritan magistrates hang the last 8 of 20 condemned witches are hanged in Salem, Massachusetts (see issue 41: The American Puritans).
September 22, 1734: The Confessors of the Glory of Christ, followers of 16th century Polish reformer Caspar Schwenckfeld, settle in the Pennsylvania Dutch countryside. In 1525 Schwenckfeld had traveled to Wittenberg to ask Martin Luther for an appointment, but found they disagreed on many issues. He became part of the Radical Reformation and Catholics and Protestants both persecuted him (see issue 21: Caspar Schwenckfeld von Ossig).
September 22, 1862: Abraham Lincoln issues the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation after the costly Union victory at the battle of Antietam. The final proclamation was issued on January 1, 1863 and the 13th Amendment officially abolishing slavery was ratified by congress two years later on December 18, 1865 (see issue 33: Christianity and the Civil War).

September 21, 1558: Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, dies. Charles called the Diet of Worms in 1521, which condemned Martin Luther (see issue 34: Luther's Early Years).
September 21, 1944: Founded on April 12, 1944 in Columbus, Ohio, The National Religious Broadcasters organization is officially ratified by constitutional convention at Chicago's Moody Memorial Church.
Here's hoping you all had a wonderful weekend, and are raring to go this beautiful Monday morning, September 21, 2020! I apologize for once more falling behind in keeping you posted. I had a nasty fall, in the bathroom (isn't there a statistic somewhere stating 95% of Senior falls happen in the bathroom?) Yep. And it wasn't pretty. My lip hip is bruised pretty bad, and I hurt especially in my shoulders, knees and hands, where I took the most of the fall. So why did I fall? Ohhh, I was reaching to pick up a piece of clothing that had fallen from the basket! Such a simple thing! Thankfully, DH was here to boost my morale. (I cried because he didn't hear me fall. If you knew what a big woman I am, you'd wonder why on earth he didn't hear such a fall. But, oh, well. ) I really am okay. Just gonna take a few days to get the bruising and soreness to get away!😕😕😕😕
So, without further adieu, let's get started here, shall we?

Hello one and all! I'd like to share what I am doing right now... I am currently making a Grimoire to auction on eBay when finished. It will make a great gift or display piece for Halloween.
'Some of you may ask, what is a Grimoire?'
Wikipedia describes one as:
" A grimoire (/ɡrɪmˈwɑːr/ grim-WAHR) (also known as a "book of spells") is a textbook of magic, typically including instructions on how to create magical objects like talismans and amulets, how to perform magical spells, charms and divination, and how to summon or invoke supernatural entities such as angels, spirits, deities and demons.[1] In many cases, the books themselves are believed to be imbued with magical powers, although in many cultures, other sacred texts that are not grimoires (such as the Bible) have been believed to have supernatural properties intrinsically. The only contents found in a grimoire would be information on spells, rituals, the preparation of magical tools, and lists of ingredients and their magical correspondence.[2][unreliable source?] In this manner, while all books on magic could be thought of as grimoires, not all magical books should be thought of as grimoires.[3]"
There are many pictures of Grimoire's. Here are but a few:

Such a sad report, with so many new cases, and new deaths.
"Lord, let us pray for your healing of this great nation. Lord, let us humble ourselves before you. Let us pray for the leaders of our nation, and the rifts that are forming because of the soon election.
Let us pray personally, and as a nation for our President. Let us bow to You, Lord, for his excellent guiding of our nation, pray for his understanding and his protection. Let us as a nation understand that to change something in the White House if we desire so, then we must pray for it. But as long as our President in is office, Lord, let us pray for his worries and cares, and that his burden will be placed in Your hands. In the Name of Jesus Christ, the Great Defender of us all, Amen."
Please remember to wear a mask when you leave home! Wash your hands frequently! And have a WONDERFUL WEEKEND!

Hello everyone, on this beautiful Lord's Day! I hope all are doing well. My heartfelt sympathies go out to my cousin today. She lost her husband this week. We are praying for you all!
And I want to apologize for my week long absence. I don't know what I had, but I got up from bed every day, and spent the whole day in the rocker. Sick at my stomach at times, and having weird electrical disturbances (I don't know how else to describe them!) I leaned against my left side on the rocker and suddenly that whole side spasmed. DH finally got to see it happen. Definitely something new! But all is better now, and I will try not to miss any further days! And with no further business, here we go!

Repeat: Just a reminder to wear a mask when going away from home. And wash your hands frequently! Remember the social distancing rule of 6 ft., and practice it when you are away from home. Take advantage of any grocery deliveries available in your area. If you can't, use a grocery market you feel meets your needs the best, and that you can get through in the quickest and safest way. If you are okay with it, you might wear nylon, vinyl, or even latex gloves when marketing.
You may want to take a good multi-vitamin during this time. And please, keep yourself well hydrated.
God bless you all, and we will see you tomorrow.
