Pearl S. Buck Elementary School Chorus

These children do an amazing performance of "Love, Peace, and Freedom". They are from the school named after one of my favorite novelists of all time. As a small child she lived not far from here in Hillsboro, WV. Her parents became missionries to China. After coming back to America, Pearl decided to go back to China, as a missionary, and to live with her parents. Her father had written and said her mother was ailing, she went back to mostly care for her mother, and stayed to become 'Sai Zenzhu' (her Chinese given name.) Pearl was born in 1892 and died 1973. I remember as a teen finding out she had died. I cried for hours. Her writing was some of my favorite school assignments (I went to a private Christian based school.) She brought China alive for me, as well as the dangers for Christian missionaries there. I started praying for them then, and I continue to do so. She wrote many books, and every one was just so good! If you haven't read anything by Buck, let me recommend that you get started with "The Good Earth".

The Knights Templar Fell Hard

 The fall of the Knights Templar


The Knights Templar, also known as the Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and
 of the Temple of Solomon, or the Order of Solomon’s Temple, was a 
religious military order of knighthood who served the Catholic church.

Following the successes of the 1st Crusade, a number of Crusader states were formed in the Holy Land, leading to an influx of pilgrims from Western Europe to travel to the sacred sites of Christendom.

Many pilgrims were either killed by banditry, or whilst crossing through hostile Muslim controlled territory. This led to the founding of a military order called the Poor Knights of the Temple of King Solomon in 1118 by Hugues de Payens, along with relatives and brothers in arms, with the sole purpose of protecting travellers on their pilgrimage. 

The Knights Templar swore an oath of poverty, chastity, obedience, and were expected to honour the fasts and vigils of the monastic calendar just as the Cistercians and other monks.

The rest of this article can be found on https://heritagedaily.com  . I'm not sure, but yu may need to register for their free newsletter in order to read it.

I have been fascinated with the Knights Templar for more than 40 years. I read as much about them as I possibly can. Recently, The Curse of Oak Island has found them associated with treasure on the island, which would have been deposited about 1,000 years ago! (12th century!)

Is there anything that you find interesting enough to study it? I find myself studying alot of different subjects, especially pertaining to the Scriptures, those associated with the Scriptures, and artifacts. My DH studies anything alien related. I tried to get interested in that, so that we might have a shared interest, but I couldn't. Just not my thing. How about you?

Do you believe the Holy Grail (whatever that is), the Ark of the Covenant, or a ship in the swamp off Oak Island, Nova Scotia, is really out there, please let us know in the comments. Or if you believe aliens from space once lived on our planet, let us know! Everyone is safe to comment here, we will not tolerate any ridicule, or anyone 'picking for a fight'. No bullying allowed!

I'll be watching for your comment below!

A Fitting Tribute to a Real American Hero



Colin L. Powell, who in four decades of public life served as the nation’s top soldier, diplomat and national security adviser, and whose speech at the United Nations in 2003 helped pave the way for the United States to go to war in Iraq, died on Monday. He was 84.

(Please read the remainder of this article HERE. )

PERSONAL NOTE: Powell was a great American hero. I pray America does not treat him unfairly in death. Too many of our hero's have been denigrated to "they did a good job", or worse. Powell served in Vietnam and the Gulf War. His death was due to a complication of COVID-19. After a medical treatment, his immune system was compromised.  My thoughts, prayers, and my gratitude go out tonight to his family. Gratitude, in that, he served our Country, and he made it proud.

Where are they now? Most Christians Don't Know This.





Where Are They Now? Most Christians Don't Know This


Please watch this, and take this message to heart! In this time we often give the Devil more credit than he is due. There is a difference btween Satan, and the Legions who follow him. Do not fall into the traps that these followers set to catch Mankind. Instead, put on "THE WHOLE ARMOUR OF GOD". Guard your Soul.  Remember that many will believe they are saved from the fires of Hell. Yet they continue to give sway to Satan, not knowing that they do so.

Many read the Scriptures. Yet they do not KNOW it. Learn it. Memorize it. Wear it over your Soul as a protectant. Then when the Day of Judgement comes, you will not be found lacking. The Father will not look at you and say, "Sorry, but I never knew you." From there to be thrown into the Lake of Fire.

Please, if you feel comfortable doing so, share your testimony of faith. 

Have a wonderful week~!

It's a ....girl!


 Don't tell me God doesn't watch over His children! We've been without a car for almost 2 weeks now. Our car is in the shop, and it was going to cost us $4,00 or more to get fixed! This came only a few short weeks after paying $2,800 for the transmission to be fixed! So, we were almost at the end of our savings. So, we had just a few dollars left, and did not know what to do.

Well, we saw a car, just 25 miles away. When my husband s[poke to a woman about purchasing a car she had listed, he told her if it run he wanted it. She said she would drive to wherever we were. 

Say what? She did say that! So he told her to bring it! He spoke to her about 4pm. She was here with car at 6:30pm. Yes! 

God is so good! All the time! Any time! So glad He's mine and I am His!

What did God do for you today?

(I name all the cars we have purchased over the years.) She is named Emerald, because she's green, and I think of Ireland when I see her. (My word or photo association is really messed up! LOL)

Quote of the Day

 

Rebecca Nurse Memorial Stone

"I think I'll go then.I m too old for this." (tht;s how I feel most of the time!)

Rebecca Nurse spoke these words when the good reverend was trying to awaken of the girls who slept and could not be awoken.

Born in 1621, she was hung with other women and men who were tried and found guilty of witchcraft in 1692. The above stone is a memorial for her in old Salem town.

Looks like the fella is waiting for you to settle down so he can read you a good story!

I am currently reading "Rosslynn", a selection of entries in kind of a diary, expressing a journey that led two adult men to venture forth and determine what, if any, links this chapel with the coveted grail. History does not record this clearly, and may have been lost, and never seen! But these two men are determined to stay until they uncover the chapel's many hidden secret's. Oh if plaster and paint could talk!

What are you reading this evening?

Scars In Heaven - Casting Crowns (Lyrics)


Such a beautiful song! I was just sitting here half-listening to the music playing. I've been thinking about my Mom a lot since all of the sickness that has moved through our family. Mom left us a little over 6 years ago. Angels carried her home from a hospital bed in the middle of the night. I live my days thankful for her teaching me of Jesus, and God's amazing grace! I try harder and harder to live a life that she would be proud of when I stand before my God and give an account of my life.  When suddenly, this song came on. Talk about a moment of pause! I know she's in heaven, and tonight she let me know we are still connected. 

Please take a listen, and enjoy this lovely song.

Hurricane to Bring Snowfall

We are feeling the effects starting this morning. We are getting a bit of the tail of the storm, dropping our Mountaineer temps down in the mid-50's at breakfast!


Hurricane Larry will produce snow measured in feet


Friday is the statistical peak of hurricane season, yet a monster named Larry is forecast to transform into a winter storm that will deliver feet of snow in Greenland.

Charles Aznavour's “Yesterday When I Was Young” by Willie Nelson


I find this song is mirroring my life. I was young for so long. Now sickness , a body that bends for me in every wrong direction I hate to undress any more. The wrinkles, the dirty looking yellow hair that has changed what had turned silver, is so ugly yellow. The rest is filled with slivers of my ugly  my old black, laced with beautiful silver. 

 Every breathe is painful. I tell my family "I'm okay!" I can't bear to tell them I'd rather just  lay down in my bed, and just never get up again. Pills are the only way I can move about with a modicum of somewhat comfort. 

My husband fusses at me more than I can really tolerate. But he told me he fusses at me so I ll be able to take care of myself  when something happens to him. He's afraid he'll go before me. And that might be. But he has given me a terrible cough. My skin smells like his cigarettes. Nasty smelling! The worst is my pocket book, When I unzip it, you can small his nasty smell. Once the doctor told me she can smell his cigarettes on me. He smokes when I'm in the car, and  I get covered with the smell! What can I say!


 be. He certainly has lots of symptoms of cancer from smoking. His smoking has certainly

Blake & Trace-Asshole Song

I usually don't repeat these kinds of posts. but you have Blake and Trace, and I couldn't help myself. The song, ugly enough is, "You're still an A**hole to me." Hadn't heard it before, but thought it was so funny! I don't get angry when someone says they didn't read a post of mine, because I said it was crude, what I hate are the people who say they did listen and were offended. So, if a word like this offends you, or there are children in the room, then skip over it. Neither of us will be offended! God bless you and your family!

Hospitals in Beckley, Princeton, and Welch go on red alert

 BECKLEY, W.Va. (WVVA) WVVA News has just been informed that hospitals in Beckley, Princeton, and Welch went on red alert around 11 a.m. on Friday.


The update is coming from Raleigh County 911 Dir. and Emergency Coordinator John Zilinski. He said a red alert is the same as diversion, meaning the hospital is in use or lacking some type of life-saving equipment in the ER.

He said Raleigh County 911 is currently working with JanCare Ambulance to ensure the best quality care.

BARH Community CEO, Rocco Massey, elaborated on the designation further on Friday afternoon, saying it means the hospitals are experiencing a surge in patients. Massey said BARH is still taking in patients and resuming normal operations.
He said the designation can sometimes last a couple hours or days.

Meanwhile, a spokesperson for Raleigh General Hospital also released a statement on the situation on Friday afternoon:

Raleigh General Hospital is currently seeing a notable increase in COVID-19 activity in our community, particularly among the unvaccinated population.  Hospital capacity, including bed availability, is incredibly fluid and can change rapidly.

Raleigh General Hospital is currently seeing a notable increase in COVID-19 activity in our community, particularly among the unvaccinated population.  Hospital capacity, including bed availability, is incredibly fluid and can change rapidly.

Raleigh General Hospital provides necessary stabilizing treatment, within its capability and capacity, for individuals who are determined to have an emergency medical condition. Our hospital strictly adheres to the Emergency Medical Treatment & Labor Act (EMTALA) and, therefore, we provide a medical screening exam to every individual who presents to the emergency department for examination or treatment for an emergency medical condition. In the event our hospital did not have the capacity to admit a patient, we would complete an appropriate transfer to another facility in accordance with EMTALA’s requirements.

We are committed to taking every precaution to keep our patients and staff safe, and we want to remind our community to not put off the care they need during this pandemic.

It is also important to get the COVID-19 vaccine, wear a mask, and practice proper handwashing and social distancing – particularly with the Delta variant surging in our community and nationwide.
