 7.19-

I came from the Wishard and Woods family from Fannin County Texas.
We have had a family tradition of trying to love and build up the community where we live. Silver city. Bartley Woods, Oak Ridge. Bugtussle. Dial. Ladonia. Honey Grove, Fannin County, Texas, The USA and the whole world as we had opportunity.
We had jobs to provide for ourselves and our families. Farmers, ranchers, butchers, grocers, teachers, administrators, counselors, coaches, ministers, missionaries, nurses, accountants, engineers, soldiers, veterinaries, EMTs and carpenters.
In each of these career fields the core identity was the relationship we had with our Teacher, Savior and Friend, Jesus.
One of our favorite songs was Amazing Grace and What a Friend we have in Jesus.
A common theme of Jesus is to be a prayerful blessing to others.
Our beloved family and friends.
Our co-workers in the work of building up the community where we live.
Our enemies who have a different point of view than our own.
In all three groups we are praying for God to work with us to help our community and the world to be blessed by bringing the love of heaven down to earth where we work.
We worked in family units as well as other small working groups. We prayed to God to say thanks for our daily bread and ask for help in our daily lives with problems we were having with physical health problems or depression and overcoming habits that were not the best.
We always found ourselves needing the Lord’s prayer.
Our Father in heaven.
Hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today…..
Forgive our sins as we forgive others.
Lead us not into temptation.
Deliver us from evil.
After accepting forgiveness and giving it to others we are able to move forward in a healthy way to celebrate our life with our friend Jesus.
Our church family is awesome in its ability to help people overcome habits that are hard to break. Not implying this goal of no bad habits was ever reached by any of us. (Amazing grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me.)_
We love to gather and sing songs of praise to God for His Amazing Grace and friendship with Jesus.
On a good day we pray a blessing on our beloved family and friends.
We are working together to build up our community with our co-workers.
We have some in the community that think government is the problem and some who believe it is the answer.
On a good day, we converse and worship with both groups without harsh quarreling.

9.4- Broken eggs.

9.4- Broken eggs. I had been warned Don't try to carry too much in from the grocery store at once. Learn the hard way or the easy way. Why does the only thing that falls off is the most fragile? The carton was crushed. Several eggs were broken. I have learned to keep looking when a little frustration comes to stay alert. Some good can come out of something bad. Getting laid off from the wrong job can lead to the right job. Getting bumped from the wrong flight to get the right flight, five minutes later plus a free flight. Now I watch for the turn and learn from frustrating little things. Broken eggs. Scrambled eggs. Romans 12 14  Bless those who persecute  [ q ] you; bless and do not curse.   15  Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.   16  Be of the same mind toward one another; do not be  [ r ] haughty in mind, but  [ s ] associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation.   17  Never repay evil for evil to anyone.  [ t ] Respect what is right

9.2- There was this grasshopper who appeared to be very old and very wounded.

 9.2- There was this grasshopper who appeared to be very old and very wounded. He drug himself along. Where he was amazed me. On the ground level at the gas station near Gordon Texas was dirt and oil and the danger of feet and tires. As I pumped 39.30 worth of fuel I wondered how did he get out of the dirt and danger to the safety of the top of the gas pump? As I get older I sometimes feel I am dragging along like a grasshopper. My spirit is fueled by seeing how my life includes my maker providing safety for me by the help of family, friends and strangers. Two such are my nephew, Lynn And Sheri Luttrell. He is a prof. at ACU and she the owner and leader of stepping Stones school. Got to spent two days of fun, 42 and homemade ice cream last week. Ecclesiastes 12. 12  Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come and the years approach when you will say, “I have no pleasure in them”;   2  before the sun and the light, the moon and the stars are darkened

 9.3- I have been given a bed to go to sleep in where a window is high and laying on my back I can see the moon at times. Flat of my back I can choose to think of the maker of the moon. A space craft from India landed there yesterday near the south pole of the moon where they think there may be water. Once the greatest human who ever lived faced his hardest days. He spoke words of steady trust and submission to his loving heavenly Father, maker of heaven and earth. "If possible may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will." Matthew 26. 39  And He went a little beyond  them , and fell on His face and prayed, saying,  “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as You  will .”   40  And He *came to the disciples and *found them sleeping, and He *said to Peter,  “So, you  men  could not keep watch with Me for one hour?   41  Keep watching and praying, so that you do not come into temptation; the spirit is  [ p ] willing,
