 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.

6.10- The Power of Keeping a Confidence

-
 6.10- The Power of Keeping a Confidence I have a close friend who started listening to my confidential words 46 years ago. He guards his lips and preserves secrets and deep friendship. He does not speak rashly. He doesn't add shame to the bad things l have experienced. He reduces my burdens by his grace. He has good judgement regarding when to speak and when to remain silent. This gives him good long term friends and deep joy. Proverbs 13 3  A wise son  accepts his  father’s discipline, But a scoffer does not listen to rebuke. 2  From the fruit of a person’s mouth he  [ a ] enjoys good, But the  [ b ] desire of the treacherous is violence. 3  One who guards his mouth protects his life; One who opens wide his lips  [ c ] comes to ruin. 4  The soul of the  [ d ] lazy one craves and  gets  nothing, But the soul of the diligent is made  [ e ] prosperous. 5  A righteous person hates a f...

9.7- The long prayers about not electing anyone who doesn't support babies in the womb

 9.7- The long prayers about not electing anyone who doesn't support babies in the womb but unwilling to support and educate them for the next 18 years. Save your political action prayers for the meeting with your win/lose political party, whether you are democrat, republican or independependent as far as I'm concerned. Preach and sing the gospel but leave moral slobbery for some group that doesn't abuse children and cover it up and practices racism as a normal thing. The teacher said don't strain out gnats and swallow camels. Stop bad religion please. Matthew 25 31  “But when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne.   32  And all the nations will be gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one another, just as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats;   33  and He will put the sheep on His right, but the goats on the left. 34  “Then the King...

8.16- Confidence is a good thing. A well trained Olympic athlete is very confident.

 8.16- Confidence is a good thing. A well trained Olympic athlete is very confident. They train four years or longer for this moment on beam and fall down the beam or fall of the beam. They fly off and miss the uneven bars. Knowing they cannot win a medal. They have messed up and gone off the horse. What do they do? They get back on the horse. They finish their routine with a confident smile. They do not let that failure define them. Our life is not marked by a failure unless we allow it to be. The choice is ours. Bad day at work yesterday. Make today that much better. 2 Corinthians 4 7  But we have this treasure in  [ e ] earthen containers, so that the extraordinary  greatness  of the power will be of God and not from ourselves;   8  we are  afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing;   9  persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed;   10  always carryi...
