Yes, that's right! Don't be surprised! "Weekly" Word means every week. Yes, it does seem like yesterday. Oh... sorry... I was talking to myself.

Yes, this website seems old-fashioned compared to all the formats everywhere else. It isn't based on a template. I created most of the graphics and backgrounds. It doesn't come out of any web site making box. It is personal, just for you (and you) (oh, and you) (I haven't forgotten you) (then there's you) and......

Oh, boy, do I have a project to finish! I'm organizing my office. I've needed to do it ever since we moved here six years ago!

I have my sewing machine, crafts, Bible study books and tools, desk, filing cabinet, two craft/whatever tables, boxes with extra office supplies, and things I love like Breyer horses, pictures, gifts I've been given, and much more. Then, this is the dump room, also. Whenever someone comes over and I have to clear the table.....dump! When something breaks or needs to be sewed....dump! Something I have to find a place for....dump!

God has blessed me with good organization skills but this is a tad overwhelming! So, I'm chip chip chipping away. It needs to be comfortable in here so I can do my Bible studies, repairs/sewing, crafts, etc etc etc

Right now it is still a medium-sized mess. Wanting to be organized it makes me a bit anxious to have it done. I'm not 100% comfortable. The past six years I've actually been taking my projects to the dining room table instead of doing them in here. I've tried to come up with easy solutions to fix this but there are no easy solutions.

One thing I have been doing is downsizing. I am 73 years old. Am I going to finish all the things I thought I would accomplish? Nope. Am I ever going to do all the crafts I wanted to learn? Nope. I have a limited time left on Earth and my body will start making things more difficult for me. It's now or never for a lot of things. I plan on living a lot longer and I hope I am healthy and strong, God willing!

That is the segue into our Bible study!

This week has been difficult. First I heard about the poor woman, Iryna Zarutska, who had been killed on a train in North Carolina and the people around her walked away like they were afraid of her. Why hadn't the news stations told us about it? Why didn't the people who saw her help her?

Then Charlie Kirk was killed. I saw post after post on Facebook celebrating Charlie's death. When the United States House of Representatives was asked to have a verbal prayer for him I heard members saying, "NO!" and arguing.

Hearts are hardened. Minds have been shut off from the truth. "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour" (1Pet 5:8) is what has happened here.

I heard Pastor Jack Hibbs of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills talk about youth being taught evolution in school and that puts them on the same level as animals. Public schools are notorious for having staff that leans to the left. Not all of them, but the large majority. Our local school district posted on Facebook that their flags were at half mast "by presidential order" and that was all they said. How would you take that? I take it that they don't want anyone thinking they are doing it because they care about what happened but because they were forced to do it.

Charlie Kirk is guilty of trying to use facts to help people understand issues. "Prove me wrong" was what he advertised. He didn't get into arguments he just stated facts. The shooter disagreed with him or was hired by someone who disagreed with him.

Charlie is no longer on earth but we are! What would God have us, the Body of Christ, do now? Let's ask Him! One thing we can definitely do is pray against lies, deceit, and the manipulation being done by teachers, politicians, and others!

Right now the power held by the people who spew evil seems as huge as a mountain. Hold on.... "If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you." Mt 17:20

I do believe that, if God wants a mountain moved (yes, a literal mountain) then we can move it with our faith. He made the mountains, what would stop Him from moving one? We can make a difference! Together we can make more of a difference!

One weapon you have is the truth! Don't be afraid to use it! Every person will have to kneel before Jesus. Let's not allow them to say that nobody told them!

Are you with me?

It was another rough week for me. My brother leans pretty far left in the political spectrum. We've never had a serious discussion about it. On Facebook he posted lots of things that consisted of partial truths and lies. He posted a video of a woman using a venomous, hateful tone of voice saying things about Charlie Kirk that were either taken out of context or were outright lies. That hurt me worse than the other things he posted. I sent him an email with a link to that post telling him Charlie's death hurt me terribly and the things the woman said were not true and I needed him to take down that post. I also said I was going to his house to have a conversation.

Well, he said "free speech", said he never did anything hateful, and I was not to come over. I sent a second email to explain why I was hurt by what he posted. He did not reply. I was afraid that conversation had separated me from my brother and his wife forever.

I was surprised when his wife met me for a pre-planned shopping trip and didn't say a word about what had happened. After we ate lunch I told her I thought I would never see her again. I tried to have a conversation about it but she kept waving her hands and telling me to stop trying to explain my side while she told me how awful Trump was. We agreed to never talk politics again. I told her I didn't want my brother wearing anti-Trump shirts to our house and she simply said he had a lot of them.

I guess she spoke to my brother because he and I had a phone conversation the next day. He agreed to watch as many Charlie Kirk videos as he could and we could send links about disagreements via email and we both would check them out. We shall see how this goes. He didn't even know what affirmative action was. He never looked at the links I posted on some of his Facebook posts proving them wrong.

My husband and I tried to attend Charlie's funeral in Arizona on Sunday. Unfortunately, I had gone to bed early so we could get up early and didn't get the 10:00 PM email saying they changed the stadium parking opening two hours earlier. We got stuck in traffic just 1/2 mile from the stadium at 6:15AM. A man was walking away from the stadium saying there were over 150,000 people already standing in line. Since we knew we wouldn't be able to get in we turned around and went home, over an hour away. I was very disappointed!!

However, I was comforted by our new family members we had gotten on Saturday.


This is Muffin	This is Goober

I was finally able to go look at kittens to adopt. It took me a few months to get over losing my elderly cats Rudi and Precious. These two cuties are brothers. Muffin was the runt of the litter and is a little slower and shyer than Goober. Goober is a Goober! He keeps trying to bite my toes and is running all over the place. He jumps up into my lap and loves on me and turns and jumps away. They are so therapeutic!

Are you going to heed the call that we are all Charlie Kirk? After all, he was correct. Lack of communication leads to hate and violence. I knew I had to confront my brother about his lack of sharing truth. I also mentioned to him that he needed to seek a relationship with God. He and his wife thought it was funny to post a cartoon of Trump in hell. I don't think they were fazed that I kept saying it is a real place. Bottom line is I almost lost him and her, but they may be a smidge more open minded now. If they don't seek God they will never be able to say that nobody told them. I did agree to not discuss politics but I will never agree to not discuss God!!

Next week we'll talk about forgiveness.
