Watching Christians attacking one another is heart breaking. At the top of that list would be a church split. When a church board decides that they have the right to remove a Pastor for anything other than moral failure or running off with the tithes of the church is wrong. And God will make that evident in the future.
God appoints Pastors and Teachers. The elders of the church in the New Testament were used to serve the body of Christ, such as widows and orphans.
Accountability is important. But God has always worked through Shepherds of His flock. They carry the greatest weight of responsibility in God’s eyes. And they are responsible to bring the body of Christ into the presence of God. He will judge any wrong doing one day.
I hope you never face such a problem, but if you do? Pray for the Pastor.

I am honored to fulfill a “special request”. One of the listeners asked me to post this song with piano accompaniment only. I don’t often hear back from those who listen to my posts but I keep plugging along anyway. I do this because I love the Lord and He gave me a dream a long time ago, asking me to “save the Hymns”. I took that to mean that I should sing and post them.
I do hope you are blessed as I am in hearing these old songs.

THANK YOU LORD FOR GIVING YOUR LIFE ON THE CROSS SO THAT WE CAN BE SAVED!
1 Corinthians 1:18
For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
I Peter 2:24
and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed.
Luke 9:23
And He was saying to them all, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me.

I found this great instrumental of the Hymn, DOWN FROM HIS GLORY, played by the Hymnal Brothers on YouTube. This song was specially requested by a dear friend. We need to remember that God sent His Son from Glory, to die for you and I. He then rose again and went to Heaven. And if we accept Him and give our lives to Him? We can have eternal life!
Your friend,

“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you or forsake you” (Deuteronomy 31:6).
I WILL POUR WATER
My soul cries out, Lord, I need more of you.
Every part of my being, Lord I give it all to you.
So hear my prayer, as I seek your face.
Oh sweet Holy Spirit, come and flow through me.
Lord pour out your glory, let it flow over me.
Come and saturate my being, oh and set my spirit free.
OH change my life, to be more like you each day.
Oh Lord let your spirit, let it cover me
He said, I will pour water on your dry and thirsty soul.
I will pour floods upon your barren ground.
And I will send rain, on your hungry heart. W
hen you have humbled, when you seek my face.
Our world is in chaos. Everywhere we look we see a storm. BUT JESUS is with us always. Be not afraid. He is coming soon for His own!
Psalm 91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
Psa 91:2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
Psa 91:3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
Psa 91:4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
Psa 91:5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
Psa 91:6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
Psa 91:7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
Psa 91:8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
Psa 91:9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
Psa 91:10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
Psa 91:11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

I’m FREE
Verse 1
For a long time I travelled
Down a long lonely road;
My heart was so heavy in sin I sank low.
Then I heard about Jesus,
What a wonderful hour;
I’m so glad that I found out
He could bring me out
Through His saving power.
Chorus:
Thank God I am free, free, free
From this world of sin.
I’ve been washed in the blood of Jesus,
I’ve been born again.
Hallelujah, I’m saved, saved, saved
By His wonderful grace.
I’m so glad that I found out
He could bring me out
And show me the way.
Verse 2
Like a bird out of prison
That has taken its flight;
Like a blind man that God
Gave back his sight.
Like a poor wretched beggar
That’s found fortune and fame,
I’m so glad that I found out
He could bring me out
Thro’ His holy name.

My life as a daughter and a caretaker
I had a dream. I dreamt that I was standing in a group of people who were talking about a wonderful hair stylist who could make your hair feel soft and look healthy and shiny. I believe I dreamed this because the night before, I had been at my daughter’s house. Michael and I had been helping her and Vince to lay tile on a bedroom floor. The dust from the mortar and grout must have been in the air because when I pushed my hair back into a hair tie it felt course and dry. As I was walking towards the hair stylist, my eyes fell upon this woman whose hair was an example of his work. Her hair was long and dark brown, and it fell across her shoulders in gentle curls. I touched her hair and it was just as I expected. Soft and healthy. I then realized this woman was my mother. I was so surprised to see her like this. I looked at her from head to toe. She was young again! My mother, unlike me, had inherited her small delicate, features from my grandfather who was French.
She was gorgeous, and quite slim and had on a beautiful, stylish dress and shoes. A far cry from the memories I have of her except for that one when I was in kindergarten. I remember her visiting me for a Mother’s Day Celebration. She looked like this then.
Mother spoke and told me that she felt wonderful. That she was having the time of her life and that she had been out and about, doing different things. As she told me this story a single tear rolled down her cheek. I took my finger to wipe it away. I felt the soft smooth skin on her face. I took my hand and placed it under her chin to really look at her.
I felt my heart melt. I longed to see her. Not the mother I remember from the long years of torment and unhappiness. The mother who found comfort and escape through medication. The mother who cried all the time and hid from her abusive husband. THIS is the mother I remember!
I miss the mother I barely knew. The one who was young and happy. Who now is finally experiencing a fun and happy life; The life I wanted to help her experience after my father passed away! The life she then could not embrace.
As I woke up, I found myself wanting to relive this dream. To be back with my mom. This mom. I went over and over the details of that dream so I would not forget it.
Mother’s birthday was on July 17th. I forgot to think about her on that day. When I remembered days later, I thought oh well, I have no really good memories of her, so it is just as well.
I then heard the Lord speak to my heart. He told me He was replacing the sad memories of my mother with happy ones. Now I have tears streaming down my face. I can’t wait to see my mom one day in Heaven. She will look like this!
That reoccurring dream. I never went very long without another dream like it, and I just knew somehow, they were connected. The houses would change. Sometimes they were old, and some weren’t houses at all. I dreamed of a warehouse filled from floor to ceiling, containing stuff. But I never got to see inside the boxes, drawers, or crates. Instead, I would wake up. My favorite house dream took place on a lake. The steps towards the home were made of glass and I could see the water beneath my feet.
By this point I began to look forward to the dreams. Some of the houses were so familiar to me that I knew I had been there before. I became resigned to the fact that I would dream about houses that I would never actually see, and I would never know what surprises would be found in the boxes or drawers.
I then had a dream that really surprised me, I found myself in the home I lived in from birth, until the age of 22. I was standing in the living room looking at the old door, leading to the attic. Michael stood before it and took out a skeleton key from his pocket. He opened the door and I hurried over to see what was inside. To my surprise, there were no steps. The attic had been walled up. Instead, behind the door I found shelves, stacked from top to bottom with items that I just knew belonged to me!
Dreams don’t always make sense, and this dream was no different. Somehow, I managed to get the key from Michael and make a copy of it. I was going to make a duplicate key so that I could open that door and finally look at the things that belonged to me any time I wanted.
When I woke up, I was excited. I felt that I had finally seen the contents in the drawers and behind the doors. Things that I had collected all those years while waiting for my turn to live my life. Things from my past. I immediately began to interpret my dream. Now, I know that when we have dreams, we feel are from God, we should ask Him for an interpretation. We should pray, search His Word, and sit quietly before Him so that He can speak into our hearts. But I just knew that I knew the interpretation, so I didn’t bother.
Here was my interpretation: I had lived my life caring for others. I was even caretaker for Michael’s mother and brother for a brief time, following my father and mother’s death. This had prevented me from doing the things that I had wanted to do for God, for His Glory! I was certain that now that I had the key, it meant that it was time to claim my dreams hopes and future! It was now my turn to live my life! But how would I do that?
I knew that I would not sing for Billy Graham unless I did so in Heaven. Michael and I had left full time ministry a long time ago, so I would not expect that we would find ourselves starting or serving in a church now that we were retired.
Honestly, I knew I could not expect any church to find a place for me or my giftings at this age. I had been a church secretary years ago! I did not think any church would put out the welcome mat for me. If there was a place for ministry, I would have to find it on my own.
.
After accepting the Lord and experiencing His love, I naturally expected places of ministry to be a sort of “Heaven on Earth. But that was not what I found. The church world had its share of trouble and problems as well. My brief experience as a secretary, revealed quite a different world. These were real people just like you and I, who had their good and bad days. They were not always fair and just as I had expected, and the bubble I had wanted to live in, simply did not exist. I encountered hurts and betrayals from the hands of supposed friends and clergy, that hurt me deeply. The church and its parishioners were people, just like me. I had to forgive them, and I am sure they had to forgive me, for being human and sinful. My image of the perfect vocation changed dramatically as a result. I realized then that world I so desperately wanted to be a part of was not located on this earth. But that did not remove my desire to do more for the Lord. He was everything to me!
Weeks went by and I would think about that last dream. Nothing had really changed, and I was as confused as ever. What did all this mean? Was I mistaken about my understanding of that dream? I began to think that there just might be more to my dream then what I had wanted to believe. I knew I had to ask the Lord for guidance.
The Lord is gentle and very, very patient. Sometimes when we pray, we only want verification that His will and desire is our will and desire, even when it isn’t! He also knows when we are ready to hear what He is trying to show us. I was now ready.
All throughout my Christian life I knew how important it was to obey the Lord, but I didn’t always want to. Like the time I was sick and tired of taking care of my parents. I was tired of their fighting, and it seemed like nothing ever changed. God gave me a very clear understanding that I had to choose to care for them as He instructed me. But He would not force me to; it had to be my choice. If I obeyed, He would do what only He could do to care for them and bring them to Him. I am so glad that I did obey, because He then gave me an opportunity to lead them to Him before they died. Imagine what it would be like if everyone chose to follow and obey the Lord.
The Holy Spirit gently spoke: “For years you have wanted to escape God’s plan for your life because it was painful. The reoccurring dreams were your attempt to escape the life you were chosen to live and live the life you wanted. The boxes contained your hopes, dreams and wishes. To serve God you must first become His servant and a servant does what their master tells them to do. Do you remember years ago, you asked the Lord to allow you to stay home with your children, instead of working? What did the Lord say?” I knew exactly what the Lord told me. I flipped open my Bible and it landed on Luke chapter 17.
Luke 17:7-9 When a servant comes in from plowing or taking care of sheep, he doesn’t just sit down and eat, but first prepares his master’s meal and serves him his supper before he eats his own. And he is not even thanked, for he is merely doing what he is supposed to do.
Luke 17:10 Just so, if you merely obey me, you should not consider yourselves worthy of praise. For you have simply done your duty!
I knew that the Lord was correcting me. I did not want to work full time. I didn’t want to work at all! I wanted to stay home with my children, and so I begged God! But God wanted me to work outside the home. And He told me to obey Him without asking questions.
A servant does what they are told to do. And so, I stopped asking God to release me, and instead, attempted to do the best job I could. Years later, I was so thankful I had gone to work and learned to be a purchasing agent. I also learned about marketing and Graphic Arts. Years later, I had to earn money when Michael had suffered heart attacks and could not work as he had. So, God knew what was best, and I now had the skills to support us.
