  1. In reading the text today, I read something I had not thought about! It is interesting that I knew faith was our shield, our protection! I also knew that the soldier's shield covered from his shoulders to his knees! Somehow, I never thought about our shield shrinking or growing based on our faith! That's a profound thought! So each of us want to be determined to continue to work on and build our faith so it will be stronger and stronger making our shield larger and larger!
  2. Such wonderful examples of women in the Bible for us to be encouraged by! Jehovah honors women!
  3. Most excellent talk! Comparing the temptations of Jesus to the temptations we are exposed to today! What may have been the another convenient times in Jesus day and what may they be in our day? Any transcripts for this talk?
  4. We are looking for the ones rightly disposed for everlasting life! We are not looking for the haughty, phony, know it alls who don't want to listen! We are looking for the humble, meek, teachable and eager to learn the truth!
  5. The world is cruel and inconsiderate, especially if you are elderly or have disabilities! They have no time for you! They will throw you away like trash! Jesus was loving, considerate and patient! He showed love to all no matter what their circumstance! This is the way we should be if we are to copy his example!
  6. Jesus disciples returned and were so excited about expelling demons and performing other powerful works! Jesus helped them to realize that the most important thing was that of gaining Jehovah's approval! The same is true of us today in doing the preaching work! We are Jehovah's fellow workers in the field and we gain his approval! What a grand privilege!
  7. Jesus came to earth and suffered as a man, thereby understanding the things we go through! He also gave us another most wonderful gift, free access to Jehovah in prayer! We can approach him at any time and as Paul says, receive gifts of mercy and undeserved kindness to help us at any time! What a wonderful gift and blessing we received from our High Priest! Oh, how we cherish it!
  8. We must also remember that this freedom is nothing we earned nor do we deserve it! Therefore we must do our utmost to preserve and cherish this most generous gift from Jehovah that we will never be able to repay!
  9. We should make sure we have all the facts before passing judgement on someone! Asking questions will often time give us the answer we need! As the old folks say, don't go off half cocked! The Watchtower uses an expression I've used for quite a while, A story that is only 10% true is 100% misleading! Most of the time when one is accused, it's only on 10% of the information! May your day be awesome, enlightening and encouraging! Good thing those Israelites went to investigate first! Totally different from what they thought! It could have been ugly, ugly!
  10. Jehovah is really keeping us protected under his wings! We only need to follow his directions and he has appointed the Governing Body to direct us! Since we have been given free will, we can choose to listen to apostates, the government, social media or others and lose our life! We can choose to follow Jehovah through his organization and live! Not just live but enjoy the real life, as this is not it! Thank you Brother Manfred!
  11. It was exactly what we needed at the right time! People have complely gone to the crazies here with everything wide open, rioting and looting! Sacred service is the center of our lives! We need to deal with our problems and follow instructions! Remembering that Jehovah cannot lie, all these things he has promised us, he will do!! Having hope as an anchor and believing in promises Jehovah has made will keep us anchored, will keep us stable and that is exactly what we need! I love that picture and have looked at it many many times, imaging myself in that picture!! I never noticed the leopard laying so comfortable in the tree!!! How did I miss that one? Talk was indeed faith strenghtening, to me!
  12. Thank you so very much for the attention you showed in your revisions! So very loving and thoughtful!

How I Found the Truth

  • How I found the Truth
    My mother was a pioneer and taught us the truth. I only had my mother for 17 years but she greatly impacted my life. There is no place I'd rather be. Look to welcoming Mother back in the New World and thanking her for her instructions!

My Hobbies & Interests

  • My Interests
    Love to do Bible Research and welcome digital methods. When I can I like to quilt, machichine embroidery and crochet.
  • My favorite music
    Kingdom are most enjoyable and encouraging to me. I love those songs! In 2011, I stopped breathing but I knew there is a little air left in the lungs. I play the Kingdom Songs all night. At the time, Song 60, He Will Make You Strong, was playing. Concentrating on that song kept we very calm, reserving breath until help arrived. If I was not listening to the songs, I probably would have panicked, used up the breath and died.
