Where the Swann's go

Jan 11, 2017

This is where the geese, ducks, (and the Swann's) go for the winter! Well, I don't know about the Swann's for all winter but there are sure a lot of geese and ducks here.  Some people feed them and they stay around and will knock on their door early in the morning to get food.  Smart birds, I won't be feeding any.

I went to wash clothes yesterday and visited the Lodge recreation room.  Where you can check out (or exchange) books, DVD's, sports equipment, games, etc....  They had a display of the indigenous wild life, rattle snakes, king snakes, tortoises (turtles with long necks), horney toads, tarantulas, huge dragon fly's, and sign's up to tell the difference between dog tracks and mountain lion tracks.  Question... with all of that information, would you be (or are you) focused on trusting God?  There is a difference between being aware of your surroundings and fear.

While at the Lodge, I was talking to folks there and I ask them about the bicycle I was considering.  The recreation lady took me to a back room and showed me her three wheeled, double seated electric chair that would go 30-40 miles on a charge.  She had a special paint job and configuration that made it look like a motor cycle (nice).  It is an option, and the cost was only a little more than the electric bike, hum.... I couldn't peddle it but you could ride further on roads, also without tags.

I met 6 people while washing clothes.  One wonderful lady, works here on weekends, loved the Lord, baptized in the Holy Spirit and has been laying hands on people for healing, another RV Missionary, wow!  I saw in the literature that there is a Sunday worship service and Wednesday night Bible study.  I will check it out tonight. 

I talked to my Actress-Missionary-Organic-Hippy-Sister, she is still in the last RV park and she said they were starting Sunday worship and Wednesday Bible Study there. Woopee! 

We, as Christians, need to be bold, and be willing to face persecution for our faith (Jesus).  Hey, He loved us so mush, He was willing to leave "cushy" heaven to come down to earth, with us wayward, rebellious, acting-ugly sinners, (His creation) to show us the way to live, then died a painful, humbling death on a cross (paying for our sins so we could be free and go to heaven, not fry in hell for eternity).  We can at least put up with whatever we have to, and stand up and be HIS CHILD!  Whatever is done to us while we are "in the name of Jesus" will only get us goodies in heaven and peace and Joy in our hearts while we are being persecuted here in this place (that is not even our home).  Keep in mind, why we are here ,(in the world, (not of it) we are Ambassadors for Christ.  WE OWE HIM!!

I just thought about the fact that in my former wayward, searching, days, I didn't believe that there could be a hell that was worse than things I had seen on earth.  Well, what I know now, we will see much worse in the days to come, because the ruler of hell has been given more and more permission by people in the world to work his work. 

God gave (and still gives) us a choice, Jesus, or the devil (if you are not serving Jesus, you are serving the devil and his ways.) Who will you follow?  Who gives you joy instead of temporary pleasures, that always cause something to die (relationships, family, shorter life, etc...).  You can tell by your fruit.    Give it all up for Jesus and watch Him prove himself to you, personally when He comes in your heart.  I DARE YOU!!  Don't die without Jesus, you don't know when that will happen, but JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY TO GET THERE.  Don't try and intellectualize it (I tried that), this is  SPIRITUAL. He is giving you the chance right now.  Repeat these words and believe them in your heart and you will be saved and go to heaven when you die, guaranteed! (it worked for me and everybody I know, that did it).

JESUS, I AM SORRY FOR MY SINS, SAVE ME, AND COME INTO MY HEART.

 If you did that, YOU ARE SAVED and have ETERNAL LIFE, not eternal death!  It is that simple, but profoundly life changing.  Now, pray for, and ask Jesus to find you a Bible believing, Bible teaching Church so you can learn how to walk in it(trust Him, he will).  I, and others who are saved, and reading this, are praying for you.  Meanwhile if you need a Church, my Church is Live Streamed on Sunday's at 9:30AM and 12:30AM (rebroadcast) and Tuesday at 7:30 PM EASTERN TIME.

I woke up to drizzling rain this morning (not heavy enough to hear on the roof).  It stopped and has gotten brighter now, the temperature is 54 degrees going up to 59.
