GOOD MORNING ALL!!!

This is going to be a short blog today. I have been spending too much time on the computer. I am getting nothing else done. Soon my hubby will start to complain and my daughter also. Although they are on their computers as much as I am.

I need to retract something I posted last time. I was talking about my husband's cousin Billy Thomasson and how many children he had. I thought I was told there were about 18, but I think it said 7 to 8. Wow, what a mistake. They are all on facebook except for the oldest Scott. I have been informed he doesn't want to have anything to do with the Thomassons. I don't know that he even goes by Thomasson. What a sad thing. Billy has been dead about 10 years.

We still have snow on the ground. This is a rare thing anymore. We hardly get any snow, and it usually only stays about a day. It has been, I think someone said, 22 days on the ground. We haven't had this much snow or this cold of weather since the 80s. I know this was a long time ago, but back in 1952 when I was born, there was a lot of snow on the ground. At that time hospitals wouldn't let visitors stay after visiting hours. I was born at 4:15 a.m. on a Sunday morning. My dad had been working all night, and had to be woke up 3 times to let him know I was born. It was cold out and the hospital wouldn't even let my dad stay in the lobby.

For those of you who have lots of snow every winter, next year please keep it to yourselves. We aren't use to this stuff. Now in the past, we have had more trouble with ice storms. About 3 years ago we lost 2 trees due to all the ice. We had two huge willows in the back yard. It split one in the middle the other it broke most of the branches. They had to be cut down. We planted them in our yard as little sprouts, about a year after we moved in. We sure miss them.

Have a good day and God Bless you all.

WHEN WAS THE MESSIAH BORN?

It is only natural for a person to adhere to conducts and beliefs that are biblically defensible.    Be ready always to give an answer to every man  that  asks you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear."   (1 Peter 3:15).                                 Christmas celebrations are generally observed to honor the supposed date of the birth of the Messiah.  But the facts are that Christ was not born on December 25.        " Christmas . . . was, according to many authorities, not cele-brated in the first centuries of the Christian church, as the Christian usage in general was to celebrate the death of remarkable persons, rather than the birth of Christ. ("Christmas",  Encyclopedia Americana).  How then, did the Romish Church fix on December 25th as Christmas-day?  Why, thus: long before the fourth century, a...

THE BOOK OF REVELATION

Many people stay away from the Book of Revelation because they find the symbolism frightening or confusing, or both!  But the Book of Revelation was meant to be a book of comfort to those caught up in the persecution at the end of the first century, says Ms Frances Taylor.  Christians in "Rome" had been blamed by Nero I for destroying much of the city.  They were often called "cannibals" because of their Eucharistic celebrations where they shared the "body and blood of Christ."  (they symbolically used bread and fruit of the vine for the body and blood.)   Domitian was another Emperor who persecuted the Christians at the end of the century; he was most likely the emperor who earned the designation "666".  The number 7 is very often mentioned in this book, which is the number that symbolizes completion and when in threes, God.  Domitian was considered the Satan, who clamed to be God, and fell short for the Christian, the greater danger was the los...

THE LIFE OF SAUL/PAUL

            Paul was born a Jew of the tribe of Benjamin.  He was also a Roman Citizen.  He was born in the Roman City of Tarsus.  In those days people had dual names.  Before he was known as apostle Paul, he was known as Saul of Tarsus.  Saul was his Hebrew name, Paul was his Roman name.  As Saul before his conversion he sought out the believers in Jesus.  He would hunt them down, bind them up and take them to Jerusalem to be killed.  Jesus did not change his name at his conversion.            Saul went to the high priest asking for letters to allow him entry into the synagogues at Damascus, so he could hunt down men and women that professed to be believers in Jesus. As he began his journey, he traveled down the road to Damascus.  As he drew near to the city, suddenly a light from heaven shone around him.  He fell to the ground and he heard a voice saying, "Saul, Saul why are t...
