Prayer Journaling on the Fourth, 2023

What to do today? July 4.
America’s birthday, they say. I am thankful, and grateful to live here. I am grateful and give thanks today for every Real Follower of JESUS who lives here in this Country – the few, very few there may be.

There is opulence and luxury here but now in these winter years how rich is this Country, really? It doesn’t seem rich to me in what matters. In what matters She seems a pauper to me. Poor in all that is eternal. Pompous and arrogant, flaunting sin like it is good. Even CHURCHED people are raucous in sin and unbelief. So quick to be entertained and distracted and indulgent in the same attractions as the world (pagans if you please). And if not participating, applauding or at the least closing eyes and mouths.

Freedom!
A people FREE TO SIN.
Where is the freedom FROM sin?
That Freedom attained only by the BLOOD of The LORD YESHUA (JESUS the CHRIST) BOUGHT for us with His SINLESS Life, HIS Death, and HIS RESURRECTION!
Where’s the allegiance to that Freedom? Where are the fireworks to celebrate the freedom to overcome sin, shame, selfishness, and idolatry? Who is celebrating this FREEDOM today? I know some of you are and for you, I am celebrating! 470858_480p_posters17

AND I’m not raining on cook-outs with family and friends, or giving thanks for the voluminous opportunities afforded to every person walking the sod we call America. I’m not begrudging happy faces and full tummies. Like I began this piece, I am grateful to have been born here, to live here, but these days I wonder if the blessings of America have become Her Curse.

Freedom!
It’s vital.
It’s waning.

Seek JESUS.
Press in Christians. Press into Your Savior and LIVE FREE!

Galatians 5:1 For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.  source   Read the whole chapter, it will do you good.

Showers and the Front Porch

It’s a rainy Monday in my corner of the world and the afternoon is nearly half-spent.

As I sit to write, I hear a familiar sound. Yep.
Our Lab-mix sweetheart of a dog has decided the backyard and her cozy little house are not as comfy as the front porch. lab-pitbull-mix-768x480
And so JT will need to locate her escape route and temporarily close it, in lieu of a better time (like when it’s not raining) to perfect a better repair. In the meantime, let her enjoy keeping watch from the front porch.  She can smell the rain better from there.  :)

May the week ahead be a pleasant one for you all with When-You-Need-Showers-of-Blessings-fbshowers of blessings as you daily worship The LORD.

Shalom, Kathie

We are glad you are here; stay a while, look around, and be encouraged. We estimate there to be over 3,000 posts here at The White Stone Blog. Please know my hope is ALWAYS to help and NEVER harm. I have voiced many opinions and thoughts here since 2007 and by now I MAY NOT EVEN AGREE with all of them and some of my grammar and punctuation likely needs editing. But this is changeless: JESUS is our ONLY Savior and Hope. Do you KNOW Him?
