On March 14th, I woke up to Lane talking with someone in the LR.  It was our neighbor from across the street, whose husband is diabetic and had been in the rehab place for about three weeks.  She was telling Lane that his doctor has put him on hospice.  Not because he is dying, but he is not eating and is losing weight.  She came over to our house to ask if I can help him into the house when an Uber driver drops him off from the doctor in a few minutes.  Apparently, the Uber drivers are not allowed to help an invalid into a house.  So in a few minutes our second son and I met the Uber driver with him, and helped him into his wheelchair, and then into the house.  I gave the Uber driver, who spoke only Spanish, a Spanish gospel tract.  After our son went back home, I started talking with the man, because he said he was going downhill.  I asked him if he was a Christian or had been baptized.  He said no, so I explained the gospel to him.  He prayed for forgiveness and to become a child of God!  Praise the Lord!  I talked with his wife, but she was already a Christian.  I was so grateful for this opportunity, because I had been praying that the Lord would give me such an opening to discuss the gospel with them.  We have other neighbors for whom we are also praying.

Later Lane and I went to Lowe's, and I gave a tract to a clerk.  Back home, she scooted most of the machinery in the garage over to both sides, and we put our Impala car in the garage, because a severe storm is coming, and hail is expected.  We also went to our Cracker Barrel, and ate dinner.  I gave a tract to the waitress.  The storm came and went, and we did have some severe wind, rain, and lightning, but no hail here.

On the 15th, I worked on my writing all day.  Later our son and I listened to the song from "Cyrano" entitled "(Heaven Is) Where I Fall."  So sad.  It shows one of the reasons that war is so bad.  It destroys the lives, not only of the combatants, but also their families and loved ones back home, and elsewhere!  So sad that just wars are sometimes necessary!  Unjust wars are just useless.

On the 16th, I worked on my writing.  Then Lane and I went to the grocery.  I gave two tracts to clerks.  One cashier refused a third one.  She said it was because she is Muslim.  I mentioned that the Koran teaches that its followers are to read the Bible, but I don't think she believed me.  Out of probably close to or over 5,000 tracts given away, and only ten people have refused to take one!  Then we went to a White Castle, and I gave four tracts to the staff.  Then to a car wash, and gave a tract to the staffer.  At home, Lane and I mowed our front and back lawns.

Today on the 17th, our second son went to work, and Lane and I went to our church.  The church had about 50 people officially join, who are immigrants from an African country (sorry, I didn't catch the name).  They worship in their language and culture in the church gym.  Beautiful to see the families and children!  Lane and I made an appt with one of the pastors to meet with him this week to talk about membership.  Please be in prayer with us about that.  Then we went to a chili place, where the spaghetti was green, in connection with St Patrick's Day!  No, we didn't eat it!  We had regular spaghetti.  Went home, and I worked on my writing.  Called my Mom later, then updated my journal, this website, and my FB site.

Thank you so much for your prayers, and please continue to lift us up!

Food for Thought and Prayer:

If through a broken heart God can bring His purposes to pass in the world, then thank Him for breaking your heart.  —Oswald Chambers.  E.g., Job—Richard Graham

Trying circumstances are training circumstances for better days ahead.  Genesis 50:27.  —Jerry Howard

The truth is a snare: you cannot have it, without being caught.  You cannot have the truth in such a way that you catch it, but only in such a way that it catches you.  —Soren Kierkegaard

The greatest weapon that was ever put in the hands of mankind is prayer.  It changes everything.  —William M. Branham

God uses men who are weak and feeble enough to lean on Him.  —Hudson Taylor

One man with courage is a majority.  —Thomas Jefferson

Music expresses that which cannot be put into words, and that which cannot remain silent.  —Victor Hugo

I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.  —Sarah Williams

Ambition is a dream with a V8 engine.  —Elvis Presley 

How big is Easter?  Oh, it’s only the answer to pretty much everything.  —unknown

Our time is never spent more wisely than when we are seeking the lost.  —Ray Comfort

When the law doesn’t apply to the lawmakers, you’re not being governed; you’re being ruled.  —unknown

(The way) To understand the part of the Bible (that) you don’t understand is to obey the part you do understand, and before long you’ll begin to understand what you didn’t understand.  Understand?  --Adrian Rogers

Stop waiting for the other shoe to drop.  Pretend the devil only has one foot.  --Jacob Griffin

Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny ...  --C. S. Lewis

To be much for God, we must be much with God.  Jesus, that lone figure in the wilderness, knew strong crying, along with tears.  Can one be moved with compassion and not know tears?  Jeremiah was a sobbing saint.  Jesus wept!  So did Paul.  So did John.  Though there are some tearful intercessors behind the scenes, I grant you that to our modern Christianity, praying is foreign.  —Leonard Ravenhill

To be almost saved is to be totally lost.  —Adrian Rogers

God speaks to everyone, but there are only some who listen.  There are so many noises, electronics, and activities that make it more challenging than ever to hear God speak to you.  Yet, we all need time alone with God to hear Him speak.  We need discernment to hear what He says thru His Spirit, prayer, and the Word.  Take the time, find the place, to have the ear of Samuel to hear God speak and the wisdom of Eli to understand who is communicating with you. 1 Kings 19:12-13; 1 Samuel 3:1-10.  —Brent Wagner

If someone you speak to today dies tomorrow, will you be satisfied with the last thing that you said to them?  Share Jesus and the Gospel!  It is very easy with a tract.
