Let me get my whining over first.

I’m in great pain My right hip is getting worse by the day. the pain level is 8-10. meds are doing little. One pain killer is helping a little, but not enough.

I have an appointment with a pain management clinic, but that isn’t until end of June.

I am trying to schedule surgery. It is in motion, but it is three months away.

____________________________________________________________________________________

What have your days been like? Frustrating, disappointments, physical pain, not enough money? Many of you have been there I’m sure. What can we do to fight back all this garbage?

It is difficult, at best, to survive in this not so friendly world.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Here is what I have been doing to fight back:

  1. Pray without ceasing. Prayer is powerful
  2. Face the day with courage and persistence.
  3. Never give up.
  4. My formula?

______________________________________________________________________________________

Never forget where abundant love is available for you. That would be our God. He knows your hurts. He knows your pain. He wants the best for you. Pray like He is right next to. Cry out to Him. He will hear your prayer and soothe your pain, hurts, and will give you love.

______________________________________________________________________________________

Remember:

You are not alone.

You are not forsaken.

You are not unloved.

And above all…never, ever, give up!

This post is about love. Love conquers all adversity.

Here are some thoughts on love from my Church service on Sunday:

  1. Lyrics from a song. “Your love is holding on and won’t let go.”
  2. The story about the good Samaritan: A man was attacked and beaten up badly on the road. The attackers left him for dead. A priest came by and saw the man. he went on the other side of the road and kept walking. A Levite came by and did the same thing. He kept going. Then a Samaritan came by and found pity for the man. He bandaged him up, and took him to an inn. He told the Inn keeper to take care of him and gave him money to do it. That is true love.
  3. When I am loving God with all my heart, I feel compassion for others.
  4. When I am loving God with all my heart, I care for the stranger, the outsider, even my enemy.
  5. Love your neighbor as yourself. Your neighbors can be anyone, anywhere, any time.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Remember:

You are never alone.

You are never forsaken.

You are never unloved.

And above all…never, ever, give up!

I am back at my desk trying to do my post today. I have to stop and walk around about every twenty minutes. (Good way to get those steps!)

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Here are some current events that I found interesting:

  1. House GOP accuses President Biden of influence puddling.
  2. Russia forced into humiliating retreat ay Bakhmut.
  3. Guerilla arsonists just set fire to Russia’s supersonic bomber.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Thoughts…

  1. The republicans are going all out to find wrong doing from Joe Biden.
  2. This is wide spread in Ukraine right now. The Russian fighters are wanting to quit. They also have little ammunition, or body armor.
  3. I’d say the writing is on the wall for Putin. Everything around him is falling apart.

_________________________________________________________________________________________

How can we face the world in the way it is going now? So much turmoil and strife.
One thing we always have to cling to is that God is in charge. He sees what is going on. No He is not happy, but He allows us to make choices. In the end you and I win.

________________________________________________________________________________________

Never let the darkside overcome you. Throw our the negative thoughts in your mind and fill it with positive thoughts.

Is that simple? It could be if your allow it. That is what I do every day.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Remember:

You are never alone,

You are never forsaken.

You are never unloved.

And above all…never, ever, give up!

I’m sitting here typing my blog while watching a movie. I’m in the den. I have to be here, because I can’t sit in the desk chair. It makes my right hip explode.

It is harder to try to type n the den, because where I have to place the computer.

______________________________________________________________________________________

I reminded myself, that the title of this site is “Signs of Hope.” I need to do just that! Share signs of hope.

______________________________________________________________________________________

  1. The signs of hope from God, shows us His creative side. The flowers, spring rain, beautiful trees. flowing rivers, Majestic mountains, and much more.
  2. God creates miracles such as, a neighbor of mine was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, and given only months to live. She is still alive today and cancer free.
  3. Every time a new born comes into our world, we know God created him/her.
  4. Going on a walk with my granddaughter she notice and ant crossing the sidewalk. She got excited and said, “Look at that wonderful creature of God.”

________________________________________________________________________________________

I could go on, but signs of hope are everywhere if we just look around us

________________________________________________________________________________________

It seems to me that people forget the importance of their heritage, and privileges.

Our country has been around for over 200 years, We became an independent nation, in 1776.

We walk around complaining of high inflation, high gas prices, our southern border, and much more.

We forget how blessed we are to be where we are.

  1. We have free speech.
  2. We can so no, and not be threatened.
  3. Go to great schools for free.
  4. Travel to anywhere in the United States without barriers.

__________________________________________________________________________________________

Stop and think how lucky you are. You could be in Ukraine dodging missiles. You could be captured in Russia and held for ransom. Iran would take care of you in a horrible way.

Feel blessed, and find your own signs of hope.

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. I am having a hard time with my right hip. I am told I will need surgery soon. If it takes the pain away. Let’s do it!

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Went down to California to see my granddaughter’s College graduation. It was a very special time, as my wife, daughter-in-law. My daughter, son-in-law, And another granddaughter were there. We all stayed in the same condo.

Sure brought back memories of when I graduated from college. That was many moons ago.

I was able to be placed in the handicapped area near the football field. There were a whole row of us. Got to meet new friends that day. All very good people.

We left Portland, Oregon with 43 degree temperature, and got to the college with 86 degree weather. Huge difference. I decided I may want to live there.

I heard that there was an actor that said he loved to play soldiers in the military. He said it made him feel patriotic. There are thousand of soldiers who go to the front and get shot at with real bullets. Some never came home. Now that is patriotic.

My son, who is a retired Colonel from the Army, has been diagnosed with a brain disorder of some kind. They are still testing him to see what it may be.

Your prayers would be appreciated.

You are never alone.

You are never forsaken.

You are never unloved.

What is Really True? How Can we Prove Something is True?

What is really true? How can we prove something is true?

People for centuries tried to convince others that Jesus never existed.How could someone do what others claimed he could do?

True faith is that we believe in something we can not see.

Some people think that true faith can not happen without facts.

  1. In Israel there have been archeological diggings that brought the truth to us. They found what they think the cave where Jesus was buried.
  2. They found proof that Pontius Pilate was real by finding papers, and pieces of things that his name all over it.

True facts takes us beyond mere facts to trust.

__________________________________________________________________________________________

The Bible is the book with all the truth. There is proof that all of the disciples existed. They wrote what they saw, and all of the books of the disciples say the same things, but in different ways of saying it.

__________________________________________________________________________________________

I believe that God sent His only son down to earth to die for us. If we believe this we have eternal life.

You are never alone,

You are never forsaken.

You are never unloved.

  2. Ukraine Army eliminates 1,040 Russian soldiers over the last weekend.
  3. Woman performed a C-Section on herself. Both she and the child survived.

Comments…

This just proves that Putin is doing war crimes. Ukraine continues to overpower Russia.

This woman is a very brave woman. Her baby is alive because of her quick thinking.

______________________________________________________________________________________

Our world seems to be heading towards destruction. Wars, Millions crossing our southern borders, high crime, and many other horrific events.

We need to turn to God, and ask for His intervention. Pray that He will protect those who can’t defend themselves.

I finally got to see an orthopedic doctor, for my painful hip. I wasn’t surprised by his diagnoses. He said I will need hip surgery in the next three months. My thinking was, “What are you doing today?” It takes months to schedule surgery. I will be getting a steroid shot to ease the pain, but again there are long lines waiting for their shots, so i’ll have yo wait until April 27th to get mine. That is eternity. I have been given pain pills, and they are helping a little, but not very much.

______________________________________________________________________________________

Are you facing serious problems with your health? Do you need some quick help? I’m there with you.

There is not much I can do to help you as a human, but God is there 24/7. Reach out to him and ask for healing. Be patient with Him. His timing is always perfect.

Never give in to the darkside. Seek the light and it will give you hope.

You are never forsaken.

You are never unloved.

This old guy is really suffering with pain right now. That is why my posting is not consistent. I have arthritis in my right hip area, and the pain is increasing everyday.

I can hardly walk, and the pain is really bad when I try.

Going to see my doctor tomorrow morning to see what we can do.

____________________________________________________________________________________

Have you had struggles with you health lately? Have your days been filled with pain? I certainly can relate to that!

What can we do to overcome the pain and agony?

This is not an easy question to answer. Of course going to a doctor would be an obvious choice, But what if they say it will take several weeks to do the procedure?

The pain will be knocking at your door and won’t leave.

____________________________________________________________________________________

My only advice to turn all your pain over to God. He knows what you are going through He Knows your pain. “Talk” to Him asking Him to relieve your pain. Lean on Him for comfort and peace.

Above all…never, ever, give up!

Just what the living water? It is Jesus who provides the living water. If you feel dehydrated go to Him and you will never thirst again.

The water Jesus offer to us is:

  1. A gift from God.
  2. Living water.
  3. Never thirst again.
  4. A well.
  5. It gives us eternal life.

Do you feel like you are trying to live in world that is like a desert? Does your bucket of water have holes in it?

Jesus provides endless water for your thirst.

Current news…

  1. There was a mysterious cave found. A man lived in it for forty years.
  2. Two girls found in floating boat and their parents are missing.
  3. North Korea just announced that 1.4 million people enlisted to fight the U.S.
  4. Poland’s entry into the Ukraine conflict will mean the start of WWIII according to a Russian lawmaker.
  5. Alleged killer Bryan Kohberger only meant to kill one of the victims who he was obsessed with. According to new expert theory.

___________________________________________________________________________________

My thoughts…

  1. The man in the cave chose to be there. He wanted to leave city life.
  2. There is fear that the girl’s parents are not alive.
  3. North Korea may have 1.4 million people enlisted in the military, but there is just too many weaknesses in their system to fight any war.
  4. Poland had become a strong ally of ukraine, and will send them 20 fighter planes.
  5. Bryan Kohberger is a very sick man who should spend the rest of his live behind bars, or even executed.
