But it as been wonderful getting to meet you any way.
I know that we se each other on facebook.
But just thought I would check this out.

The Lord is good !

Everyone has their own conversion story. I look back and am still amazed how GOD seems to work things out against the odds. I was 20 yrs old with no particular beliefs at all. I was in the navy aboard an aircraft carrier wich was off the coast of Viet nam. I worked in the boiler room where the average tempurture was 130 degrees. I had been working 4 days without sleep. I was near the edge & believed I was near death. I snuck off to a tool room & prayed. Last straw Lord please either save my life or take it. Less than an hour later I snapped. I came very close to taking another man's life. GOD not only prevented that but seen to it that I was sent back to the states. It was almost 3 yrs. before I was introduced to the church. GOD was someone I hardly knew of let alone believed in. Now I am so thankful that he reached across that gulf between him & I. I now reach for GOD now with a lively hope but I reached for him then with none. Don't give up when things seem impossible. It appears it is then when he does his best work. Thank you Lord! From bro. Stubby.

What is pone bread

I hope everyone is doing great. We have a great life so far.God has blessed us so much.Neither Jim or I have been very sick this winter. Winter is not good on my lungs.

Now some had never heard of pone bread before .Pone bread can be corn or flour.The corn bread pone is, sometimes called johnny bread, cooked in a iron skillet in the oven.The biscuit pone is one large biscuit cooked in iron skillet in the oven.I thing pone bread maybe a southern word.lol

Now the reason we thought that that was a poor meal, it was made for supper. All I had was flour ,lard & water to eat in the house at the time.Now don't get us wrong we thank God we had that much.The kids made us think a little more.

So sometimes when you think things are bad they may not be as bad as you think!

Sondra, Jackie, Johnny & girls are now on their trip.Taking a lot of pictures for us.So they will be posting them when they get back.

Our special Christmas

Our Christmas
I want to tell you a little more of that Christmas.We had just moved into our home the August before.So we had used all our savings as a down payment.You know this is the house I didn't like.Well anyway.Jim had lost his job(because he was not able to do the job).I was only making $5.oo an hour.We had always bought a real tree. We didn't have one .But up in the attic the girls Sondra & Jackie( Jackie was not in the faith at that time)found an old tree so they used that to put up.
Just at the time they had finished putting up the tree,there was a knock at the door. Yes,it was brethren with our wonderful Christmas.Now these brethren were not from our assembly.Sis Jackie knew this. She later told me that this made a impact on her.To see the love they had for us .Not even really knowing us.
So this Christmas was a very special Christmas.Not just the love of our brethren( which is special)it was also to show Jackie the love also.
God does work in different ways .Sometimes we humans do not understand.I have learned not to be so down on life's little problems.God will use these for our good.
