All tyranny needs to gain a foothold ,is for people of good
conscience to remain silent.

Do you think God's mega -phone is ringing?with the world in such turmoil!!!!
Are you listening ,it is ringing loud & clear.
Poem By Judge Roy Moore of Alabama.
America the Beautiful, or so it used to be.
land of the Pilgrims' pride;I'm glad they'll never see.
Babies piled in dumpsters, Abortion on demand;
Oh sweet land of liberty; your house is on the sand.
Our children wonder aimlessly, poisoned by cocaine,
Choosing to indulge their lusts,when God has said abstain.
From sea to shining sea, our Nation turns away,
from the teaching of God's love, and a need to always pray.
We've kept God in our temples,how callous we have grown.
When earth is but His footstool,and Heaven is His throne.
We've voted in a government,that's rotting to the core,
Appointing Godless Judges,who throw reason out the door,
Too soft to place a killer,in a well desevered tomb
But brave enough to kill a baby ,before it leaves the womb.
You think that God's not angry,that our land's a moral slum?
How much longer will He wait,before His judgment comes?
how do we face our God,from whom we cannot hide?
what then is left for us to do,but sten this evil tide?
If we who are his children,will turn and pray;
Seek His Holy face,and mend our evil way;
Then God will hear from Heaven ,and forgive us of our sins,
He'll heal our sickly land,and those who live within.
BUT AMERICA THE BEAUITFUL ,IF YOU DONT,
THEN YOU WILL SEE,A SAD BUT HOLY GOD
WITH DRAW HIS HAND FROM THEE.
Judge Roy Moore --THANK YOU & I PRAY THAT AMERICA WILL
WAKE UP.MARGARET
My
Life
I shall be telling this with a sigh somewhere,
Ages and ages hence.Two roads diverged,
And I -I took the one less traveled by
And that has made all the difference.

Joe at age 12 yrs.
me at 12 yrs. old
Married at 15 & 18 yrs.
I saw Joe the first time in church,when I was nine yrs. old.I went home claiming
him as my boy friend.As time went on ,my cousin wanted me to baby sit,as it turned out she married Joe's brother,so I met
Joe again through them,which was several yrs. later.The Lord works in such wonderful ways.We dated 9mos.mostly going to church
,& he ask me to marry him in such an old fashion way,asking me to make tracks around his flour bin.That has been over
65 yrs ago,& we have never been sorry.We would love to see every young couple make that commitment,& do it for
a life time.There is nothing that is more important,than to stay in God's plan for your life ,And marriage is the most essential
of all of God's plans for our lives & the most fulfulling.
We will be married 67 yrs. September 25th.How God has blessed
us in so many ways. Margaret

A Glimpse Back To My Childhood!!
I was born & raised along the Ohio river ,in a little community,Where if you
didnt know them as friends ,they were
most of the time relatives. What a place to grow up.I went to a little two room school
house,with 4 grades in each room.My teacher who taught me the first 4 yrs. ,had taught my father before me.
Our home was a big house up on a hill above the Ohio River, there were Show Boats
going up & down the river,& lights at night would glisten ,as they went down the river .Music fill the air as they
went .
My childhood was so secure in my eyes,with all the people I loved all around me.So different
from the way life is today for so many children.
One of our special Sons --Phil
A Little History
of our marriage.
We rented a little potatoe house we paid $4.00 a mo. & lived there 6 months.The
potatoe house was where they stored potatoes .Since I was so young,it was like playing house.& I think I had a good start
on keeping a neat house..I have always loved & never felt I wanted to do any thing else.Any way we had family close by
& felt we had a support system. But we finally decided to come to California & it has been the best thing we ever
did.We rented in town for a few yrs. The Lord led us to a lovely area& our first nice home.Our kids were in wonderful
schools & most mothers stayed home, as I did.We lived there for 14 yrs.,& decided to get out in the country where
it was good for our kids & we could work in the soil.Well we bought the land ,which had Fig trees on it ,so we dug
the trees out by hand, a shovel & a pickup. We finally got to the point,where we could start building.We could see the
Lord working in all of it.So we have been here 40 yrs. & so blessed in God's little piece of land.Well the yrs. have
went so fast, our kids are all grown & gone to care for their families.We are by yourselves again, so I am still loving
those things that are dear to me ,& my wonderful husband who has been by my side through it all. This little note is anointed
to all those that read this,& can find that special path through God's world & find that path that we found through
life.God Bless You All. Margaret

Give
Me Your Flowers!!!
I would rather have one little rose,
from the garden of a friend,
Than to have the choicest flowers
When my stay on earth must end.
I would rather have a pleasant word,
In kindness said to me,
Than flattery when my heart is still.
And this life ceased to be.
I would rather have a loving smile,
from friends I know are true,
Than tears around my casket,
When this world I bid adieu.
Bring me all the flowers today,
Whether pink or white or red;
I'd rather have one blossom now
Than a truckload whem I'm dead.
The definition of Nihilism!!!!
A belief in nothing ,System seeking to over turn all
exsisting institutions.
Beware of wolves in sheeps clothing!!!!
(Note what is happening today)

Poem wrote by Darrell Scott, father of Rachel Scott, victim
of the Columbine High school shooting in Littleton,Colorado.
Your laws ignore our deepest needs.
Your words are empty air
You've stripped away our heritage,
You've outlawed simple prayer.
Now gunshots fill our classrooms,
And precious children die.
You seek for answers everywhere,
And ask the question "Why?"
You regulate restrictive creed .
And yet you fail understand,
That God is what we need!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Do You Love Him?
I knelt to pray but not too long,I had too much to do.
I had to hurry and get to work,for bills would soon be due.
So I knelt and said a hurried prayer,and jumped up off my knees
My Christian dutywas now done.my soul could rest at ease...
All day long I had no time,to spread a word of cheer.
No time to speak of Christ to friends,they'd laugh at me I'd fear
No time ,no time,too much to do,that was my constant cry,
No to give to souls in need,But at last the time,the time
to die
I went before the Lord,I came ,I stood with down cast eyes,
For in his hands God held a book,It was the book of life.
God looked into his book and said"Your name I cannot find"
I once was going to write it down...But never found the time'.
A Little
Faith & 50 Lbs. of lard!!
We had been married 3 yrs. ,when Joe's sister came back to Ky.& persuded us to go back to California
.In two wks. time ,we sold our house, furniture & told all bye & took off like we were going to the next town.I had
no idea we were going so far from family.It had to be the Lord leading us ,because we have never been sorry we came here.
We came with our personal belongings & 50 lbs. of lard,it was ration then ,what we would do with that
much lard ,only the good Lord knows.It was all packed in our 1930 Model A Ford,4 days after we got here ,we found out I was
pregnant with our first baby.
Little Treasures!
Our son Phil went to the Fresno Fair,when was a litte boy,
he was looking for a ring for his Mom, which was me.
He told the lady he wanted a ring for his old fashion Mom.
How many mom's have those old fashion rings yrs. later,I am
sure there are many Little Treasures.Here is mine ,which I have had at least 40 yrs.

Thoughts On The Poor
You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the weathy out of prosperity.What
one person receives without working for,another person must work for without receiving.No government can give anybody anything
that the government does not first take from somebody else.When half the people get the idea that they do not have to work
because the other half is going to take care of them, and the other half gets that it does no good to work because somebody
else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation. you cannot multiply
wealth by dividing it ."

IF WE EVER FORGET THAT WE ARE ONE NATION UNDER

Looking Back!!!!
I remember walking on hot dusty country roads,stopping in the shady spots to look for
tiny toads,and cool my shoeless feet in the darkness of the grass,and throw a rock at a can or piece of broken glass.
I waded in the diches ,chasing fish or a bull frog,and often caught a lizard as he napped
upon a log.
Played down in the storm pipes with water trickling through,and heard cars pass overhead,I
thought that they would come thru.
On the Ohio we grew up a long time ago,We saw her flood, and take the lives of friends
we used to know.We climbed the bluff's
swam the ponds, and walked up every hill,and no one in the world was like the kids of
Caseyville.
Now looking back is all we have, we dont have far to go.We look at pictures of
the past and friends we used to know,
and though we go back to that spot where we had played before,There's nothing there,it's
changed so much ,and gone foreever more.

Home
Our great grandchildren came up from Los Angeles to help their grandparents gather up
firewood.They drove up from
L.A. & their parents went to New York on a business trip.
They all got home about the same time after a week of being
gone,they were so excited,hugging each other saying " We're Home".
Our Eternal Home.
It brought to mind about our eternal Home.What a Joy to be Home.To see our Savior face
to face.Can you imagine what a homecoming that will be.Joe & I arent far from that Home Called Heaven,We want to
see all our loved ones there.Margaret
What Price Freedom
Our Nation would be an awful place,I think you would agree,
Without our friends and loved ones,and life in a land that's free.
Yet we take our life for granted,that God gives us every day.
While soldiers die that we might live,the great American Way.
Politicians in Washington,never give them what is due.
So I ask what price is freedom,For them ,for me ,for you?
Everytime our brave soldiers,go to fight for you and me,
Why not send a politician,so they could truly see.

The Journey in Life.
The Journey in life is filled with many adventures,
beginings and endings,
Our footsteps take many paths,there is always someone
walking in our footsteps. We need to try and take the right paths.
Sometime we fail but we have the choice to correct our path
and make a clearer one for those who follow.

Wasted Years !!!
Wasted years, Oh how long those years have been,
when there could have been so many wonderful memiores made.
Life is so short and so many tears have fallen, and the bottle
of tears is almost full. Margaret .
Spring has come once again ,look at my flowers.
Life's Scraps
When years elapse,it may perhaps
Delight us to review these scraps,
And live again mid scenes so gay
That time's rough hand has swept away.
And when the eye ,bedimmed with age,
Shall rest upon each treasured page,
Those pleasant hours which once were ours
Shall come again like autumn flowers,
to bloom and smile upon us here
When all things else seem sad and drear.
twill tune our hearts and make them sing,
And turn the autumn into spring.

Let your deeds ,follow your words!!
Bad Company ,corrupts good manners!!
The lord will guide you always;He will satisfy your needs
in a scorched land and will strenghten your frame,
You will be like a well watered garden.

you can be happy,but without Him and all else you will
