Sleepong. I didn’t need any formal training for it. This is something that had come naturally for me. Through the years, I have learned to perfect it. From college days when I needed to stay up to complete assignments. To when after marriage, then having babies with those 2am feedings. To now 40 hour work weeks to after work chores at home in the garden. I can be asleep before hubby AS my head hits the pillow.
My drawing of Tom Cruise.
Love to draw, I find it relaxing . This subject I did have formal training in. Art school and then college to graduation, to freelance work.
Growing our groceries.
I tell you there is nothing like getting your hands directly in the soil. And the taste of your fresh veggies is something that is so blessed to be able to do it and then do it.
My faith in GOD.
My main subject is faith. I am not perfect. None of us mankind is for we all are sinners. All of us have freedom of choice as what faith we want. How much. And in who. I will tell you my faith in the one and only true living GOD of all heaven and earth and all creation.
My faith is in constant development each day for the better. This is my choice, what I want and need. GOD and JESUS and the HOLY Spirit give me such comfort on a level that I can not explain. I welcome it, need it, and live for it! I thank GOD for it!
I grew up listening to Black Gospel music. All by various artists. Those from whom my elders listened to, to my generation of artists.
My husband grew up listening to artists like Steve Green.”People need the LORD.” I’ve never heard of this singer before we got married. He’s good. But not the style I prefer, Mr. Green is under Christian music.
The genre of music my husband listens to. I understand this is “Christian genre” music . There is a distinct difference from Black Gospel music and Christian music.
There are some songs when you listen to the words you will say, ” Yeah, me too!”. Like Pastor Deitrick Haddon’s song “Well Done.” I don’t know anyone who wants to go to hell. If you don’t make it into heaven, then that’s where you’re going.
Even though “Well Done” and “Every Praise” are oldies, they are good oldies. Why not give every praise to our beloved FATHER GOD?
This song by Hezekiah Walker makes me smile. They are Praising GOD right out loud. A song like this never gets old to me.
This music can pick you up and make you tap your foot, taking your mind off of the negative issues around you.
Psalms 105:2
“Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works.”
King James Version (KJV)
Praise and glory be to GOD for all of the blessings that HE gives us mankind.
The gift of JESUS HIS son! Gospel music will have us praising and tapping our foot at the same time.
Today , I was looking for ideas on some gardening in containers I have not thought of before. Living in zone 5b, there is not too many things that will survive the winter frost here in Upstate NY. Many of us lost some of our fruit trees and that was not good.
I did come to a YouTube video on VOX regarding growing flowers and veggies in vacant lots in downstate Brooklyn NY though. From what I have found that was interesting to me that there were 2 women who wanted to add trees and beautify the land with plants and veggies for those who needed food.
It is good to see people helping each other, especially when it comes to getting food to eat. Above is a picture of Lindas roof top garden. Making New York City greener!
Hattie Carthan was an activist to grow tree in the area of brooklyn that was red lined by real estate. There were less trees in the poor areas than the wealthier areas. She helped to plant trees to better the air quality.
If you have time look into how these two women have started a trend of using the vacant lots in the area where they lived. There are many areas all over the earth that has space to grow food if given the supplies and knowledge to do so. It is hard work, but if you enjoy gardening and showing others how to grow food you all will be filled with joy in the end result.
This is a picture of the Liz Christy Garden.
Romans 12:20
‘If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.‘
James 2:15-16
‘Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it?
This may not seem like much to talk about. When you see the rising cost of groceries today, and how people need food, it put ideas in my mind too to help feed people. Like with the extra food you cant store or preserve have a free stand for those to get food. Give some to the elderly. Homeless shelters if you can. What ever it is that you are lead to do by GOD.
I do hope you all are well. And that our beloved GOD is continuing to watch over you all at all times. In this day and age people are still into the idols as they were back in the day of Moses. By not trusting in the one and only true living GOD who created them. They create a god with their own hands and bow down to worship it. Nonsense. And it continues today!
What took my interest was the Shroud of Turin. People claiming to believe this is what our beloved JESUS was wrapped in at the time of HIS death here in heaven. They have these images of a person whose face is on the linen cloth.
Because I was going by the word of GOD in Exodus 20:4 “You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth. – New American Standard Version (1995)
If we are told not to create an idol or any image from heaven (or assume that this would be the face of JESUS), then why would our beloved JESUS allow this Shroud of Turin to happen?
Exodus 20:4
“Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:”
King James Version (KJV)
So I did some research on this just from the Bible and some Google sites. And this is what I came up with also
Forensic research (once again) suggests the Shroud of Turin is fake
The new research is in line with numerous previous studies that have concluded that the Shroud is not authentic. Earlier carbon dating work has determined that it dates to 1260 to 1390; Jesus is generally believed to have died in the year 33. And a blue ribbon panel called the Turin Commission concluded in 1979 that stains on the garment are likely pigments, not blood, while textiles experts and art historians have suggested that the materials and images are not from the right era.
As early as 1390, about 35 years after the Shroud first emerged in France, Pierre d’Arcis, the Catholic bishop in Troyes, wrote to Pope Clement VII that the shroud was “a clever sleight of hand” by someone “falsely declaring this was the actual shroud in which Jesus was enfolded in the tomb to attract the multitude so that money might cunningly be wrung from them.”
“Blood analysis: Chemical and biological testing proves that there are blood stains on the Shroud, of blood type AB and antigen group MNS. Moreover, there are no paint pigments of any kind on the Shroud—eliminating the possibility that the Shroud is some sort of supremely clever artistic forgery.”
I was trying to understand what this was when I heard about a Pastor mentioning it. from what I understand the blood type is not even from the area where JESUS walked on the earth. It is more from an Arian nation of Caucasian people.
Antigens present in AB+ also play a vital role in plasma donations. While AB+ blood has both A and B antigens on the red blood cells, neither of the antigens are present in the plasma. This makes AB+ the universal plasma donor, meaning that AB+ plasma can be transfused into patients who have any other ABO blood type. The AB blood group is believed to be the newest blood type. The AB blood group is the result of the intermingling between Caucasian (commonly group A) and Mongolian (commonly group B) people. For these reasons, the AB blood group is found in low percentages throughout the European population, but appears more commonly within the sub-continental Indian population. This was found at this site: https://www.carterbloodcare.org/blog/2014/12/22/my-blood-type-is-ab/#:~:text=The%20AB%20blood%20group%20is%20the%20result%20of%20the%20intermingling,the%20sub%2Dcontinental%20Indian%20population.
Now I will say that we all are free to check this out on our own, as to if this man made cloth with an image of a man is real. I feel it is real as to it being made and there is an imoression on this shroud. But I do not feel it is of JESUS at all.
The image is unmistakable, but the actual evidence for the Shroud’s authenticity is less so. That’s not for lack of trying. Serious studies of the Shroud date back to the 1970s, when multiple groups of scientists from various backgrounds conducted a series of technical examinations of the Shroud and the image on it. Their findings sparked academic debates and subsequent studies that would go on for decades.
Today, the bulk of evidence indicates that the Shroud originated sometime around the Middle Ages, and was created by human hands. Despite this, there’s still no consensus on how, exactly, the image was made, leaving the door open to a number of fringe theories and speculations.” By Nathaniel ScharpingApr 3, 2023 4:00 PM discover magazine
1 John 5:21
“Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.”
King James Version (KJV)
We all need to make sure of the things that man say is true or not by backing up what they have said with the Bible. We will see the true face of JESUS when it is time. And something like the Shroud of Turin is not it. I just ask that we all be careful as what we choose to believe. For JESUS will be coming at anytime from this second on. We need to be ready.
