This was brought to my attention today! I cried when I read it. This brought about memories that I wrote about in my book that were never brought to the authorities but hidden within the church.

And Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God. Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.-Mark 11:22-24 Copyright © 2018 M.E. Masterson All Photographs Copyright © 2018 M.E.

John 12:12-19   King James Version (KJV) 12  On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, 13  Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord. 14  And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written, 15  Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt. 16  These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him. 17  The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record. 18  For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle. 19  The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceiv...

3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful,  and  hating one another.  4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,  5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;  6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;  7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.  8 This is  a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men. Titus 3:3-8 Copyright © 2018 M.E. Masterson All Photographs Copyright © 2018 M.E. Masterson

We picked green beans out of a friends garden the other night. Wahoo! Never turn down free goods. Said we could have em if we want to pick em! Heck ya!! A heaping 4.5 gallon bucket full we picked....more coming next week! Tutorial: First you want to "tail" and "snap" your green beans. These were pole beans so they had "strings" on them too. In the bean world that is the little extra greenery that goes down the dividing line of the green bean. It is a little tough when canned so I take them off. I cut off any bad spots as well. After I get the whole mess done (thanks to Mountain Man, this did not take long), I give them a good rinsing in the bowl....or bucket if appropriate until all comes out clean. I swoosh or swirl them around with my hands in the water to give them a chance to rinse off. When I pour off the water I use a colander underneath while I am holding back the "dam" to catch any strays that fall through. Tr...
