Long time since my last entry. A lot has happened.

In July of last year my world was turned upside down, I lost the love of my life ( my husband ) unexpectedly to a massive heart attack. The worst part of it was, he wasn't at home. He was a truck driver and was sitting in a truck stop parking lot all alone. I often wonder if he would of been home could I have gotten him help in time to save him.

Life changed drastically, being disabled, I've had to learn to live on a meagerly income, I don't even care about that to be honest, I just miss him. 

Then we all know covid hit and the changes it brought with it. Being high risk my life changed even more. I tried taking a part time job to help support myself, That was short lived when I fell and broke my shoulder and wrist. That was 2 months ago, I still have no use of that arm and am doing physical therapy twice a week. I go for more x-rays again on the 21st to see how it is progressing and determine if surgery is needed.

During all of this I've had great support from my friends, family and my church family. They have stood by my side, prayed with and for me. And the emotional support has been life saving. It's times like these you appreciate the people God placed in your life.

This is all horrible stuff, but it is my testing. I have hope in Him. I will come through all of this by the grace of God, I rely heavily on Him, especially all alone in the wee hours of the night when sleep evades me, He is my constant companion, my rock, my hiding place.

Whats Happening to the Church?

So many churches in our area are not offering the services they used to. Some of them are only doing Sunday morning worship. They no longer offer Sunday School, or Sunday evening worship or even Wednesday night. I remember as a child we had so many activities going on at the church that we kids always had something to do. We had a group called sunbeams for the little girls that was always doing something that kept us busy especially during the summer. The older girls had stuff going on for them too. Stuff that molded them into responsible adult Christians.
And what on earth happened to Revival week?
I live in the so called Bible Belt in South Alabama so this is sad to me, if it is happening here, how bad is it getting every where else?
Prayer isn't allowed in schools, Bibles aren't allowed in schools and now even our churches are declining to the point they are barely existing on 1 service per week. No extra activities!
Now granted I know you don't have to GO to church to serve God or to worship Him, but going to church is what helps me stay FOCUSED on God. I NEED it to stay grounded in Him.
And we have the audacity to ask what is happening to our nation, our world? We are taking God out of all of it! Wake up people, we need God, we need our churches to keep us focused on God.
Ok rant over since the phone rang and I lost track of where I was headed with this rant.
