Racing
I have had a "quiet" week filled with appointments and organization. I feel that I have been racing around the house, fast puttering, really, and trying to get in line for classes to begin on Monday. I've still got quite a bit to get waylaid, and I will not be totally ready for houseguests this weekend. They are good friends, and understand...
I've had a week of sadness, as well, as my friend grieves the loss of her husband.
We are all watching for the eternal bridegroom to appear for us, his bride, and that is what keeps us going and gives us hope.
The Messiah is coming.
Why does all of humanity wait for the Messiah?
Because it is in our hearts.
God gave Himself, a sacrifice, for our sins that we may be with Him forever.
Why would anyone choose hell?
Blessed Hope
Titus 2:13

First Post on my New Computer
I've been working with a Chrome Book for the last few years, not thinking I needed a computer for my blogging. Sometimes I pondered the storage aspect, but it really didn't matter.
Last fall, my first semester in graduate school, I learned that I had to do voice over recorded power point presentations for two of my classes! My Chrome Book didn't have that capability, so my BIG Christmas present this year was a new/used thinkpad.
I confess that getting a new device always throws me for a loop, but we must keep up.
Here we go!
If you have read the previous post by Geri Ungurean with Thomas Littleton's letter I urge you to think about what is really happening within "the Church" to prepare for the takeover of the Anti-Christ.
People who promote "Social Justice" (as I heard recently---watch out when ANY word qualifies Justice!) are being duped into the global scheme by the Prince of the Power of the Air himself.
I have been sounding the warnings here on Corgi Hollows for YEARS, but even so people I knew and know have been sucked into the whole movement, lock, stock, and barrel.
There comes a time when only prayer can have any impact on the closed hearts and ears of those who will not hear.
I'm learning that. It's such a hard lesson. You want to shake people, but you can't.
We've all been taken in by the people named in the article, some more than others.So much of the shibboleth is spoken that we assume the best.
It's like Brownies with feces baked into them.
You can't see it, but it is there, and you know it's terrible for you.
WATCH OUT, Children.
The hyper-grace movement, which does not believe in repentance, has hijacked most of post modern Christianity. I know this personally. It's shocking that so many so-called believers do not believe in obeying the commands of Christ.
The evangelical church in America and Europe is cavorting down the yellow brick road toward abortion, Islam, homosexuality, and globalism.
Blindness. Blindness.
Bastions of evangelicalism are weakened with compromise on the tenets of the faith: Biblical inerrancy, infallibility, holiness.
We see the fruit of such thinking as our society turns against God and welcomes/legitimizes sin.
Sin. Paganism. Occultism. Murder.
Once those were horrifying words.
No longer. The church has embraced them.
Come out from her, Oh my people! Come out and live!
Believe me, dear ones. I'm studying globalism for a degree right now. Peter Drucker and his influence is beyond belief: an atheist/communist who has tainted the church and the entire structure of public institutions as we know them.
The agenda to take over the world has been achieved right under our noses.
I'm not kidding, and I'm not overstating. We are on the cusp of a global order, global religion, global society.
Look up, our blessed hope is Christ's glorious appearing, and it cannot be far off.
Love those you meet, those lost. Love those who are deceived. They will not listen to you. They will argue if you try to warn them.They are lost unless the Holy Spirit transforms them.
Those dear ones in your family and your church who have no clue that they are entirely immersed in a globalist cabal----pray for them.
Share Littleton's article with them. Maybe it will let a crack of light in.
Praying with you.

I don't know about you and your holidays, but this past month of December has been one for the ages for me and my husband. Add to the list above car failures---you've got quite the time.
And we all survived, I think!
First and foremost our dear friends from Munich came to us on the 19th of December. They celebrated the holidays with us and a pretty strenuous schedule! I had planned the agenda for people in their 30's, not late 50's. By the end of the two weeks (they left on January 4) we were all exhausted!!
We are forever young in our minds and hearts! Our bodies aren't able to keep up.
We tried to show them our little world here in Minnesota. The weather cooperated and we had many days of travel and sightseeing. We shopped, too. Lots of shopping. They had to buy another suitcase/trunk to take everything home!
Duluth, Iowa, and Wisconsin were all included. Our family and friends helped to entertain them, and we are so glad for the memories made.
Our friend, Paul, asked for train things to see. We got them to Duluth, to the train museum there, with a bonus seeing the light show they have up there during this Christmas season. They rode the Amtrak from St. Paul to Winona, and a bonus light rail trip from the airport to the Mall of America. Trains were a recurring theme for the two weeks!
In Iowa we celebrated a second Christmas with my husband's family. Delicious food and good company.
We stopped at the St. Paul Cathedral, the Mill City Museum, and we drove around both St. Paul and Minneapolis. Shopping took time, both for all the groceries we needed to make Schnitzel, Roulladen, and a healthy Czech soup to fight the germs---plus all of the items to take with them back to Germany: Vikings paraphernalia, clothes, gifts. I cannot even remember all of the things we did! Everyday was a new adventure.
My last final was due on the day our friends arrived. I had no time to clean the house, but we all managed. Heidi is a super organizer. She has a very important job with a very important car company in Germany, and she used her supervisor skills to get our house in ship-shape pretty quickly. I hated to see her go...She has the energy of 10 women!!
I did okay on two of my classes. The other one not so much. I'm registered for spring semester, and I think I can manage better. That is the plan. Barring grief, overwork, and a zillion other life twists and turns I'm hoping for more balance.
I'm looking forward to stepping out in to the new year, the twenties, with the knowledge that Christ sustains and holds us. In Him we live and breathe.
Have you noticed that you really have absolutely NO CONTROL over anything in your life, not even the next second? You had no control over your last second either. You breathe because God let you.
God is love.
As we watch the hoards of humanity, billions, seek to survive this existence on planet earth, in Australia, in Europe, in Africa, in South America---I am always struck by the immensity of God's love for each and every creation He fashioned.
He knows you. He loves you. He loves me, and the crazy days just behind us were all in His hands.
My brother and his wife are in His hands. I can't help but think about the sad events that touched our family in 2019. I know God has them under control too.
Right now I am keeping two very close friends in my heart and prayer. They are both losing family members to brain cancer. The end is very near. I attended a lovely funeral for a very beloved older man that was distantly related to me yesterday. Loss is inevitable and ever-present. How do we face it? We get up in the morning and thank the Lord for each new day, waiting on Him and His presence as we work through the motions and annoyances of each hour.
This morning I sang again at the nursing home. "There's a Sweet Sweet Spirit in this Place." I told the old folk that my last months were held together supernaturally by the Holy Spirit. It was evident everyday that God's love enabled the spirit to be sweet and loving, giving energy and power to do what needed to be done.
This is what it is to follow Christ. His yoke is easy, and his burden is light.
Pray for those who do not know Jesus. Christ, resurrected from the dead, is the only answer to the world's suffering.
There is no other way.
"I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father but by me."
Hello, 2020! What will the twenties bring? Hope. Blessed Hope, I hope. (Titus 2:13)
Come Lord Jesus! Maranatha!
