WALKING BY FAITH I KEEP CLIMBING

THE VERY DAY I MOVED TO CALIFORNIA HENRY WAS ORDAINED TO PREACH      WALKING BY FAITH          In 1954, I made a trip with my family that took us to California from North Adams, Massachusetts in 10 days.   We arrived in Sacramento, California on July 9.   That very same William Henry Cash, Jr. was ordained at the Community Baptist Church, in Newell, CA.   The Klamath Falls Baptist Church had taken Henry under their wing, and he had begun helping them and also continuing with Student Missionary Council (Multnomah School of the Bible).   I am not sure about any other dates, but I do know that he was ordained there.            As a young woman of  21, I had attended one year of Bible College, and had worked for a while, trying to save up money to go to Bible School.    Then my grandmother and grandfather came back from the West - having settled in Sacramento, CA  with ...

GOD HAS A PATH LAID OUT FOR ME AND FOR YOU.            We need to let Him guide us.           Psalm 16.11  Thou will shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.           Here in this Primary School, my grandmother Lillias May Brewer taught for three years.   She was 26 when she married Forrest. He was about the same age.   She had a love for learning. This was the York Beach home that everyone loved and cherished.   I believe it is Lillias and Forrest on the porch here.   The story is that when Forrest's best friend asked him to be in his wedding at York Beach Maine, that when Forrest came, he KNEW beyond a shadow of a doubt that the bride's sister Lillias was a winner !  It was 1914 when Forrest married Lillias. My mother was born in 1915.  Here are photos o...

SPRING IS ALMOST HERE !  HAVE YOU NOTICED THE BIRDS CALLING OUT ?  WHEN THE TIDE COMES IN AND THE TIDE GOES OUT THERE IS MUCH FOR THEM TO FIND FOR FOOD. WALKING BY ONE STORE - NEXT TO IT WAS AN EMPTY LOT  WITH MUCH WATER IN IT.   IT WAS A TEMPORARY  "WETLAND"  TWO MALLARD DUCKS WERE ENJOYING THIS LITTLE BIT OF  POND THEY HAD FOUND.   TAKING THEIR TIME, THEY SILENTLY FLOATED ON THE "WETLAND"... Time has a way of eroding the beaches, and changing the landscape.   This photo was taken of a beach where the fine cottage people used to live in is now quite old, and left without anyone in it.     In the same way,  our circumstances change.   We can never go back to "what we were" or to "what used to be"....                      GOD NEVER CHANGES.     Things may change, people may change, but GOD never CHANGES.     ...

WALKING ON         Walking by homes and yards, I see the for-get-me-nots in the yards of some. When I lived in another place, I had a large lawn, in which I took these little plants  and put them into the grass to naturalize as part of the lawn.  Every Spring they would come up as lively little bright smiles of hope for the future.                 It has been a year since I last posted.    My revision hip surgery was successful.    The prognosis was that I would possibly be in the Nursing Home for 12 weeks.   I was in the Nursing Home for five weeks.    It amazes me that I am able to do what I can do.   With my walker, I am able to do many long distance things, such as going for a 40 minute walk - sitting and having coffee and soup in a little cafe, and then returning home to my place for another 40 minutes. And so, I am calling my walker CALEB.   ...
