Scripture
I’ve cried so much I can’t see very well. I’m suffering deep down inside. My heart is broken because my people are destroyed. Children and babies are fainting in the streets of the city. They say to their mothers, “Where can we find something to eat and drink?” They faint like wounded soldiers in the streets of the city. Their lives are slipping away in their mothers’ arms.
~Lamentations 2:11-12
Quote
Sin not only brings destruction, it brings horror!
~Ya’akov

Of course I was a kid myself and figured he was exaggerating a bit. I didn’t realize until I was grown that Daddy witnessed a horror that I knew nothing about. No, I have not seen a child starve and don’t want to. When I read today’s text, I thought about all those precious kids on the stage Sunday night and how horrible it would be if we couldn’t give them something to eat. Jeremiah saw things worse than WWII. He saw babies literally dying in their mother’s arms but there was nothing to eat. I always had a tough time when our kids wanted to stop at McDonald’s and me with no money. Of course we have never been on the brink of starvation.

- Big night last night. Kelvin Callahan invited June and I to his E-Tech Christmas Party and we loved it. Kelvin has given me a part time job which is an answer to prayer. We played BINGO after supper and June and Joe David both won twice while Lori, myself and Mr. Shaneyfelt did not win a time. I thought sure June would offer me one of her prizes since she won twice but I was wrong. I drank four glasses of Tea with caffeine. I will be up for two days.
