2 Timothy 2: 14

Of these things, put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit but to the subverting of the hearers.

If your perception is off, you feel very uncomfortable. I just got a new pair of glasses, and my perception is off as far as judging the distance between steps. My optometrist said it would take a while to get familiar with my perception while wearing my new glasses.

We all get our perception out of kilter now and then. We do not think about a situation before we react to it. Never speak or act out on a problem until you have thought it over for some time. Sometimes we only hear what we want, which throws off the entire perception of the whole conversation.

Perception can be in the eye of the beholder; where one person sees a shack, the other person can see a mansion. Perception is based on age, life experiences, values, inner core, and relationship with God.

If you do not have an excellent relationship with God, your perception of everyone and everything worth pursuing will ultimately be off. God quickly puts your inner core or being back into its proper perspective so you can lead a good and productive life.

Our perception of people can be way off. We do not know what people have been through in their lives. We all want the same thing to be accepted by others for what we are and how we are. As people, we come from all races, nationalities, religions, sizes, backgrounds, and values.

We must have the proper perception of God to understand and relate to all the different people we will meet in our lifetime. God, please let us be more understanding with people every day of our lives.

Maggie, my outdoor cat, was very impressed with her serving of Solid Gold. Onyx quickly ate his Solid Gold with Chicken Liver and Goat Milk. He never passes on a healthy meal or snack from Chewy.Com.

Kohl ate his Solid Gold the minute I put it before him. Onyx is Kohl’s Father, so Kohl also knows a healthy snack or treat when he sees it and smells it.

Mr. Gray, Russ, Hilford, and Bella ate up their serving of Solid Gold in no time to spare. Cali finally showed up and got some of the Solid Gold with Chicken Liver and Goat Milk from Chewy.Com. I have fed Solid Gold products to my cats, and they have always seemed to like their products.

Maggie’s sister ate her Solid Gold inside of a building. She always puts her paw out, grabs some of the food with her foot, and licks it off. Solid Gold passed her taste test. She went over to the Solid Gold and ate it completely. Solid Gold With Chicken Liver And Goat Milk from Chewy.Com passed her paw test.

If You Are a True Christian You must Walk the Walk and Talk the Talk

If You Are a True Christian You Must Walk the Walk and Talk the Talk.

1 Comment on If You Are a True Christian You Must Walk the Walk and Talk the Talk.

Psalms 16 : 3 But to the saints that are in earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.

A lot of people profess the fact that they are Christians. When they are in Church, they act like Christians. When they leave the Church, they work in every way that would not exemplify how a faithful Christian would work.

People that tell you they are a good Christian are the ones to watch out for. They do not know how to walk or talk the talk of a faithful Christian.

A genuine Christian helps people out every day of the week. They visit people in rest homes, hear the cries of the needy, help with mission work, and offer prayers for seasick people who lift them personally and spiritually.

Being there for someone sick in the hospital may be a matter of life or death for them. When you are very ill, you need someone to visit you, lift you personally and spiritually, and let you know that you are loved so you can survive another day in the hospital. A genuinely caring person or group of people can save someone’s life with a simple act of kindness.

Think about how you would want to be treated if you were down and out, and then you will treat that person in a proper Christian manner. Lift people and do not put them down. Lend a helping hand to people whenever and however you can. Someday someone will be lending you their helping hand.

A genuine Christian is not a fair-weather friend. They are your friend consistently and constantly. A true friend does not put constrictions on your friendship.

Christians do not advertise they are Christians because they don’t have to. Christians work behind the scenes bringing love, faith, peace, and joy to everyone they meet. Christians spread God’s beautiful works every day of the week.

A Stray Cat With Digestive Issues

1 Comment on A Stray Cat With Digestive Issues

A stray cat came to a friend’s house. She was very friendly, and she sat on their lap. She would gently rub across their legs. They gave her to me, and I named her Faith because I have Faith that she will get better. She could not keep any food down for about five days. She must have kept a small amount of the tuna and salmon I was feeding her. She had healthy-looking bowel movements. I was very concerned for her. My friends said that they would pay my vet bill. I took her to my vet to be tested for feline leukemia; luckily, that test returned negative. She also had a whole battery of blood tests. I have not yet received the test results since it takes one week to process them.

I had been feeding her the same dry cat food my other cats eat. She was so thin and emaciated that her stomach could not digest foods right from lack of food over a long period. I went to a pet store, and they suggested feeding her grain-free cat food. Faith has been able to keep all of her food down now. Her grain-free cat food is free from dyes and preservatives, and her stomach can digest it without any trouble. My vet said to keep on feeding her grain-free cat food.

I am sure she used to be a house cat someone no longer wanted or could not afford to keep. My vet said she was one year old. I had guessed her age to be about six months old. Poor Faith had to fend for herself for who knows how long. Faith would have starved to death had it not been for people intervening. As good stewards, we are to care for all of God’s crGod’sre,s tremendous and trim. I have Faith that Faith’s blood test will be OK and that I can provide her the loving home she desperately needs. Always have Faith.

Faith has now recovered from her ordeal. She has gained weight and has not vomited for over a month. With Faith, all things are possible. Faith has to be only the size of a mustard seed but can have huge rewards. Never lose Faith that things will get better.

Traveling in my Convertible

2 Comments on Traveling in my Convertible

I love traveling in my convertible. The wind blowing through my hair is relaxing and refreshing.

I have taken my convertible twice to Colorado. I drove through Estes Park, Lyons, and Boulder, Colorado. Taking pictures while you are traveling in a convertible is relatively easy. I pull over to the side of the road and bring my vision, and then I am on the road again quickly to my next photo opp. There are breathtaking mountain views in a convertible that you would miss if you were driving a sedan. I love the flat irons in Boulder, Colorado. I never tire of taking pictures of God’s wonderful majestic masterpieces that he has created for us to look at in Colorado and all over the World.

Sara and I were in my convertible recently in Ohio. The weather was perfect for our trip. We took pictures of wonderful old majestic lighthouses. You could see the lighthouses well in my convertible. Backing up in a convertible is very easy and safe because you do not have any blind spots with the top down.

We drove to Put-in-Bay and Kelleys Island before we got on our Ferry at each destination. The drive to this area was gorgeous. I loved looking at the fields of oats and the old windmills. Traveling in a convertible is a beautiful way to enjoy and see the great outdoors. You can hear the different sounds in nature that you would miss if you were driving in an ordinary car. I enjoy listening to the various birds that each different location has to offer.

My convertible works well for two people traveling. The back seat has no room for adults to sit in the back seat. I use the back set for extra storage while I am traveling. Do not miss God’s majestic Creation and tour in a convertible on your next travel adventure. I sold my convertible in 2022.

Bargain Hunting

I always go to the store manager if I want to ask for a lower price on the item I am interested in purchasing. The workers at the store never seem to have the authority to lower the cost of any items.

When I buy litter boxes or heated beds for my cats, I check out several places on the internet for the best price I can find on that particular item. Buy the heated cat beds out of season for the best possible price.

When I purchase carpet, I always buy a whole roll of carpet because there is more wiggle room for them to lower the price on the mat. I have a few rental homes, so I will you so that carpet rolls eventually. I always ask for a discount if an item is damaged in a store. Buying paint in five-gallon buckets will generally save you the price of at least one gallon of paint. When I purchase a car without a trade-in, I can keep from one thousand to two thousand dollars off their asking price. You can always sell your old car on your own and get more money than what the car dealer has offered you for your old car. If the car dealer does not negotiate on the price of the car, ask for a new set of tires for the vehicle you want to buy or an extended warranty on the car. They can purchase the tires at wholesale prices. You will likely get a new set of tires for the vehicle you want to buy from them.

Antique dealers will generally take 10 % off of their asking price. Furniture stores have taken 10 to 20 % off the new furniture in their store. Jewelry stores will typically take 20% off of their higher-priced items.

You can save a lot of money buying items online. You don’t have to spend money on gas for your car or waste time looking for the thing you want to buy from the store to store.

I hope this will help you save money on your future purchases down the road.

Cats and Accidents

I have had many cats get run over by cars throughout the years. Most of the time, it has been young kittens. Kittens will sit on a car’s tires shortly after the vehicle has been driven. The tires on the vehicle are still warm, and the kitten thinks it has a warm area to take a long nap. I have also had cats sleep on the motor of a car.

We had a tenant run over four of our lovely kittens simultaneously. There was a kitten on each one of his tires. My Mother gathered the dead kittens, and my Father gave them a burial service.

An older or sickly cat will also sleep on tires or in the engine compartment of a car. The engine is warm, and they are cold from an illness. When someone starts the car, the unfortunate cat will suffer the consequences.

Several outdoor cats were run over shortly after I had them neutered. They got run over about three months after they were fixed. I never had another outdoor Tom sterilized again after that experience.

I had a Mother cat by the name of Trisha. Trisha was a perfect and intelligent Mother cat. All of the kittens Trisha had in her life never got run over. Before Trisha crossed to the other side of the road, she would look both ways at least three times and then cross over to the other side. Trisha taught all of her kittens her road-crossing skills.

I watched Elite, one of Trisha’s kittens, crossing the road. She used all of the skills of road crossing that her Mother had taught her.

Several generations later, I gave Trisha’s kittens to a friend who lives on a busy highway. I am glad to say they also have learned Great Grandma Trisha’s road-crossing skills.

I hope none of your cats ever get run over by a car.

Memorable Kittens in My Life

No Comments on Memorable Kittens in My Life

I have had many kittens born on my farm in my lifetime. Particular kittens have stood out more than others because of their character and actions.

I had a tiny black female kitten born on my farm in the early summer. She was bright around cars and avoided them at all costs. She would always walk under your feet, and I feared I would step on her and kill her. She remained tiny for her age. I placed an ad under giveaways in my local newspaper, and a lovely young couple came and adopted her. I called them about a year after they had adopted her to see how she was doing. They said they loved her so much they had adopted another cat to keep her company. I also inquired about her size. They told me she has fully grown and is the size of most female cats. I was thrilled my kitten got a loving and caring home.

Blacknose was a beautiful tortoiseshell kitten. She would follow me around the farm and wait for the school bus to take me to school. In her adult life, she would catch and kill garter snakes.

One of my tortoise shell kittens would sit on my shoulder while I painted the farm buildings. She was a very loving and affectionate kitten. When she was about a year old, she got run over by a pickup truck. I missed her dearly.

Midnight was a black kitten. He liked to follow my Father around the farm when he was feeding our pigs. One day Midnight, he jumped on my Father’s shoulder at five in the morning. My Father jumped, and to his relief, he discovered Midnight had jumped on his shoulder and not some wild animal.

One Himalayan kitten was born on my farm; she was very gentle and kind. All the kittens on my farm are part Siamese, Himalayan, Maine Coon, and domestic short hair.

I have had so many memorable kittens born on my farm throughout the years that there are too many to mention. My kittens have given me great joy in my life. My kittens have pleasured those who have adopted them over the years. I am very thankful for my kittens, who have become wonderful and loving adult cats to share my life with.
