JOY, HALLELUJAH TODAY ON THE HOME FRONT SHOW!
Before every Friday at 2:00 p.m Mountain Time I go through the thoughts: this is dumb, not any good, no one cares, not helping anybody, it’s a waste of time, blah, blah, blah.
After 3:00 every Friday I go through the thoughts: that was great, that was a good show, the Lord showed up and showed off, joy, hallelujah, Amen.
Today’s show will be about joy, among other things. The Holy Spirit is speaking up right and left about joy, and today He’ll be speaking through my special callers, and through me as well.
I’ve got one person who’s on fire about changing your “reality” to a true REALITY via what thoughts you choose to speak, and choosing to speak TRUTH via knowing the truth. Yep, tht truth that sets us free.
FREEDOM. Life. Joy, Hallelujah. Amen.
Do you know anyone who could use a little joy today, who would appreciate the help God’s dealing out today at 2:00 p.m. on the Home Front Show?

Pentecost, and all Things Richly to Enjoy
Taking a walk in the cool not-quite-summer breezes the other morning an old question popped into my mind: Which of the senses would you miss the most, were you to lose it?
Loss of sight would mean no more color, no more iridescent, translucent, sparkling, proof-of- God color. No more looking into the eyes of my beloveds, no more laughing at a child’s guileless smile.
Not good.
Loss of smell would mean I couldn’t smell this sage I’m crushing in my fingers and thereby being lifted, transported. Same for the juniper, pine, spruce, fir and cedar on the heavenly breeze.
Loss of smell would mean roast beef and vegetables and gravy and hot buttered homemade bread would be irrelevant. Also not good.
Loss of smell would mean I wouldn’t notice the clove on John’s breath when he kissed me.
A kiss. A touch. Not being able to feel the kissing face, or hugged neck, or the touch of a hand of another of God’s children.
Hearing. A marmot is sounding the alarm because the dogs are busy sniffing out his rock pile, and the spring snowmelt has made the creek practically roar as it rushes out of its banks, but not above my favorite creekside blessing rock.
And I couldn’t hear His praises sung from the depths of the hearts of His children in church this morning, on Pentecost Sunday. This thought makes me catch my breath from the sudden glitch of alarm, the actual physical ache, in my spirit. But, on this day of all days, I am choosing not to think about “what ifs” and possible losses. I am thinking of my utter inability to even begin to grasp the magnitude of the Love of God. This is the sense I want to exercise, increase, develop. This is the realm into which I want to delve more deeply. More richly.
He has given us all things richly to enjoy. I call the dogs off and they happily dash off to the next thrill, all senses alert. He has given us all things richly to enjoy. This thought again wafts into my mind and I think of how all the senses will be alive and blessing me at once if I simply take this walk with a loved one, sit by the creek eating roast beef on homemade bread with also homemade mayo, and watch steam swirl up out of a thermos of tea as we sip and smile at each other. And as we see on each others’ faces peace. How beautiful, how marvelous. Oh, Lord, our Lord, how majestic is Your Name in all the earth.
In all the earth. He has given us so much to enjoy. Let us not, in pursuits of manmade enjoyments and entertainments, forgo, forget, become blind to, the wonderful world He has made. In all of our seeking, with all of our senses, let us tune into Him. Let us daily live a life of Pentecost. Amen.
Getting Real with the Velveteen Rabbit at 2:00
The rabbit was real because the boy loved him. Pondering that and the chameleon tendencies of so many of us, I realized this: The acceptance of God’s love is what makes us real. The understanding, reaching for, TAKING of God’s love, indeed the very becoming of love, makes us real.
My thoughts wandered to antique cars, purple Cadillacs in particular. Definitely real cars. When we see such a car we exclaim, “Look at that! Did you see that?”
Our hearts yearn for the real. We are drawn to it. Because real implies honesty, truth, reliability. God’s love.
Join me today at 2:00 pm Mountain Time on the Home Front Radio Show for further exploration into becoming real.
And oh, so much more.

It’s a New Day in the Good Ol’ USA
Today on the Home Front Show we’re gonna rant happy, give God glory, get in the face (gently) of those “Christian” conservatives who can only see the negative, who give what Satan’s up to way more facetime than the new mercies of God in this new day!
We’ll begin with Helen Keller’s assertion that, “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing,” then discuss the adventure of home schooling, and end with John Parker’s thoughts on the adventure of turning what Satan intends for evil to good via instantaneous, weapons-grade forgiveness.
And of course, much more, like the Domestic Bliss of becoming a Fermentista, and the Three P’s of Power, and a really tough Challenge of the Week for us all.
Make a plan and call a friend – and be blessed.

Psalm 91 for Trump? But It’s Easier to Rant!
I was wide awake at 4:00 a.m., and began praying for my children. Then I got out my Bible and prayed Psalm 91 over them. Next I turned on the radio to hear someone say, “I don’t know if he can overcome this or not.” I assumed they were talking about Trump and turned it OFF.
What rot! What, God heard our cry and got Trump in office, but He can’t keep him there?
Time to pray Psalm 91 over Trump, Pence, their families, the entire administration, the entire Body of Christ, and over America.
Trump is not our answer, our source, our solution, but he was put in office because of God’s people crying out for mercy, and we are to pray for him and all other “leaders” that we may “lead quiet and peaceable lives.” And because people getting beaten up and eaten up need prayer! “Pray for us, brethren,” Paul said to the Church..
We are to be the true leaders, the spiritual leaders., the prayer warriors. We are NOT to be whiners, doubters, naysayers, lily-livered, fearful, nincompoops. We are to take dominion!!!!
We, America, are to be that shining city on a hill, that beacon of hope, and that place wherefrom the Good News of Jesus goes out. And so we have always been, and are, and will always be.
“Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered.”
P.S. Tune in today, Friday the 19th, at 2:00 Mountain Time to hear a positive rant, some homeschooling news from Canada, how you’ll never go higher than your love walk, what to do when family members take you to hell with their lack of all reason, domestic bliss thoughts and much more, including Real Man John Parker’s take on “going there” when the sticky wicket of offense is offered.

Paul said, “Pray for us.”
“”Pray for us,” Paul asked believers. “Pray for us,” I saw not once, not twice, but three times in a row this morning in my Bible study.
I open my eyes each morning and give Him thanks (not only if I feel like it) and then as I begin my Bible reading I ask for a word. So, I may not have the exercise habits and the writing habits I wish for, but this one thing I do. I begin my day with Jesus.
I commune with Him and I expect and receive responses. So often it goes like this morning. He tells me more than once and more than twice so I can’t miss it.
I got the message, or the message’s beginning: There are some people on the front lines in ministry who need prayer, who need strength for the arms that hang down.
The joy of the Lord is our strength, the Word tells us. So, I pray for joy for them, and so forth. A few people come to mind and I press in for them, then go to John and we pray in agreement.
Then comes more revelation and more word, such as the word “refreshment”, which also stood up and waved at me three times. As John and I discussed this, as well as the negative reactions of two special people to something we said, we see they are the ones who REALLY need our prayers, and whatever else God leads us to say and do for them. “I think,” I said to John, “they misunderstood us because they see and look at everything through the lenses of hurt and discouragement, Through woundedness, grief, and oh, such fatigue.
So we pray and beseech God for wisdom, for the right words and the deeds, and He answers us both. To me He imparts that oft-forgotten truth: lead with the love example. To John he says send an e-mail, or a card – one so full of grace and love and appreciation and thanks that our hearts cannot be misunderstood.
“Pray for us.” Pray with us. God never intended any of us to walk these paths alone, and one of the enemy’s biggest pressures is the pressure to make us feel we are alone, forgotten, unloved.
Prayer is love. Prayer in person is love on steroids. I try to emulate a famous minister lady who says when she sees someone in the grocery store and they ask for prayer she stops right then and there and prays with them. “Let’s pray!” is much more comforting than, “I’ll pray for you . . . (someday, sometime, maybe, probably not).”
Yesterday, knowing my dad was in a place he detests being, doing a hard and difficult thing, I said to my daughter, “Call your grandpa and tell him we just prayed for him (we had just prayed for him) and that we love him.”
Every time, any time anyone is on your heart, take it as an unction to pray.
Pray for you, for me, for people in high places and people in low places. Pray for the Body of Christ.
“Pray for us.”
