March 7, 2026 @ 16:08 Good afternoon family & friends❣️ Today is a very special day for me and I have been celebrating it ever since I got up this morning. You will notice that all of my morning updates are of a spiritual nature, and most refer to heaven. That's where I'm going when my time comes! And I have that assurance because 50 years ago today I said NO! to the world and YES! to Jesus. Today is my spiritual birthday, the day that changed my life forever - from that day through all of eternity. When I made that choice to follow Jesus I was instantly and dramatically changed, going from someone whose life went from one (usually profane and nasty) pleasure to the next, most of them having bad consequences...and going to Someone whose Spirit entered into my soul and gave me innocence, purity, and love. It was just like being struck by a bolt of lightning, so powerful and sudden that moment! All of my nasty vocabulary left my mind - I didn't even understand dirty jokes anymore! When I looked at the people around me, it wasn't with a derisive, critical and even mean eye - it was with a sense of lovingkindness and gentleness as the Lord used me. Whereas previously mentions of the Lord made me angry, now I craved His fellowship and His Word. Where I had had fear, it was gone and replaced with joy and peace and trust in my Father. And on and on it went. And goes! I have had times in my life where I started to stray off of His path for my life but He brought me back, repentant and thankful. The negativity that had surrounded and filled me for 19 years was instantly gone 50 years ago today as He changed me from the inside out, filling me with His presence and love. So I will continue to celebrate this day today - and forever. Heaven is my home and that heavenward mindset mentioned above will be part of me until I get there❣️🙌✝️🎶😆🥩🌿💐👴👵🐕🦺🦜
