Revelations the Seals.......
Revelation 6 NIVPrint Listen
Revelation 5 • Chapter 6 • Revelation 7
The Seals
1I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, "Come!" 2I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.
3When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" 4Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other. To him was given a large sword.
5When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come!" I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. 6Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, "A quart[a] of wheat for a day's wages,[b] and three quarts of barley for a day's wages,[c] and do not damage the oil and the wine!"
7When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, "Come!" 8I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.
9When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. 10They called out in a loud voice, "How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?" 11Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and brothers who were to be killed as they had been was completed.
12I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, 13and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as late figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind. 14The sky receded like a scroll, rolling up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.
15Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and every slave and every free man hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains. 16They called to the mountains and the rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! 17For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?"

Winter wonderland in Colorado
It's a week before Christmas and all through our house, not a creature was stirring, oh except me with bronchitis, tonsillitis, and and sinus infection. I went to the doctor this morning. I will be at work tomorrow. I want to be there. I have two more days then 2 weeks off. Even tho I got this stuff from the little darlings I work with. I am on meds now so I'm going.
The pictures above, I took last Wednesday morning at work. The snow was lightly crystalizing on everything and so beautiful. Then the sky so blue. I grabbed a camera and went taking pictures. I got an early Christmas gift from Bob..A new wider angle lens for my cameras. I love it. Thanks Bob. I still need to get him a few more things. Ok gonna go rest....more soon.

OH CHRISTMAS TREE, OH CHRISTMAS TREE........
Current mood: confused
Category: Life
The Christmas tree is up, and the lights are on and I started putting decorations on. Yes, we broke down and bought a REAL tree. Bob set the tree up for me. He went to bed already. I put on the lights, and decorations. I have memories when my sisters and I and mom and dad put up the tree. What great memories. Those were the days. Man I miss my childhood this time of year. Dad put up the outside lights and the big, painted wood Santa. Mom carefully checked the glass ordaments and put them up. She would hand us girls the unbreakable ones. On Christmas Eve, she would sit by the window with Joey and I and pretend to see Santa across the sky. She'd say.."There he isn't." Ha ha mom. Or, "There he goes, did you see him?" Man, I miss those days. I hope I passed on some good memories to Molly from her childhood. We, her dad and I, really taught Molly that Jesus was the real reason for Christmas. It is HIS Birthday, not just, ok how many toys can we get her. Miss those days too. Christmas is children. Where I work, we can't celebrate it. . Very stupid. Can't sing Christmas carols, Can't do any art projects that have things to do with Christmas. . It really saddens me. I miss the Christian school I used to work at. But anyway, the tree is up and it smells so nice.
Such a beautiful time of year to me yet, so many of my friends are going through very hard stuff. My friend Becky has cancer. Yucky ol cancer. She wrote me today and I cried. What the doctor's just found. It's not her first time with this crap either. Please, please pray for my friend Becky. She lives in Florida right now but her heart is here in Colorado. I hope she can move back here soon. Then my friend Ana. Last week her Grandpa that she loved so much, took his own life. AAAGGGHHH. Why? Why? Why? Please keep prayin for Ana and her family. She is hurting but trying to be strong. He left a lot of family members with unanswered questions. I love you Ana. I love you Becky. God loves you....
Well, back to the tree. Gotta get it done. Oh and keep Josh in those prayers too. He deploys to IRAQ this month.. Angels over and around him 24-7. AMEN............Love, Gail

It's ABOUT JESUS...NOT SHOPPING..
.JPG)
Evil Kneivel has died. Oh no. Christmas is coming. I love what Christmas stands for Jesus' Birthday, not buy everything for everybody you know. But that is what it turns out to be. I do not like this time of year. Unless I could just buy learning toys for my grandson. Yes I am bitchy. This time of year when you don't get to 'BE' with your family. They are so far away. I checked Flights to IL. Ha ha. The airlines have you in a strong hold. I don't have one decoration up this year. I priced real Christmas trees, $39.99 for a dead tree I will throw out in 4 weeks. Holiday spirit? I guess I don't have any this year. Bob is home and we went shopping, He bought "US" a set of Rachael Rays cookware. You know the non stick ones with the cool Oranges handles. It was his idea. Guess he didn't like the old ones that didn't balance on the stove. Ha.
Bob is home and it is nice, except that I can't say anything in jest. He thinks I am cutting him down . Oh brother. Calgon take me away. Bob loves his chickens. They get lots of attention. I hope they start laying more eggs. I have orders for 9 dozen by Christmas. Bob loves his hobbies. Okay, I have to get ready for church. Maybe I'll find the holiday spirit there. Peace.......
