The beginning and the end.....
This one is for Mary Grace Nelson Hommell Cude....I pray that it is for the Glory of God Almighty only. Lord, empty me of my flesh; my sadness, my pride and my selfishness...And may YOU and YOU only be Glorifed.....
This might be a short one, a long one, a start and stop one, a sad one, a funny one, a memory laced one; both happy and sad or silly or calm or chaotic....but what ever comes from YOU to my fingers on this computer...I pray YOU and YOU alone write this and all blogs and parts of my book....
I met Mary Grace ( I am born Southern, raised Southern, short time as a proud Okie and finally transplanted to Lubbock, Texas )...when our sons, Thomas Scott and Russell were just toddlers.. A birthday party brought us together... And there we remain as friend, sister and mutual caregivers for all eternity.
Mary Grace had come home from Jordan, where Roger was station with the USAF; after finding a lump in her breast. So to the states she comes; loaded with all she needed; Her God, her husband Roger and Russell and Zach her sweet sons all nestled in her heart. As usual, Mary Grace was a strong-willed; determined "Miss Much Afraid,,,) from Hinds Feet for High Places...by Hannah Hunyard.. (sp)..at least I called her that...I was a "Little Much Afraid" also... We helped each other begin a journey to the top of Miss Much Afraids' mountain..
Okay, Lord God Almighty...to you be the glory and the power..for you are the Mighty Counselor, the Mighty Physician..
This is the stop and start I mentioned earlier.... Today is Mary Grace's birthday....each year and for many more.... since March, 2002....
So I stop till the tears subside or until I can type no more...leaving; minding God ..and Mary Grace's to rest in the Lord untill he leads me back to write some more..for it was HE and Mary Grace who have walked this journey...He took you into His loving arms in March...1997.. Hope your birthday is filled with all the things you loved and friendship, love and guidance helped me to love once again.....May you dance at HIS feet; feed at HIS table...May HE serve you the cake you loved and may it be on Mary Engelbrieght plates..............
Blessings my sweet friend, my "sister" in Christ...

I have breast cancer and I know college pranks from 1967...okay...have to go to bed...but never fear......I can always plot..BEFORE I say my prayers..put on my C-pap and take the Benadryl for the Tamoxifen reaction...Then fun day tomorrow..get my hair done (the works)....and hopefully rest in the afternoon...yea...it is suppose to rain (scripture insert..)

I will always ramble, talk alot,love my God, my family and my freedom....that's just who I am...
It's a little scarey and a little exciting to be back on my blog! Okay, it's only been a month and I know I went my usual "Drama Queen" self...(but my husband....Tommy Gene Keener..aka Tommy Keener aka...Tom Keener.. is quite used to it..) Remember when I started cleaning out the house room by room in January..okay..it really started in October....fall cleaning, ran into holiday clean up, in spring cleaning..right on to after school cleaning...into getting ready for summer...now "It's Vacation Time!!" Well.................the last months have been an eye opener for me....Just when I had myself all poised to put my God given talents to use for His glory....Wham..the brakes slammed and God had other plans for me....Be sure and ask Tommy about the night I took a ten second walk around our entire block railing at God that I would never survive; (he will remember it vividly...(was the night before Mother's Day..)that I was born to talk or God would not have given me a tongue..that social was who I was...I probably talked early for that very reason...that if I had to watch what I said I would crumble and die and on and on and on....oh, and I added with snot slinging tears( right into a cup towel just like my mother, Tommie Merle...)that my children were so busy that I could only find out what they were doing on the social media and then I dramaticly added "Take me now, Lord..." Well........He did...He took me right out of my comfort zone.... All those months of nesting filled with walks down memory lane....they brought me to where I am this morning.......Sitting at my computer socializing (God forbid...) when I must put some of that much needed discipline to work and find my time with HIM and then to the rest of the day......

Rambling ....some more
I'm back... Went to get the Avalanche Journal...(had to make sure I wasn't it.....) stopped...got a cup of coffee...walked in circles around the "shrine" as Scott calls it...or my mother's drum table (I will always miss her)... but really it is just a table...Today's placement may stay the same, change or be added to..depending on God's plan... Picture to follow...trust me I've bot pictures.... Topics and pictures to follow...
l. There's A Place in the Sun where there's HOPE for everyone..and my tired weary Soul's gotta run....Stephen Sydney Lacobee....Beverly Adair Means Ogilvie...Happy Birthday today...Beverly...this blog goes out to you...thanks for the memories..and I pray for you and your family...
2. The Graduating Class of 1967 Stonewall High School, ...trust me I've got pictures....and announcements and party invitations...and yearbooks ..Go Panthers...and this list goes on....all to be posted by May 27, 2012...excited since Chandra and Terrell's magnoia tree is LOADED..yep planning on decorating my mantel just like the stage at good ole SHS...but I digress ..as Burle Pettit would say...or whatever Beverly Diane Long would say...or whatever Beth Pratt says....Gotta run...have to make breakfast (LOL) ..that would be put the cups under the GUERRIG(the flavor of the month these last two weeks is New Orleans, Louisiana ..French Quarter..Canal Street....make the toast in my red OYSTER .toaster.. take Tommy to McWhorter's in my new TERRAIN (which I love..but has some issues on the 2011 model for us AARP crowd regarding Macular Degeration and Primary Acquired Melanosis with Atypia...namely we got the car GOD wanted us to have...but more rambling later..... Oh, and I do have pictures....Have taken over 1600 since I got my Iphone 4 on February 23, 2012...gotta love those hand me downs from Scott..thought I would never talk him to getting Siri so I could have his....he kept saying "don't need a new phone..this one is fine...I can make do...whatever...I wanted the 4S so I could learn..must have taken me 4 weeks to convince him..more ramblings later..
Back again for a abot 5 minutes..tired..great day..busy day...fun day...shared phone call, sent texts and even had Tucker send a recording of me playing the piano for Lynn for her birthday..It is always fun when you are the youngest and your older sisters have theirs..sorry, but it is..and you know it... Probably the best birthday we have shared..forgiveness is beautiful when it runs both ways....
I've been dropping body parts for the last 36 years...organs and joints and breasts....
Still have a knew replacement ahead in the next few months..
What I am soooooooooooo excited about is dropping "regrets"..Thanks to my son, Scott's persistants he spoke some powerful words at lunch this past Sunday at lunch with his dad and I ....He listened as I shared...then he helped me understand how all my testamonies seemed to follow the line of "regrets"... lovingly he held me to the "fired" and helped me see the huge importance of dropping regrets...and sharing the true joy of my life....Wow..that may have saved me $150...(which I will gladly give to youth fund...) That's almost a scholarship for a child at camp.... In my opinion, God Almightly, is certainly healing HIS families for whatever HE has in store....Even my blog seems to go smoother tonight...
So stay tuned for the hysterical saga of how I was at the Margaret and Bill Couch Prayer Garden Dedication this past Sunday.....As Scott puts it...."Think I just might tell people that I am kin to the Keener's in any town but Lubbock..." No such luck....Your stuck with us, Scott; and fess up..you wouldn't have it any other way..............
Other topics ahead:
The problem with the new vitamins for my mac gen..the Arkansas Barking Spider...
Just how big a mess I can make when I am cleaning out the house; that has been going on since January and no end in site
How we discovered that a bird came in the fireplace while we were gone Sunday what must have transpired be tween it or they and Lucy Dog..
What I have actually said outloud lately that I could have sworn I just thought... I might really have Tourrettes, or ADD or a combo of the two...
How I got my style on in a new pink hat and purchased another orange one at TJ MAXX yesterday....
Oh, and Tommy's face when he saw the house tonight..only mildly upset and calmed down when he realized that I actually did the laundry in the middle of the hunt for the allusive diamond and sapphire ring ..
So good night...and pray with me for things to "settle" down soon so I can blog, pray and take road trips with my husband and my girlfriends...it's amazing what you can accomplish at the age of 63...Praise God and Pass the Cornbread...
Blessings, Martha
I thank God each day for the blessings HE brings and brings and brings..
l. There's A Place in the Sun where there's HOPE for everyone..and my tired weary Soul's gotta run....Stephen Sydney Lacobee....Beverly Adair Means Ogilvie...Happy Birthday today...Beverly...this blog goes out to you...thanks for the memories..and I pray for you and your family...
2. The Graduating Class of 1967 Stonewall High School, ...trust me I've got pictures....and announcements and party invitations...and yearbooks ..Go Panthers...and this list goes on....all to be posted by May 27, 2012...excited since Chandra and Terrell's magnoia tree is LOADED..yep planning on decorating my mantel just like the stage at good ole SHS...but I digress ..as Burle Pettit would say...or whatever Beverly Diane Long would say...or whatever Beth Pratt says....Gotta run...have to make breakfast (LOL) ..that would be put the cups under the GUERRIG(the flavor of the month these last two weeks is New Orleans, Louisiana ..French Quarter..Canal Street....make the toast in my red OYSTER .toaster.. take Tommy to McWhorter's in my new TERRAIN (which I love..but has some issues on the 2011 model for us AARP crowd regarding Macular Degeration and Primary Acquired Melanosis with Atypia...namely we got the car GOD wanted us to have...but more rambling later..... Oh, and I do have pictures....Have taken over 1600 since I got my Iphone 4 on February 23, 2012...gotta love those hand me downs from Scott..thought I would never talk him to getting Siri so I could have his....he kept saying "don't need a new phone..this one is fine...I can make do...whatever...I wanted the 4S so I could learn..must have taken me 4 weeks to convince him..more ramblings later..
Back again for a abot 5 minutes..tired..great day..busy day...fun day...shared phone call, sent texts and even had Tucker send a recording of me playing the piano for Lynn for her birthday..It is always fun when you are the youngest and your older sisters have theirs..sorry, but it is..and you know it... Probably the best birthday we have shared..forgiveness is beautiful when it runs both ways....
I've been dropping body parts for the last 36 years...organs and joints and breasts....
Still have a knew replacement ahead in the next few months..
What I am soooooooooooo excited about is dropping "regrets"..Thanks to my son, Scott's persistants he spoke some powerful words at lunch this past Sunday at lunch with his dad and I ....He listened as I shared...then he helped me understand how all my testamonies seemed to follow the line of "regrets"... lovingly he held me to the "fired" and helped me see the huge importance of dropping regrets...and sharing the true joy of my life....Wow..that may have saved me $150...(which I will gladly give to youth fund...) That's almost a scholarship for a child at camp.... In my opinion, God Almightly, is certainly healing HIS families for whatever HE has in store....Even my blog seems to go smoother tonight...
So stay tuned for the hysterical saga of how I was at the Margaret and Bill Couch Prayer Garden Dedication this past Sunday.....As Scott puts it...."Think I just might tell people that I am kin to the Keener's in any town but Lubbock..." No such luck....Your stuck with us, Scott; and fess up..you wouldn't have it any other way..............
