Another good weekend

Saturday I went up to Julie's in Ardmore. We had dinner with the lovely Frankye. Julie made us a wonderful ham dinner with a spinach salad that was exactly what Frankye loves! She was a happy woman with that salad. Julie always cooks up some yumminess. Thank you, friend. The thing to know about Ms. Frankye is that she is a District Supt. of the Methodist Church and she was there with me on my Walk to Emmaus. God worked through her and Julie both to bring me back to Him. They'd have to kill my dog for a bad reason for me to not like them! Ms. Frankye had to preach and speak at 3 services and a breakfast the next day so she took it home. Julie and I sat around the chiminea for hours upon hours.

MollyLolly paced (see below) as Julie and I talked. It was a clear night for stars. Technology was with us! I quickly downloaded a map of the stars and we got busy identifying. That was about all the science we were ready for, so the conversation changed to our little lives. God was with us too! Julie and I decided we would pray for each other for one month and journal during that time. I'm excited to see what God is going to do about this. Right there under the stars, we joined hands and prayed about it. It's so fantastic to have friends to pray with!

Sunday morning, Julie and I got up to go hear Frankye speak. What I love most about Frankye is her spirit. It does remind me of my daddy and my mimi. They all have the same feel to me. If you knew either one of them, or both, you know what I mean. Quiet, wise, strong, happy and down to earth. And if they speak, you listen.

Man! She can speak too! My standards for preachers is HIGH and I love listening to Frankye. The benchmark is Dr. Charles Isbell. I know Daddy would've respected her message and her speaking style. It was beautiful to hear her. Her message was based on a Psalm and had to do with a real relationship with Christ--Not a casual, convenient one, but the real deal. God is not playing with us. :) There are believers, church goers and true Christians who walk closely with Him throughout every day. To build that relationship takes some sit down time with God. It takes walking and talking closely to Him and believeing His word. She said that we have those who are our lovers, but Christ is the lover of our souls. How great is that?

Frankye is the one on the right


Next weekend...girls' weekend in Canton. We have a cabin and we are READY with food and fantastic attitudes. We are...
