I am steadily improving each day with my back injury. As a matter of fact I had an appointment with a PT guy yesterday; We discussed how I was doing and what I was doing and he said, “You are doing great. Go home and keep it up.”
God is Good to me. He has been with me every day guiding my path. I would be lost without Him.

Have you been struggling lately? Did you have some illness, or injury attack you? This is what I have by my computer to help me through each day:
- Pray
- Pray
- Pray
- Repeat
Another wall hanger by my computer says:
- Each day you are never alone. God is with you 24/7.
- Take a big breath and pray.
- Know that the storms end.
- 99% of what we worry about never happens. Turn the rest over to God.
- Read the Bible every day. Lots of love and understanding there.
- Help someone today. You make them smile and you do too.
- Give your troubles over to God. He has big shoulders.

Stay strong and have God help you through each day.

We all know we need a good foundation in our lives. The Bible talks about building a house on sand. It will get destroyed. It also says building a house on Rock is what we all should do.
What about you? What is your foundation?
A good foundation is stable, solid, fixed, predictable.
______________________________________________________________________________________
The best foundation is trusting God. He can provide all your needs. He can hold you hand during your trials. If you have sinned, God is the only one who can bear the weight.
______________________________________________________________________________________
Think of what you have for a foundation. Is it strong enough to carry you through this world. Do you need to reevaluate your foundation?
______________________________________________________________________________________
Remember:
You are never alone,
You are never forsaken.
You are never unloved.
And above all…never, ever, give up!

Are you a “fair weather,’ Christian. A fair weather Christian is one who only calls on God when there is panic. The rest of the time everything is great so why need God?
When we call on God there is no busy tone. We get directly to him every time.
However, we often have a busy tone, because we are too busy to pray. Too busy to care.
There should be no busy tones from us!
______________________________________________________________________________________
We often act like a turtle. When there is a problem, we climb into our shell, and hide. We often do that when we should be witnessing to others.
Be brave and share the good news openly.

You are never alone,
You are never forsaken.

As I look out the window here at Sun River, Oregon, I see crews cutting down trees near me. They are huge trees. It is amazing what they can do without too much danger.
Have you ever taken on some projects that were a little dangerous? Dis you fear for your life? Did it make you anxious?
We all face those kinds of days. What to do? How to handle it?
_____________________________________________________________________________________
There are two ways to handle them.
- Panic, and scream for help.
- Pray for God’s help who is there 24/7 to protect you.
Which one would you choose?
____________________________________________________________________________________
The obvious choice for me is too always depend on God for my help. He has always been there for me during dangerous and fearful times.
I could give you a long list where He has helped me. Most was physical help through afflictions.
____________________________________________________________________________________
Don’t allow fearful events overcome you. Cling to God’s promises like, “I will not forsake you.” Never let the dark side overcome you.
____________________________________________________________________________________
Remember:
You are never alone.
You are never forsaken.
You are never unloved.
And above all…never, ever, give up!

It is hard to be positive in our world today. Inflation, wars, high gas prices, Southern Border, and much more. All of this is hitting us every day.
______________________________________________________________________________________
People need to come up with ideas, and thoughts to fight back. There is no need to have an negative attitude no matter what is happening. It causes too much stress.
We need to get in the trenches and go to war with all of this. (I am A veteran. ) 🙂
Here are some thoughts and ideas to try:
- Do not spend all day watching the depressing news. It is hard anymore to find anything but depressing news.
- Go for long walks and forget about the world. I have done this and come have back refreshed.
- Call friends to let free your frustrations. They will comfort you.
- Read the Bible. The truth and much love is there.

If your are reading this and still feel down, remember God is there for you 24/7. He knows your hurts. He loves you and He will help you. Just ask Him. (Prayer)

I had a wonderful time at my weekly coffee gathering today. There was a WWII Veteran there who is 98 years old. I had already interviewed him for my upcoming book, Signs of Hope for the Military: In and Out of the Trenches of Life.
The interview is full of near death experiences, and the freeing of two concentration camps. One was full of Jews, and the other English soldiers.
It is a fantastic interview that is a must read when the book comes out.
I will keep you posted here as to the progress of the book. You can also go to www.dougbolton.com. That is now just a military site that has up to date military news, and side stories.

I have been having pity parties lately. My health is not all that good. I am struggling with weak legs, arthritis in my hip, and total lack of energy.
How do I face each day?
- I thank God for the day. He is the one that gives me my air in my lungs every day.
- I realize that getting old isn’t for sissies, and face my storms head on.
- I read the Bible. All the comfort I need is found there.
- I do not worry about tomorrow. Jesus says, tomorrow has enough worries on its own.

I tore a muscle in my chest. My doctor said that because of my age, it will take much longer to heal. Lovely!
I am living with the pain, and taking Tylenol. It seems to help a little.
_____________________________________________
Have you had sudden things happen to you caused you physical and mental pain?
There are many of us like that.
I have some thoughts on how to face the world with this happening to us:
- Pain only last for a while, and then it is gone.
- Suffering is a part of a Christians life. I am not saying we should suffer as a Christian, but God knows we are suffering and He is writing it down in our book.
- Use your pain to help others who are suffering. Helping others helps you with your pain.

The situation in Ukraine is pulling me down like a huge magnate. If I was able, I would be going there to help the people fight.
Many civilians are dying from direct bombing of their homes. This is not an accident. Many are Christians or Jews. Sounds like WWII all over again. Putin has been called the new Hitler and rightfully so.
Please pray daily for peace and protection for all the suffering Ukrainians.
We also need to pray for our own country. We are at a pivotal spot. New decisions by the supreme court can change our country.
________________________________________________
If you are battling depression and anxiety from everything that is happening, be strong in knowing God is with you if you are a Christian. He knows your situation. He knows your pains. Pray for His promises, and love.

You are never alone.
