In a Wikipedia entry under ‘Frances Parkinson Keyes biography’ is found a finely preserved picture of the late Mrs. Keyes sitting at a typewriter. There is no paper in the typewriter and there is no paper to be seen anywhere in the room. Obviously the picture is posed, and because Keyes was the author of over fifty books no one would think twice about the lack of paper in the photo.

Over forty years ago I befriended Mrs. Keyes personal secretary who invited me to the author’s restored home in the French Quarter of New Orleans only a few years before Mrs. Keyes died. The house was once the residence of General Pierre Toutant Gustave Beauregard who was also an inventor and a writer as well as a prominent general in the army of the Confederate States of America.

Marge Lilibridge was slightly older than me, but it was impossible not to be intrigued with the facets of the personal tour she gave me of the recently restored mansion on Chartres Street just across the street from the famed Ursuline Convent. In the rear slave quarters, she showed me stacks of black and white composition books and allowed me to peruse through them. They were the handwritten manuscripts that Mrs. Keyes used to pencil almost every one of her books, with nearly perfect penmanship. She did not use a typewriter.

It seemed unimaginable to me that she could sit and write enough to fill even one composition book, but here were stacks of them lined up against the wall. I also could not imagine that one day sitting amidst several published and un-published manuscripts of my own that I would be sending articles to the entire world almost on a weekly basis from an electronic gadget called a computer. It is something I could not see and it is a vision I surely would have rejected, never coddled.

I never met Mrs. Keyes but over the years I always knew someone connected to the historic Beauregard mansion. I spent many hours in its hallowed rooms and offered many quiet prayers sitting pensively on the wrought iron benches of its beautiful herb garden. The handwritten manuscripts always fascinated me but they gave me no compunction to write. It took something far more compelling to urge me to write and I could not yet see it coming through the mist, montage and melee of my own future.

Keyes was born in Charlottesville, Virginia as were my mother’s parents, but there were no other connections or parallels between us except for one. Something, or in my case, someone, had driven us both to write down what we thought our readers, if not the entire world should read and ponder for themselves.

I always just wrote when I felt like it, and never entertained any notions about being a writer. Almost by accident something I wrote was picked up in 1979 by Guideposts Magazine and later by Catholic Digest. Other magazines and publications ran some of the short pieces I wrote, but it always came as a surprise when I got published because, I didn’t care whether they took my material, or used it to light the fireplace.

Years later I had a book or two published and began blogging on the internet, but just to answer some remark that seemed to beg me to answer. Blogs became popular and with that popularity all hell seemed to break loose. Today blogs are tapering down just a bit, but who will miss the endless, aimless and feckless ranting of those who seem to get some strange relief from spewing out what is on the top of their heads. Don’t worry, I also know, that some of the most well written and highly intelligent remarks on any subject can be found interspersed throughout the great sea of internet rambling we call the blogs. I am a little too old to be endlessly fussing around the breakers of that vast ocean looking for a fish.

We have all seen blogs, videos and internet radio rise and almost fall, but solid, informative and well written articles don’t seem to have budged a single bit. They are the deep currents, the tide or the persistent breaking waves near the shore. They are the way most of us ingest, digest and assimilate the actual events of the day in that hopefully quiet place we call our brains where we analyze, categorize, hate or sympathize with what we read.

Each writer seems to have strong reasons to write or a pathology that is all their own and I long ago gave up trying to figure out what that may be. I am sure of my own reason for writing but it took several years to be sure of that. My writing is to convey a message that I’m sure I have derived from inspiration, if you understand that you need no further explanation, if you do not, I have no explanation you could possibly comprehend.

After being led to the Lord by a neighbor who just happens to share Mrs. Keyes maiden name of Frances Wheeler (coincidence I presume) I began to receive dreams and dream visions sometimes every single night of the week. As the years rolled by it became apparent that there were two separate kinds of dreams I was seeing.

The daily kinds of visions were often about nothing in particular. They were events that, had do with, me or those around me, and although sometimes the events seemed almost impossible, they all happened just as I saw them. It took me several years to learn that the one hundred percent accuracy rate of fulfillment with the minor visions were preparation for the larger visions having to do with this nation or the world at large. God was clearly teaching me that regardless of the content of the vision, the size or length of the vision or its details it could be trusted.

The greatest vision of them all was a picture of Christ’s return to the earth at a time when practically everyone on the planet had pretty much given up faith in God, and religion was also under direct attack and outlawed in many places. Other messages just as clear had to do with America’s economy collapsing and a fairly long period of hard times for the nation.

I have striven endlessly but never more than now as we face an election period where almost every candidate is running on the ‘fix the economy’ platform, to warn that America is not just a big business to be yanked out of a hole or a big trading center like Wall Street, where fortunes are won and lost only by those with amazing financial and business acumen. We are a nation of people whose various places in life are not simply defined by our net worth and our security. Our relationship to God is exponentially more important than our economy, but few are getting the message.

I have no doubt, that if we decide to elect a man who has all the business savvy in the world; my vision will not be thwarted or vacated. Oddly I know that all wisdom gained from hindsight is cheap and I can see that by the time anyone realizes that I was right it will be far too late to make much of a difference. My only consolation in all of this is that God also indicated to me that some, howbeit not many, will decide to redeem what is left of their lives and call upon the name of the Lord.

These visions are like writing to me, I would prefer to be doing something else. I have always dreamed of becoming a gold miner or an artist and there was a time I just wanted to be a humble teacher to help kids prepare for their future. Some people tell me that I have already found the gold in the gospel and have been granted the art with which to sculpt and paint it for others to behold. They tell me to write to explain what I have seen to prepare others for what is coming because they are all children who don’t have a clue about what is ahead. In my best moments I know they are right.

Under the guiding hand of God I always take courage and re-apply myself to the work regardless of the indifference or the resistance. The only remaining sorrow is the picture that I see emerging just by studying the reactions to my work garnered from my own website and what I can see of my articles on other websites.

My site is approaching a quarter of a million reads, but the articles read on other sites have been read many times more. It seems safe to say that about ten million people have read my articles worldwide, but mostly readers are from the states.

It is the statistics that tell me the most and that is where I am left in a state of amazement about what Americans think is important. I wrote a piece about UFOs once that got about 20,000 reads in a matter of days while my latest article about the scourge of abortion in the U.S. took one site about three days to get more than ten people to read it.

I have concluded that this happens for two reasons. The first is that we are happily diverted by anything that does not require any personal assessment of our own behavior or would make us feel culpable for anything at all. The determination that truth is purely subjective and relative has been ingrained into this entire generation and now only tech pursuits, celebrity fluff and personal gain are worthy of anyone’s full attention.

The second reason is far more spiritual and will hardly be accepted by the crowd. The Bible clearly says that one of the chief works of God’s Holy Spirit throughout time will be cranked up near the end of time as we know it. In theological circles we call that the convicting power of the Holy Spirit. It is best defined in the following verse in which Jesus tells his followers that when he goes away another will come from God to help them and to provoke others who have not yet believed, to see, that their chosen path is wrong.

“Nevertheless I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment.” (Jn 16: 7,

Why won’t Americans look hard at the abortion issue? Is it because it’s the law of the land, is it because scientists who make swelling authoritative statements about everything from earth to the distant stars have indicated that they don’t know exactly when life begins in a woman’s womb? Or is it because we are really the champions of women’s rights and we want them to have the chance to succeed as well as our sons, as President Obama recently exclaimed to the world?

Let’s come down from this lofty and exalted place where popular illusion is creating the delusion that is currently in profusion. In simpler terms let’s cut the baloney, because the Spirit of God is always pressing the human spirit to make us see that the slaughter of unborn humans is a crime of the highest kind, a crime against all humanity. That is what we call conviction and that is why some articles are gobbled up like candy and others are avoided like the plague. There is no statistical anomaly at play in the equation, it is a human equation, and it will have its final product.

The disciple that hung so close to Christ got the nickname of ‘John the Beloved’ because he was so loving and dedicated to Jesus. It is from this amazing disciple that we learn that conviction unheeded leads to condemnation. Oddly, the result, or the product of the equation is also based on how much someone or something is loved. Look at it if you dare.

“And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.” (Jn 3: 19, 20)

Get the most out of gardening catalogs. First time gardeners and green thumbs can both benefit from good gardening catalogs. No matter how long you have been planting gardens, there are still things that you can learn.

This is so much information that you can find in gardening catalogs. There are two major categories that you can choose from. There are general and specilised catalogs. The general catalogs are great for gardeners no matter what level you are at. They will discuss just about all of the things that you can dream up for your garden.

Specialised gardening catalogs will concentrate on a few different areas of interest. There are ones that will focus in on garden furniture such as tables, display chairs, outdoor heaters and barbeques. Other catalogs will focus in on the actually plants and flowers.

There are many ways that you can use catalogs to help create a great garden. The gardening catalogs that will help you the most will have a large variety of goods and they will provide specific information about the goods that they offer. Information about seeds, plants and flowers in particular is very helpful.

There are companies that work to supply catalogs that have a big variety of plug plants that you can purchase. These plants have to be grown at the time that the customer gets them prior to being put out in the garden. Buying these plants will save money. If you get plants that are fully grown you will wind up paying much more.

It is important to read all of the information about the goods that you are planning on buying. You want to know exactly what you are getting before it arrives at your doorstep. For example, if you do not have a greenhouse or somewhere else that you can grow a plug plant, you do not want to buy one. Read the catalogs that you get carefully and do not buy anything unless you know what it is.

Catalogs can be a great place to get the big things that you need for your garden. If you are searching for a nice piece of furniture for your garden, a catalog is the way to go. Getting larger items from catalogs is much easier than purchasing them from a store. You will not have to struggle with trying to get the item home.

When you take advantage of gardening catalogs, you will be able to sit back and relax while your items are shipped to you. Simply call, place the order form in the mail or go online and order what you want. Once you have completed this, your merchandise will be on the way.

Both softscape and hardscape elements of the Houston landscape will need updating from time to time. The cycles of updating, of course, differ significantly. Sometimes there is an obvious need to make changes in a landscape that no longer seems to fit the times. On other occasions, a major change in lifestyle or new direction in life generates an interest in new forms and outdoor environments.

A landscape is normally upgraded when the ownership of a property changes hands. The obvious need to put a personal touch on the new residence motivates a desire for a change in scenes. There are many different elements of the Houston landscape that often need improvement at such a time.Plantings require more attention than hardscapes because of tree growth. This is because trees are always expanding as they grow, and shade increases around at tree as it expands. Plants that need sunlight often suffer if too much shade begins to overshadow them.

As these various micro-environments begin to shift subtly within the fabric of the Houston landscape, new methods of garden maintenance must be implemented. We must either introduce shade-resistant species so our gardens will then adapt to new lighting conditions.

Alternatively, we may need to replant gardens in new areas with designs customized to specific landscaping zones generate new areas of interest and better reflect and magnify themes latent within residential landscape architecture.

Hardscapes, by contrast, do not require updating nearly as frequently. Many elements such as swimming pools, fountains, and custom patios are by nature constructed to be more enduring in lifespan than the organic elements that surround them.

However, these things too will deteriorate over time. We need to inspect these structures and look for signs of deterioration and determine when repair work is appropriate, and to what extent it can be done cost effectively.

In many cases, updating the aesthetic and functional power of a yard can improve home and property value. This is not always the primary intent of the homeowner, however. Many people, as we previously mentioned, are looking for a new personal expression of themselves, and a new environment in which to pursue new lifestyle interests. Return is not the issue so much as personal satisfaction and rewards that cannot be measured in tangibles.

Nevertheless, we strive to maintain a practical stance in all of our Houston landscape renovation projects. It can only help, and never hurt, to improve the value of a property at the end of the day by creating new forms and structures that speak to sustainability, endurance, and future posterity.

We also make it a point to honestly discuss the capital improvements and potential associated costs of our work and the reasonable anticipated return on investment. We want people to not only feel they are getting their money’s worth out of what we build them today, but that lasting value on all levels will continue to show in their investment for years to come. There are always certain things on every property that we make it a point to update no matter how great or small the project is. Swimming pools and drainage systems are complex structures that need maintenance and periodic remodeling to work correctly. Pools are also focal points of interest and deserve the highest respect and attention in any residential landscape design project.

Good drainage is an indispensable element that we can never afford to neglect. Due to the fact that the Houston landscape is so flat, garden species and outdoor architecture are always at risk of flood damage if strategies for water runoff are not conceptualized and successfully constructed.

This is why we make it a point to mapping underground plumbing and electrical conduits before we implement any of upgrades. Damage to any of these systems creates more headache and expense for homeowners and for us-something we never want to create under any circumstances.
