Comments by Joan Boney:
One of the things I enjoy most in this life is my sound system. I love the sound effects of hearing a door open on the right of the TV. Or hearing the clang of the old time elevator doors when they are closed. I seem to hear all the sound effects in movies. I like for the sound on musical instruments to duplicate the clarity of the real instrument.
Along the way, some very good quality of sound equipment came into my life. God just enabled me to meet people who could help me develop a system.
Some things, did not fit into the purpose of God for my life.
I very much wanted to marry. But to marry would not fit in with that which God planned for me to do on this earth. Eventually I saw "that" and agreed with God.
Recently I saw an old 1948 movie, "The egg and I". I thought it was a terrible movie but I was also helped immensely by seeing that movie. I saw how terrible I would have been if I had actually married Buddy. He is a farm and ranch person. Also he and his ancestors were members of Church of Christ. I don't believe I could have fulfilled the call of God that was later revealed to me if I had been in that setting.
God is a shield for us. Sometimes God keeps us from getting that which we want and like a little child we have temper tantrums because God, The Father, did not let us have that. Later we rejoice that we didn't get what we wanted. And we thank God for keeping us from getting that.
But when it is good for us to have that thing, God will see that it comes to us.
We just continue in HIS Word.
It is not that we are trying to get things by doing God's commandments. We do God's word because we have a respect for God and know HIS way is right and best for us.
