A Remembrance, Three Recommendations and a Song

Remembrance

I just heard that Oneta Hayes, a blogger whom I have read for some years, passed away on January 4th. 

May the Lord bless the entire Hayes family and all of those who knew Oneta. Thank you, Jesus, for her faithfulness and love.

Three Recommendations

Jan writing in Mercy for the Day began the story, Book of Names, with the following:

Court documents were unsealed this week. Previously unpublished names were released. Trouble is. These people want to remain anonymous.

I wasn’t sure if I missed some political event which is likely since I don’t follow politics. Then I found out the story was going way beyond politics. The released names were those missing from the Book of Life.

Pat Barrett’s book, Lives Forever Changed: My Spiritual Adventures With the Lord, recently became available from Barrett Publishing.

This is a book of Pat’s remembrances from 30 years of deliverance ministry written for those who would like to minister to people influenced by such darkness. It read like it could even be valuable for those suffering from such influences.

Pat told me that he was told that all we need do is get the hunger for the Lord out of our heads and into our hearts.

Esperanza Dia (not her real name) published a memoir of faithfulness called Twisted Sisters of Bating Hollow: From Cult to Freedom: the Story of Hope. 

With names changed she tells her story of 28 years in an Anglican nunnery where manipulators gained power and took advantage of the women who gave their lives to God. This is a story of how she was set free and how she continued to love Jesus even after the experience.

She helps lead a worship service at the Upper Room in Fort Mill, SC, which we often attend on Saturday evenings.

Song

Finally, a song I heard this evening that reminds me of Oneta Hayes. 

Blessings to you this week.

  5. I read the obituary. Oh, the people you never meet until we meet on the other side! Jesus’ hands and feet are in every place. I was blessed to listen to the song I have never heard. The other two I have not looked at yet. Thank you for spreading the Gospel. Godly fruit never ends with a grave.

    1. I never met Oneta face to face, but I did get to know her over the years through comments on her blog. I am glad you liked the song. I only heard it for the first time recently. Blessings to you, Mary!

  6. How sad to know she is gone but how glad I am she is with the Lord! I noticed her increasing absence and now I know why. Thank you for sharing the news, Frank, and the book recommendations. God bless you, brother.
