Hi Friends,
I just returned from a convention in Orlando where I had a great time meeting with long time, (make that very 'long time') friends. We had known each other for more than 50 years, and had actually met before any of us married. We now have children, grandchildren and even a few great grandchildren. We met at an Italian Restaurant and I thought "it just doesn't get any better than this. There was lots of reminiscing, a little heated political discussion - but more importantly, a lot of laughter.
There's somethng special about the people in your life who know your good points, your faults and failures.............yet you KNOW that you could count on them, no matter what.
The friendship we can have with Jesus even supersedes the type of friendship that I recently enjoyed. Jesus REALLY knows all of my faults, but His friendship remains firm. When I have a meal with Him, (yes, I sometimes have communion at home), I sense His encouragement, His love and commitment to me. It's really very hard to describe that divine connection, it MUST be experienced. In John the 15th chapter, Jesus refers to us as "friends". How special is that?
Speaking of friends, please know that I consider all of the HOMEKEEPERS VIEWERS to be cherished friends. I realize that we haven't known each other for 50 years, however our mutual friendship with Jesus creates an immediate bond........like nothing else.
Dear FRIEND, here's what's happening on HOMEKEEPERS next week.
Monday, August 17
Harry and Annie Thomassen are my guests and they have a "drama" ministry. I showed a brief clip of their portrayal of Abraham and Sarah. The video was not broadcast quality, but I aired it anyway - it was just sooooooooo funny.
Tuesday, August 18
Rebecca Totolio just blew me away with the research she had done about the Bride of Christ - both Old and New Testament. She will be back on HOMEKEEPERS - for sure.
Wednesday, August 19
Cheryl Touchton just convicts me whenever I'm around her. She is a dynamic witness for the Lord, and she demonstrates how very easy it is.
Thursday, August 20
Debra Flinn tells of the horrible child abuse she endured. Get ready to be very angry and then just melt because of the great forgiveness she experienced.
Friday, August 21
Nancy Morse is on my short, short list of women to be admired. She is a missionary with WYCLIFFE BIBLE TRANSLATORS and one of the most wonderful Christians you could ever encounter.
You're loved!

Back Home
Hi Friends,
I just returned from an all too short vacation in California with my younger Sister, Sharon. Her much-loved husband died a couple of years ago and she is coming out of a very sorrowful time. The Scripture states that "weeping may endure for the night, but JOY comes in the morning". I saw a lot of joy in her - and that was good. We shared the kind of laughter that only "sisters" would understand. I also had a two hour "girl" lunch with long time friends....JUST NOTHING LIKE IT.
The high point was the privilege to attend church at Angeles Temple, founded by Aimee Simple McPherson. I've read everything about that lady that I can find. She was greatly used of God in her lifetime, and it was a thrill to see that legendary building packed to the walls.........filled with praises and new salvations. Jentzen Franklin spoke..............really - no words to describe it.
Because of my absence, HOMEKEEPERS will feature excellent guests worth repeating.
Monday, July 27: Justin Fennell
This full time comedian will bring a smile to your face, and I can vouch for his wonderful recipe.
Tuesday, July 28: Pastor Myra Leon
Myra, along with her husband, leads a fabulous ministry - especially for youth. You will be inspired.
Wednesday, July 29 : Ted and Sharon Broer
They're a dynamic duo and they can show you the way to better health. Their books and CDs offer life changing information. Thousands have been helped by their teaching on healthy living.
Thursday, July 30: Dr. Paul Williams
This amazing Medical Missionary has been involved in tragic disasters around the world. He will tell you exactly how to hope for the best, but PLAN FOR THE WORSE.
Friday, July 31: Patrick Tillman
I just love a great testimony and Patrick has one. Don't miss his story of God's deliverance and how he is now in the ministry helping those who have the same problem that he had. Isn't that just like the Lord?
Remember HOMEKEEPERS is aired Monday through Friday at 5:30 A.M. and 1:00 P.M. EST on the CHRISTIAN TELEVISION NETWORK, DIRECT TV, and the DISH NETWORK.
We love to hear from you - YOU ARE LOVED.

Monday and Tuesday, July 13 & 14
If you're interested in learning, or increasing the learning skills of your children, don't miss HOMEKEEPERS on these dates. My guest is Donna O. Johnson.

Dee Brestin is a nationally known speaker and writer who has a heart for women and the challenges we face. You'll love her.
Thursday, July 16 and 17
Phyllis Benigas is on my short list of women to admire. I've known her for about 3 decades and she is an absolutely consistent Christian and has had a great ministry with her husband Tom as they've ministered to thousands of teenagers in Central Florida.

Don't forget - the program airs 5:30 A. M. and 1:00 P.M. EST - Monday - Friday

THANK GOD FOR AMERICA
Hi Friends - Don't tell anyone - but I'm working in my office for a couple of hours..........yes, on Sunday. You could call it one of those "getting the ox out of the ditch" moments. I can accomplish much and think more clearly when no one is around.
I hope your "fourth" was an enjoyable one. My daughter's Mother-in-law has an apartment on the 14th floor of a building over looking the St. Pete Harbor, which owns a view that would cost a great deal if tickets were sold. We watched the spectacle of hundreds of boats and majical fireworks hurling toward our window.
My daughter-in-law, Terri, is the world's best at documenting family events and manages to get photos on the internet within minutes. True to form, yesterday evening I received photos of my precious great grandchildren (4 of them) in the neighborhood parade. Patriotism permeated the pictures. . .. . . wouldn't it be great if every neighborhood in America had it's own parade? I hope to watch those "greats" parade by next year. They live in Montgomery, Alabama.
HERE'S THE LINEUP FOR HOMEKEEPERS THIS WEEK: Remember the program airs at 5:30 A.M. and 1:00 P.M. EST, Monday through Friday.
Monday, July 6
This program is dedicated to the wonderful people who make HOMEKEEPERS happen. You'll see pictures of the camera people, the technicians - all of us who are 'WORKERS TOGETHER WITH CHRIST JESUS"........that includes you as you pray for us and financially support the ministry.
Tuesday, July 7th
My guest Tracey Dannemiller was a guest on the program about 10 years ago when she had recently been diagnosed with HIV and learned the horrible news that it had been passed on to her daughter. This program, ten years later tells a story of triumph over tragedy.
Wednesday, July 8th
Tim Dannemiller joins his wife Tracey on this program. Tim was introduced to drugs when he was 8 (yes that's 8) years of age. A battle ensued for decades. They describe the torment and the toll taken on the marriage, but just stay tuned for "THE REST OF THE STORY".
Thursday, July 9th, and Friday, July 10th
Both of these programs feature Carolyn Goad Pankella. Her story of loss and incredible sorrow illustrate the power and truth that Jesus has come to heal the brokenhearted.
Please pray for these programs. I always ask the Lord that the guest and I will say exactly what HE wants us to say and that we'll have brand new viewers for each and every airing. Will you join me in that prayer? Thanks so much.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY
Isn't it wonderful to live in a country that designates a day to acknowledge fatherhood? I do hope that families across America are using this day to "spoil" their Daddies.
Besides the typical gifts and special dinners that are planned, it is a perfect time to reflect on the fact that the lack of fathers involvement in the lives of their children in our nation, and indeed world wide, is a serious problem.
That is only one of the myriad issues we spotlight on HOMEKEEPERS. Thanks for your involvment in this ministry. We need your prayers and financial help more than ever.
Thanks to many who have asked about my Mom. She turned 100 years old on May 17th and is in a Nursing Home in St. Petersburg. I go almost every evening to feed her because she really can't see the food on her plate, I then take her outside for a wheelchair spin in the fresh air. She doesn't know me, and thinks I'm an employee. Thanks for your prayers for her.
HERE'S THE HOMKEEPERS LINEUP FOR THIS WEEK:
Monday - June 22nd:
SHERRY WHITE is an amazing lady with an amazing ministry. Please don't miss how the Lord is using her to rescue women from the very worst of the worse situations.........and how she is reaching out to their children as well.
Tuesday - June 23rd:
CLAIRE ABRAMS and BECKY TAYLOR are a couple of the ladies that SHERRY WHITE has rescued. They have been at the very bottom with substance abuse problems, attempted suicides and the loss of their children..............but don't forget, JESUS HAS COME TO MAKE ALL THINGS NEW.
Wednesday, - June 24th:
Wanda and I laughed out loud reading portions of DEBORA COTY'S book titled MOM'S NEED CHOCOLATE. How very refreshing - in the midst of some rather sad stories - to interview such a funny lady.
Thursday, - June 25th
LORI EVANS - (perhaps you've seen her on CHRISTIAN FITNESS) tells about the wonderful, healing power of the Lord Jesus in her life.
Friday, June 26th
The first time I interviewed REBECCA PORTER, I was brought to tears when she told how she had an abortion which turned out to involve twins. . . . . however, our all powerful God uses all of this brokeness to create a "vessel of honor" for His use...........that's Rebecca, a true "vessel of honor". She is a might force in the PRO LIFE MOVEMENT.
Please know that you are loved,

Burdens and Blessings
Hi Friends,
To say that these past few days have been have been "trying" might just be the understatement of the year.
My sister and her husband arrived on Sunday, in order to have a surgical procedure by the famous Dr. James Gills. On that same night, I received a call that my Mother, now living in an Assisted Living Facility, had fallen and they sent her to St. Anthony's Hospital. Mother's sight and hearing are almost gone, her memory functions at about 10%, and she is frequently in great pain. The hours spent in the emergency room were wild.
From that time, it was determined that she would have to be in a Nursing Home - something I have asked the Lord many times to avoid. Amazing isn't it, how we count "prayers answered" only when they're answered according to "our will"? It is very hard to describe the pain of placing her there to anyone who has not experienced it.
I drop by each evening to "feed" her - Her vision and trembling hands prevent her from doing it for herself. I will be leaving shortly for what has now become a part of my routine.
HOWEVER, as I write this on her 100th BIRTHDAY, the Lord blessed me with another great grandchild.........Elizabeth Anne Ryles. HOW SPECIAL, HOW HISTORIC. God blesses our family with great joy right in the middle of heavy heartache. WHAT A GREAT GOD TO KNOW, LOVE, AND SERVE.
He loves you,
Arthelene

Great Guests this Week!!!
Hi Everyone,
I do want to say thanks to SHERRY WHITE MINISTRIES for the privilege of speaking for her Ladies Retreat last week. What a powerful evening it was. She and some of the girls that her ministry has rescued will be on a future HOMEKEEPERS program - so keep watching.
April 27th,
Ann Brooks tells how the government took her daughter from her and her husband and eventually killed her. Yes, this is in America. It is a riviting story that will make you cry, get angry and then marvel at the grace of God in Ann's life.
April 28th,
One of my favorite Missionaries, Nancy Morse returns to HOMEKEEPERS. I love bringing these amazing people to our viewers. It shows just how the Body of Christ is growing world wide.
April 29th,
What a total joy to meet Suzette Caldwell. She and her husband are pastors of a large Methodist Church in Houston, Texas which is home to 15,000 members. Suzette wrote a book on prayer which would benefit any believer.
April 30th and May 1st
These programs have been aired before and the response has been astounding. My guests are Phil and Cynthia Phillips. They have written a book about diagnosing Phil's ADD as an adult. It is obvious that these programs struck a chord.
God Bless you - love hearing from you.
