Protect Marriage.com

It is a day of mourning, as the Ca. supreme court has said today that

Sodomites can be legally "married,"

YET

A law against God's LAW is NO law at all.

A faithful remnant has been working hard collecting

1.1 million Signatures throughout all 58 counties for a

Constitutional amendment for California's Nov. ballot:

Naomi Katherine (Bailey) Adams

Sisters! Aunt Naomi, Mother-Mary, Aunt Fama

As a baby, Naomi nearly died of "milk sickness" an allergy to cow's milk, which had taken two of her siblings in infancy. At ten months old she was only 10 lbs. Her mother, Mary Bailey, took Naomi forward at a Holiness meeting led by a woman evangelist, who prayed for her. She began to thrive. Naomi was always "interested in boys." She married 38-year-old Charlie Adams in 1935, just after turning 18. Charlie died in 1959. Naomi had one step-son, Franklin, and four of her own: Ira, Virginia Ann and twins Valter and Flora.

Naomi worked as a tailor for Montgomery Wards from 1949 to 1985.
She served as children's leader and church board member in Alhambra many years.
Naomi wrote Christmas Letters to friends and family the past few years, and recently spent Sundays with her sister, Mary. The Bailey sisters have always been close. Only four of the original 11 adult sisters remain: Virginia Bailey-now in Victorville, Madge Weise-in Carlsbad NM, Mary Stoops-in Visalia and Ruth Crary-from Goshen CA now in Hillsborough OR.

Aunt Naomi passed away at age 90 on May 14, 2008 in her apartment in Visalia. She had spent the morning working for the Gleaners, getting food to senior citizens, and planning to leave that day with her son-in-law for an Adams family reunion in Texas. When Bill came to pick her up, he found her, deceased. Naomi's daughters are gathering from California and son, Valter from New Mexico.

Vote for Prop. 98 NOT Prop. 99 Ca Eminent Domain

Eminent Domain is an old problem. Ahab took Naboth's vineyard, but reaped the judgment of God. Naboth had the responsibility we all have to pass along the land to the next generation, not to surrender it to the government.

Two initiatives on the June ballot claim to protect Californians against the state seizing land for private use -- Like turning old housing into a shopping center in order to bring in more revenue.

While Prop 98 would fulfill that purpose, Prop 99 would actually protect Eminent Domain with its many exceptions for environment and crime control.

Please see Regina's column in the online Porterville Post:

California Eminent Domain amendments are NOT created equal!

First Landing Day

401 years ago, today, English settlers sponsored by a private company landed on the shores of Virginia and claimed the land for the Lord Jesus Christ.

The Providence of God at Jamestown

By Miss Melody Seppi

There once was a day when the truth was not told.

The four hundredth year of America - it was,

Experts wanted to forget Jamestown history,

“Certainly not laud it,” they said

“For a holocaust and lynching it was.”

There rose up a man, Douglas Phillips by name.

He told us that the legacy of the father

Is the heritage of the son.

And wondrous providences

The Lord had wrought in men of old:

Hakluyt, Smith and Sandys.

Midway through, on the 11th of June

There came together four thousand, young and old,

To Virginia, that Old Dominion state

“Sic semper tryanus” was it’s motto

A women with a despot a’foot, it’s seal.

They came to hear the glorious deeds of God recounted,

That their children might place their hope in God.

The end of the week found the hosts

At the home of Harrison Tyler a descendant of

Our 10th President, John Tyler who descended from

John Rolfe and his bride Lady Rebecca.

The heavens were thundering as the children

Shouted joyful HUZZAS to the King of Kings.

As we all were led by Master Charlie Zahm

In Be Thou My Vision, that hymn of yore

The Ebenezer stone was unveiled,

The time capsule laid by

Under the stone 2107

Thus far has the Lord helped us.

There was in the historic triangle a treasure hunt.

Four hundred gold coins was the prize.

A hundred there were who persevered,

The Jamestown 400 they were called.

There were three who finalists were,

Mrs. Ivey, Mrs. Donovan and Miss Thomas.

The final day came with much trepidation,

And by these three were picked,

The spade, grave and cipher.

The keys and chest were dug,

On the stage the trio stood to see whose key would fit.

Mrs. Donovan and Ivey their keys tried, but

There fell the lot to Miss Melanie Thomas and

With tears of joy the lid laid back,

For His Honor and Glory it was.

On the wings of the morn, came the Lord’s day,

Under the big tent, the remnant sang with much joy

The Pilgrim Psalm, The Old Hundredth:

Shout to Jehovah all the earth,

Serve ye Jehovah with gladness,

Enter his gates with singing mirth,

Know that Jehovah He God is…

Our Mothers

James Sampson Bailey & Mary Ann Martha Viola Jane (Jones) Bailey

The parents of 14 children who lived to be adults -
three sons and eleven daughters
Grandma Mary Frances was next-to-the-youngest.

James Sampson Bailey was born Feb. 12, 1861 in Nashville, Tennessee. [James' father, John Sampson Bailey, was a circuit-riding preacher, who had owned a hundred slaves in Tennessee, many of whom refused to leave after they were freed.]
Mary Jones was born on March 8, 1881, in her grandmother's [Eudailey's] home near Weatherford, Texas.
Mary's father moved often living in a covered wagon.
While living near Waco, Texas, she met James Bailey on a warm Sunday morning. Mary brushed a strand of hair from her forehead, as she sang in the church choir. A hand reached out and fanned her face with his songbook. This is the first time she had noticed the tall dark-headed man twenty years her senior. She wasn't pleased having this older man showing her this much attention before the whole church. She said she could have "falled through the floor."
He turned out to be the cousin of her good friend, Bertha, who said, "You can thank God, if you get that man.
James started seeing her and often slipped her notes of poetry. He purposed in a written poem, to which she sent a note, "I like chicken. Chicken likes salt. If we don't get married, it won't be my fault."
James asked her father for the privilege of taking Mary to town.
As the two drove home in his horse-drawn buggy, Mary told James she had gotten a certified letter for her father. "Oh, I got a certified letter, too," he said, pulling their marriage license from his pocket.
Mary took one look at the license and covered her face with her hands, trying to hide the blush.
There was a creek that crossed the road, just below a steep hill, only a short distance from home. James stopped there, letting his horse drink, he turned to Mary, "Miss, you are going to let me kiss you before we get home, aren't you?"
At first Mary thought she would, but when she looked into his face, she became embarrassed and said, "Mr. Bailey, if you dare say another word about that, you will wish the longest day you lived that you had never said it."
"I'm very sorry, I did not mean to offend you. Please accept my apology."
James and Mary were married in her parents home. During the ceremony, Mary noticed the cow eating out of a big tub just outside the open backdoor.
They were married January 28, 1900, and started a family alter that very day.
Mary often took the gun to get a rabbit for dinner. She made two quilts during the first two months of marriage.
James lost his farm land after co-signing for a friend's loan.
James and Mary moved often picking cotton.
They purchased 120 acres near Alto, New Mexico. Grandma sold the 120 acres for $2,000, the same price they had paid for it about 50 years before. Buyers subdivided the land and sold parcels for more than they paid for the land.

John, David (Daddy), Mary, Nona (Great-Grandma) and Lance

“Nona” Aurelia Anselmi Seppi loved babies and worked hard. She labored in the fields of Austria and Italy before coming to the US at age 15, where she married Max, a gold and coal miner the same year.


They lived in mining camps in Utah, Colorado and Canada. Nona had 13 pregnancies, 8 live births and 4 children who lived to adulthood. She passed away in her sleep at nearly 103 years old.

Jodavid's Birthday

Grandma Mary said, "The night we were married,

I earnestly prayed that God would save all of

the children He was going to give us.

That prayer now includes all of our sons and daughters-in-law,

our grandchildren and

as many descendants God may permit us to have.

Let's plan now to have an exciting family reunion in Heaven!!"

Daddy loves Mommy

A Poem for Brave Mothers

By J. R. Miller

The bravest battle that was ever fought!

Shall I tell you where and when?

On the maps of the world you will find it not.

T’was fought by the MOTHERS OF MEN

Nay, not with cannon or battle shot,

With a sword or noble pen;

Nay, not with eloquent words of thought

From mouths of noble men!

But deep in a walled-up woman’s heart—

Of a woman that would not yield,

But bravely, silently bore her part—

So, there is that battle field!

No marshalling of troops, no bivouac song,

No banner to gleam and wave;

But oh, these battles—they last so long.

From babyhood to the grave.

Sweet Fellowship with the Jon & Jan Leever Family
The Leever family is a model and inspiration to us.

We don't take Jesus as a true prophet
if we deny that he came in judgment in 70 AD.

Happy 25th Birthday!

Our sister, may you become

thousands of tens of thousands,

and may your offspring

possess the gate of them that hate them!

Genisis 24:60

Praise the Lord, all nations!

Extol him all peoples!

For great is his steadfast love toward us,

And the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever.

Praise the Lord! Psalm 117

I Love you Regina! ~ Melody

Dear Regina, Happy 25th Birthday!

Thank you for extracting 14 barrels of honey so Victor, Dinah and I could put queens into hives before heading to Jamestown last June.

Thank you for your ongoing support of us and always encouraging us to be faithful.

Love, Lance

Our Dear Regina, You are a great example of Godly faithfulness! I am a blessed woman to have 25 years with you loving us through thick and thin. Thank you for affirming us and helping us understand more. Thank you for your Christ-like love for people.

I pray you will be blessed with a Psalm 112 godly gracious husband who loves us too. I pray you will have millions of descendants who will not forget the works of God.

I love you dear Regina

~ Mom

Dear Regina,

Thank you for reading to me and answering my questions before I go to sleep at night. Thank you for working with me burying squirrel holes in the orchard. Thank you for teaching me to memorize verses from the Bible.

I pray you marry a godly husband and I hope you have many kids, grand-kids and great-grand-kids. I hope your husband brings you back to see us.

I love you. Love from Jodavid
