Today, I applaud Shirley. (Pictured above in her son's plane.) A woman of great faith, she has remained strong in the darkest of hours and given her life to the work of God. Like Helen, Shirley isn't afraid to tackle controversial issues which often result in heated debates. (I might add, I agree at times and disagree at times with both of these ladies. LOL) Whether traveling cross country for a speaking engagement, writing another book, or playing with grandkids in the kitchen, Shirley always seems to find pleasure in the simple and small things of life. Nothing goes unnoticed. Shirley, I love you and your family. Can you hear my loud applause?

I love Shirley, too. But I sometimes I drive her nuts. If it weren't for Shirley, I wouldn't know Jana or Carol and several other bloggers I am glad to know. Shirley and I started blogging about the same time. We agree that we are "nice." I hope I make Shirley think; Shirley does that for me. Helen
ReplyDeleteHelen - you and Shirley have given me many good laughs. You are two peas in a pod but readily sit at opposite ends. You both make me think - sometimes. :)
ReplyDeleteNo hard feelings, Jana. Just differences of opinion.
ReplyDeleteI love (Shirley)Sister Buxton too. She has been and continues to be a wonderful influence in my life and was the reason I started blogging. I think it's neat the way she draws people in through writing about current events, and I'm thankful for the things I've gleaned from her wisdom.
ReplyDeleteHelen - it would be fun to have you and Shirley debate in a public forum. We would have a time. LOL
ReplyDeleteCarol - she seems like family to me. When I was a little girl, I used to play with Mike and Steve at conferences. They were the orneriest guys ever, but we never had a dull moment.
Applauds to a wonderful woman whose honesty and openness in her blogs and the ensuing discussions make her site one to visit daily.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jana. This is very sweet of you.

I applaud Shirley Buxton! She is a wonderful lady and stands strong in her faith. She sure has made me put my thinking cap on - on more than one occasion. She has been a blessing to me during some dark days in my life and sent me encouraging words and lifted me up and boosted my faith when I needed it most.
ReplyDeleteLove you Sis Buxton!
I applaud such a fine woman of God who is not ashamed of the gospel nor being a light in a world of darkness.
ReplyDeleteKaren - I agree. Sis. Buxton's is a blog to visit daily.
ReplyDeleteShirley - You are welcome. Drop by again and read all the nice comments that are filtering in for you.
Jolene - I remember when Sis. Buxton ministed to you on a dark day and gave prophecy. It is so wonderful to have friends that are in tune with God.
Tracie - I don't know if you know Sis. Buxton, but she was our district ladies president for a few years. I'm sure you would love her.
I just want to join in on the applause. Sis. Buxton is a remarkable lady!
ReplyDeleteDebbie - I hear your applause.
ReplyDeleteI applaud Sister Buxton, inspiration and example to me and lots more.
ReplyDeleteGreat post on a great lady. I remember when I first started blogging I was the only Apostolic/Pentecostal preacher that I knew of that was blogging and a few months later the first A/P blog that I heard about was Sis. Buxton's and quickly became a regular reader. She writes great post on her two blogs and often bring interesting news tidbits up as well.
ReplyDeleteI applaud Shirley Buxton!!!
I had the privilege of meeting her when my husband preached one of the installation services for Marc Stevenson in California. I was impressed with her kindness towards someone she didn't know. I have enjoyed getting to know her better through her blogs.
ReplyDeleteCatherine - agreed.
ReplyDeleteMark - Sis. Buxton should be queen of blogging. LOL
Tracie - I'm glad you had the opportunity. Sis. Buxton is "for real." Love her dearly!
Well, I just came over and read all these wonderful compliments.
ReplyDeleteThank you again, everyone, for your sweet, although undeserved, remarks.
Love and honor all of you.
Again, thank you Jana for such honor. I really do appreciate it.
Shirley - you are most welcome but, we all feel you are deserving of these comments.
