The Art of Simplicity
The Art of Simplicity can turn one’s life around for the greater gain.
Peace for ‘turmoil of lack’
Joy for a ‘scattered mind’
Love for ‘confused and afraid’
Hope for ‘sad’
Light for ‘darkness’
I have for ‘I have not’
Courage for ‘fear’
‘Simplicity of Life’ to me is like black-strap molasses flavoring and coloring my cookies of choice.

What a Day
Have you ever been asked to babysit a Koi fish pond? I have, by my daughter-in-law, for 5 hours. I had to cancel all my appointments including my nail appointment. This is serious work. See some of our results after 5 hours of bird watching.

Are We Getting Too Big For Our “Britches
Is pride overtaking us? Why can’t we except Jesus for who He is? Why can’t we accept God’s Word for what it says? Why do we have to understand everything? Why do we try to change things we don’t understand so we can understand better? Are we so blinded by our prideful hearts that we can’t humble ourselves? Do we think we are smarter than God? Do we think we will get away with this? Adam and Eve didn’t. They could not hide from God in the Beginning. What makes us think we can hide from God near the end? WHO DO WE THINK WE ARE?

Quote for the day
Food & Light . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Jim Rohn
“Words do two major things: they provide food for the mind, and create light for understanding and awareness.”
Gift of Intercession
Interceding for others is truly an honor. But for some reason, I became even more aware of this privilege at our weekly church service at Christ Church Int’l. this week. I saw just how much of an honor and privilege it truly is to intercede and pray for others.
I was introduced to prayer, at a very young age by my mother. When I went to my grandmother’s house in Oklahoma at the age of three, she would have me hold her hands between my small hands and pray before she would eat her meals. Without my prayer, she would not eat. At the time she was dying of cancer.
Oreo cookies- funnies
Psychologists have discovered that the manner in which people eat Oreo cookies provides great insight into their personalities. Choose which method best describes your favorite method of eating:
1. The whole thing all at once.
2. One bite at a time
3. Slow and methodical nibbles examining the results of each bite afterwards.
4. In little feverous nibbles.
5. Dunked in some liquid (milk, coffee…).
Praying Pretzels
Have any of you made these? Thought it might be good idea with the football playoffs and Super Bowl XLII coming up? Also ,a great idea for snacks for our church gatherings . Children as well as adults love them.
Pretzels were first made by monks who gave them as rewards to children who had learned their prayers. The special twisted shape looks like the folded arms of a child praying. The word pretzel means reward.
