Grace isn’t a little prayer you chant before receiving
a meal. It’s a way to live.

There was a very unusual sight in the sky this afternoon.
A blinding orb of white hot light that hurt the eyes to gaze upon it.

I nearly didn’t recognize it! LOL!

[jaycee]

Hallelujah!

Now you mentioned losing your sunny disposition the other
day and now I know why! We had a sunny day, too, as it
rained a couple of days this week. Gotta have rain to have
a rainbow, as the saying goes!

I go to bed now! Yes, I wrote that the way I meant to, to
make you smile. SO SMILE! LOL!

Conversion

May 25, 2012

Before my husband and I travel, we go to the bank and trade in our US dollars for the currency of the country we’ll be visiting. We do this so we can pay for expenses while we’re away from home.

When we become Christians, another kind of exchange takes place. Our lives are like currency that we convert from one medium to another. We trade our old life for a new one so that we can begin “spending” ourselves in a different kingdom. Instead of spending ourselves for the causes of this world, we are able to start spending ourselves for the cause of Christ.

The apostle Paul is a good example of this difference. After his dramatic conversion on the way to Damascus (Acts 9), he began spending his life in a dramatically different way. Instead of pursuing Christians to imprison and kill them, he began pursuing non-Christians to convert them. Then he spent the rest of his life for their welfare. He wrote to the church at Corinth, “I will very gladly spend and be spent for your souls” (2 Cor. 12:15). Everything he did was for the edification of his spiritual children (vv.14,19).

Conversion is far more than just changing our final destination. It’s changing the way we spend each day of our lives.

Lord, help me to spend myself on what will last,
not on what will fade away one day.
I give my life to You that I might spend and be spent
for others and Your will. Amen.

Conversion takes only a moment—transformation takes a lifetime.

Read: 2 Corinthians 12:14-21

I will very gladly spend and be spent for your souls. —2 Corinthians 12:15

Bible in a Year:
Job 38-42

I can praise God I got up this morning.

Seems I take 1 step forward and 2 backwards, have felt a Vertigo or Meniere’s attack starting for the past 3 days, this morning it hit hard. Dizzy, sick at stomach, right ear hurts as does the back of my head. Will be spending most of the day in the recliner.

I am so sick of being sick and being given drugs worse than the disease I do have. Don’t doctors read patients drug allergy list or health history any more? Then why do you ask me to provide them IF you are NOT going to READ THEM!

"Wear Red" Friday

You will soon see a lot of people wearing Red on Fridays. Here's why..... The Americans, who support our troops, are the silent majority. We are not "organized" to reflect who we are, or to reflect what our opinions are. Many Americans, like yourself, and all their friends, simply want to recognize that Americans support our troops. Our idea of showing our solidarity and support for our troops is starting Friday and continuing on each and every Friday, until this is over, that every red-blooded American who supports our young men and women, WEAR SOMETHING RED.

Word of mouth, press, TV -- let's see if we can make the United States, on any given Friday, a sea of red much like a home football game at a University. If every one of our memberships share this with other acquaintances, fellow workers, friends, and neighbors, I guarantee that it will not be long before the USA will be covered in RED - and make our troops know there are many people thinking of their well-being. You will feel better all day Friday when you wear Red! So let's get the word out and lead by example; wear RED on Fridays.

SUPPORT OUR TROOPS! WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE. FOR US, THEIR BLOOD RUNS RED!! GOD BLESS AMERICA.

HONOR THE FALLEN!



Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps Pacem!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

[yorkie]

Thank you, Conor! Same to you! Will you be grilling some burgers, and eating Mrs. Macnessa’s baked beans and potato salad, with the family?

[ConorMacNessa]

We'll be grilling something - haven't decided what yet. I'm leaning toward a Salmon fillet myself. Going to Sam's Club tomorrow - will see what looks good.



Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps Pacem!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

[yorkie]

Sounds yummy! My DIL taught me to brush the salmon with Italian Salad Dressing, before cooking. OMG is it GOOD!!!

I usually steam my salmon over a whole sliced onion in the skillet, lid on. (But, hers is better!)

I usually grill mine:
