You would give anything to be able to splash cold water on your face. 5. You can attend any function wearing shorts and a tank top. 6. "Dres...
During the Passover meal there are four cups of wine taken (usually watered down) . Wine is a symbol of the joy of the harvest, and since all the feasts given to the Jews by God center around their agricultural lives this would make sense as the beverage of choice. Four expressions were used in Ex 6:6-7 describing His promised deliverance from Egypt. 1. "I will bring you out." 2. "I will rescue you from their bondage." 3. "I will redeem you." 4. "I will take you as my people....
I have been researching Passover for some time and am now teaching about it via a women's group on Thursday mornings. This is the beginning of a series on the 7 Festivals God gave the Jews after their Exodus from Egypt. Each of these 7 festivals point to the one that would come and did come. The four Spring Festivals have been fulfilled with the remaining three Fall festivals yet to be. Just as the first four were fulfilled in Christ's first coming, the last three will be in his second....
Got this in an email today and thought it pretty clever. A French teacher was explaining to her class that in French, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine. "House" for instance, is feminine-"la maison." Pencil, however, is masculine-"le crayon." A student asked, "What gender is 'computer'?" Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether compute...
Today in church we heard about a Gallup poll in the USA on Religion. It was a taken a few years ago. Where would you fit in? 95% believe in God 81% say they are religious........what does that say about the other 14% 70% say they are Christian 25% claim they lead a Christian life 20% say religion infulences their life 12% say they sacrifice all for God, 3% have a biblical worldview..........ouch!! That would be me. We also learned new words today such as " phro...
OSAMA & THE GENIE While trying to escape through Pakistan, Osama Bin Laden found a Bottle along the way and picked it up. Suddenly, a female genie rose from the bottle and with a smile said "Master, may I grant you one wish?" "You ignorant unworthy daughter-of-a-dog! Don't you know who I am? I don't need any common woman giving me anything," barked Bin Laden. The shocked genie said "Please, I must grant you a wish or I will be returned to that bottle forever."

Little things make me happy. Today was a good day. Today I hung out my clothes on the line for the first time this year. That made me smile. It was still a bit chilly but there was a breeze, no snow on the ground and a new clothesline just put up by my husband. So I lugged out my big basket and hung out two loads. I hate using the dryer, not only because I am cheap, but also I think hanging clothes out on a line is a lost art and nothing beats the smell of freshly hung-out -to-dry lau...
A very successful lawyer parked his brand new Lexus in front of the office, ready to show it off to his colleagues. As he got out, a truck came along, too close to the curb, and completely tore off the driver's door of the Lexus. The counselor immediately grabbed his cell phone, dialed 911, and it wasn't more than 5 minutes before a policeman pulled up. Before the cop had a chance to ask any questions, the lawyer started screaming hysterically. His Lexus, which...

They say two things are for sure in life; Death and Taxes. I work in the tax business and right now is our busy time. While I've written on this blog site on taxes, I've yet to write about death....until now. What happens to us one minute after we die? A question we tend not to think about much unless attending a funeral or sitting by a loved one's deathbed. I have been at the bedside of those in their last hours of life on earth and others I've heard about through close contacts. ...
My first child is about to be married in two and half months. Well he's actually my second son, but the first to be married. I can't believe it. Where has all the time gone? It feels like yesterday that I brought, what turned out to be, my smallest baby home eleven months after his big brother came to live with us. It's like only months ago it seemed he went from Winnie The Pooh to GI Joes to basketball and football, not to mention four years in college now coming to an end. . Boy ti...
The story of a man who was laughed at for building a huge boat in the middle of the desert 4,500 years ago continues to be a hot topic among scholars all over the world. The National Geographic Society's search for a wooden boat expert and visuals of wooden boat consruction is bringing them to Boothbay Harbor (Maine) Shipyard early next week as part of production for a television program tentatively titled "Mysteries of the Bible: Noah's Flood." For a segment on Noah's ark, National G...
Well since I put out quotes on the political why not from the Christians? Here goes: objectively speaking that is...... "If one takes a historically objective approach to the question, it is found that even secular history affirms that Jesus lived on earth and was worshiped as God. He founded a church that has worshiped Him for 1,900 years. He changed the course of the world's history." William Robinson-(Our Lord p.29) I am so with you here... "I am trying here to prevent a...
What a night!! It was crisp and chilly but not bone chilling. The stars were out. A good thing too because I went on a sleigh ride tonight. It was alot of fun. We crammed 14 ladies into this sleigh and huddled under blankets and sang as we were pulled along by two beautiful horses along a resort area in the tourist town we live in. We stopped to see the sites along the way. We saw the deer they have fenced in; imported from Europe. These were not your normal run of the mill deer. ...
"Lord, that I may receive my sight." Luke 18:41 What is the thing that not only disturbs you but makes you a disturbance? It is always something you cannot deal with yourself. "They rebuked him that he should hold his peace....but he cried so much the more." Persist in the disturbance until you get face to face with the Lord Himself; do not deify common sense. When Jesus asks us what we want Him to do for us in regard to the incredible thing with which we are faced, remember that He d...
