Yesterday, I wrote about keeping our minds on the narrow path, the one that leads to the narrow gate that leads to eternal life. Today, I am posting the updated pic. Have a great, Narrow-Minded Day, my friends!
I came across this pic today. They make it sound like narrow-minded is a bad thing. Jesus said, “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it.” -Matt 7:13 Being narrow-minded is a good thing. Making sure … More I am happy to be NARROW MINDED
Last night, I heard a young man sing “Imagine”, the song made famous by John Lennon. The lyrics really gripped me as I understood what they really mean. Link to original lyrics: http://www.lyrics007.com/John%20Lennon%20Lyrics/Imagine%20Lyrics.html Oh, it sounds pretty….. BUT What if we really look at this in Spirit and Truth? Imagine there’s no heaven –- Why … More Imagine
This is my kitchen table. Doesn’t that sledgehammer look yummy? How about the mold and mildew remover? Would you like a dust-mask with that? We are in the process of getting the house ready for sale so it’s kinda crazy around here. Last week, I went to my Weight Watchers meeting. The Leader asked, … More What would you like for dinner?
I have started to turn into my grandfather. Let me explain. My grandfather was born in 1903. There was a certain way of life that people experienced in those days. During his lifetime, radio and television entered the home. Cars became attainable for the middle class, and then became a necessity for those who lived … More I talk, I don’t TWEET
I have been blogging for 2 years now. It started out as an anonymous place to ‘vent’ –but it’s evolved. Sometimes I just write about common stuff, like my dog, and setting off the smoke alarm every time I cook. Many times, my blog talks about my faith in Jesus, and how I am able … More Will I reach 100?
This is an old saying of mine; for those times when life is so insane, that I feel that I am standing on quicksand: “I can’t find the floor!” We are re-painting the inside of the house. We are hoping to put the house on the market soon. We are downsizing–but we might move to … More I can’t find the floor!
What’s that smell?! I was just sitting here, minding my own business, and I noticed a terrible smell. To make matters worse, the smoke alarm started beeping. Loudly! Mom must be cooking again. I don’t know why she does the things she does. She puts something into a pan, and then goes into another room … More Oh no, Mom is cooking again!
My car started sputtering just as I reached the slums down by the river. “Oh please, just let me get to the church parking lot,” I whispered. My son and I had just driven two hours to attend my niece’s Christening. The car shook and clanked as I sped into the parking lot, dashed past … More First Weekend in April
I was reading the last few chapters of the book of Proverbs today. (Don’t you just love reading Proverbs 31 and going, oh yeah, that’s me, ah, that’s not me, that’s me, that’s not me….) Then I flipped some pages over and landed on Jeremiah 36. I hadn’t read it in a while. In this passage, The … More Where Jeremiah and “The Harbinger” Met This Morning
” Hear Me, you who know what is right, you people who have My law in your hearts: Do not fear the reproach of men or be terrified by their insults. For the moth will eat them up like a garment; the worm will devour them like wool But MY righteousness will last … More Do not fear
I decided to try to live in this century, and bought myself a NOOK. I am cheap (thrifty) by nature, so I went for the inexpensive “Nook Touch.” I went to a class last night at the local library, to learn how to download books from the library. It’s the modern equivalent to borrowing a … More Now that I’ve found NOOK – What am I gonna do..with it?
Daily Prompt: What was your favorite book as a child? Did it influence the person you are now? The book that brings back the best memories for me is Twas the Night Before Christmas. My father read this book to us with his own twist. For example: When out on the lawn there arose such a … More ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas….
So off we go into the Blizzard, in our boring white rental car. The trip was estimated, by our good friend Mapquest, to take 3 hours and 15 minutes. Our friend Mapquest does not account for bathroom breaks, icy road conditions, construction, or stopping to get coffee because the road has become a blur. The … More Last weeks journey – part 2
Yes, I know I did not do part 2 yet, but these are better pictures! After touring around the Boston (“Beantown”) suburbs, my husband and I took a drive up to Gloucester. It’s only about 45 minutes away from where our hotel was. For a while, I watched the ocean waves hit against the railing. … More Last week’s journey – part 3
Daily Prompt: Silver Screen From Toy Story: Woody and Buzz fall out of the van at the gas station, and Woody (the cowboy) tries to explain to Buzz Lightyear (the astronaut) that he is a TOY! He is not a real Spaceman! He’s a child’s plaything! Buzz looks back at Woody and explains, “You are … More You are a sad, strange little man, and you have my pity. Farewell!
“Do you have anything fun?” I asked the man behind the counter. “…fun?…” he echoed back, clueless. “Yeah, you know, like that red Mustang out there.” “Well, you’re going to be driving into a blizzard. Do you really want to rent a car with rear-wheel drive?” he replied with a snark. What a buzzkill this … More Last week’s journey – part 1
Today I went through an experience of extreme fear overtaking me. Things from the past came flooding into my memory. It was very overwhelming and, to use an overused word: terrifying. Usually when I feel emotions this strongly, I find some food and stuff the feelings back down. The fear is too much; I feel … More Common
Another day of craziness here. I skipped Bible Study today, because I really need to help Hubby, aka Mr. Porter to you. 😉 Upcoming trip to Boston, I need to wash my clothes and pack. Still working on that. We spoke to the Real Estate Lady, we will be looking at apts. Done. Meanwhile, we … More So what’s new?
