Goodness, I could do this all day!

Romans 1:20 - No Excuses!

People often say things like "If God is real, why doesn't He show us?"
Well, He did ... it's called Creation.

"No, no, that's just evolution. It's nature," they reply. "But if He was really real, why doesn't He send us a clear message, in black and white?"
He did ... it's called the Bible.

"Oh, that was just written by men. It's an interesting old book. Nothing more. But if He was really, really real then why doesn't He come down here and show Himself to us physically? Because then we'd believe."

Once again, He did ... and His name is Jesus. And they still don't believe.

FYI:

I garden in zone 5/6.

I make no promises about any recipes I post, such as their storage life or quality or safety. You are responsible for any that you decide to try.

I have not had any of the information I share here (particularly about essential oils) evaluated by the FDA. Nothing I say is intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent illness. And nothing I say is guaranteed. It is only my opinion on things and what we do around my house. And I am sharing it only for your information and entertainment. But it is your responsibility to research anything you attempt to do for yourself or your family.

And I apologize now for any sarcasm. Actually, I don't. I enjoy being sarcastic, and I don't get to do it enough in life because I believe in being kind and gentle and nice to people. So it will come out in my writing. Just ignore whatever you don't like or take it for a grain of salt.

And be forewarned that many of you will be offended by various things on this blog. So don't read it if you are easily offended. And if you do read it and get upset ... I warned you. And apparently, you didn't listen which means you chose to be upset and offended, which means you like getting upset and offended, and so you really should be thanking me for making you upset and offended instead of getting mad at me for it. ;)

Oh, and I am an INFP (the Mediator), according to the Myers-Briggs personality test.

Christian Videos Everyone Should Watch Once:

Come on ... I dare you. Watch these videos at least once in your life, when it's quiet and you're alone and have time to think. What do you have to lose!?!

Sweetly Broken by Jeremy Riddle (A life-changing, heart-changing song for me.)

Oh, What Love by The City Harmonic (This song says it all! If you only watch one of these, pick this one!)

My Jesus by Todd Agnew (That's my Jesus! It's why I love Him! Why I serve Him! Why I want to be like Him! Such a great song about who Jesus really is.)

We Believe by the Newsboys (When you strip away everything else, this is the basics of Christianity.)

Manifesto by The City Harmonic (Love it! Love it! Love it!)

Secret Ambition by Michael W. Smith (I have always loved this song. And FYI, Jesus is not yelling at the boy but He is commanding a demon to come out of the boy.)

Fell Apart by The City Harmonic (For those who are hurting ... it's okay to fall apart in front of the One who can put you back together again!)

I AM by Crowder (He's always there holding onto us, calling us to hold onto Him.)

Forgiven by Crowder (Forgiveness is always available, no matter what you've done.)

Come As You Are by Crowder (You don't need to polish yourself up first, just come to Him as you are!)

Grace Like Rain by Todd Agnew (Grace is raining down on us all ... will you stand in the rain or hide from it?)

Colored People by DC Talk (Because we need this song in our country right now)

God's Not Dead by Newsboys (Because ... He's not!)

The Champion by Carmen (A blast from the past)

And I am adding this Christmas one because I think it deserves to be played all year. It's so beautiful, it brings me to tears. And I imagine it's how heaven will sound - Christmas Canon by Trans-Siberian Orchestra. (Or for the more rockin' version - Christmas Canon Rock.)
