I'll spend the day with my folks on Sunday, and we'll go out for dinner at a great Italian place.

Italian sounds great. Have you tried Spanish food? I don't mean Mexican, or South American, but Spanish. I love Paella.
To: Victoria Delsoul
We've done that, too. There are some great Spanish restaurants over in Newark. Don Pepe, Fornos, and Iberia Peninsula are all famous Spanish restaurants. Do you cook Spanish dishes?

Nah, but I like the taste of it. I know how to make a few things... basic things, lol.

I know how to make toast -- that's about it.
Oh -- and ice, too.

Actually, I think I'm a better cook when I'm camping outdoors. Go figure.

I'm sorry to hear of this and join with everyone here lifting up your Aunt Dotty for God's healing and comfort!
I treasure your testimony on your parting words at lunch. My sister who is now at home with the Lord always suggested that we should live each moment as if it were our last, so there would be no regrets. How very true, as your testimony shows us.
To: DollyCali
I'm so sorry to hear about your Aunt Dotty! My prayers are with you all!!

Get Off My Back!
Who will deliver me from this body of death? -Romans 7:24
|
Roman emperors saw torture as a legitimate way to put muscle and teeth into their laws. They were known to bind the body of a murder victim to the back of his killer. Under penalty of death, no one was allowed to release the condemned criminal.
This terrible practice calls to mind the words of the apostle Paul in Romans 7. It's as if he felt that something dead was strapped to him and accompanied him wherever he went. As children of God, we long for purity and holiness, yet at times we feel helplessly bound to the "dead body" of our flesh. Even though we are new creatures in Christ and we know that the physical body itself is not evil, the tendency to sin is always with us. This causes us to cry out with the apostle, "Who will deliver me from this body of death?" (v.24). Paul answered his own cry in chapter 8. He said that through the forgiveness of Christ we are freed from eternal condemnation (v.1). Then by the strength of the indwelling Holy Spirit we are empowered to do the will of God (v.9). And someday in heaven these mortal bodies of ours will be redeemed (v.23). We are not hopelessly bound by the flesh. Praise God, Christ broke the power of sin! We can serve Him in newness of life. -Mart De Haan
At times sin's power within grows strong, Too strong, it seems, for us to bear; But Jesus says, "Look unto Me. I broke sin's power, so don't despair." -D. De Haan
To overcome sin, starve the old nature and feed the new.
