OOOOPS ... I deserve the corner today!

Post #'s 938 and 939 are the Red Friday Opening.
How could I miss pinging you to them?
Just a dunce, I guess.

Support our troops today and everyday.

Polly, you won't be sorry for chosing Johnn's Fry Bread.

Sorry, but you have to deal with the calories in this one!

By the way, if you replace part of the warm water with warm beer, you get a Hops/Barley flavor that is reminiscent of some of the older European breads.

Top with either butter and maple syrup, or sprinkle on powdered sugar and/or Cinnamon as desired.

Poor Amy. I think you are trying to do too much. I’ll sit in the corner with you and I’ll bring Christmas cookies!

HUGS!

I miss The Mayor and his ODB post this morning! Are you on the road, Mayor? Hope all is well. Let us hear from you.

Take care and have a warm red Friday.

Ohh ... you are so sweet. Thank you.

With all the rain, the soccer game scheduled for this afternoon was cancelled. I’m not sure what I will do with all the supplies in the trunk of my car.

We do have movie night tonight so we will sell a portion of it. I will be happy to get 6 lbs of weiners and 5 dozen hot dog buns out of my freezer. LOL

I’m looking forward to those Christmas cookies and I know I will enjoy the company.

Have a Fantastic Red Friday.

Forgive me while I gripe a minute. This morning I sent this email to Kohl's department store and would like to let everyone know why they have lost my business....
I went to your website this morning to order three Christmas gift cards for family members and am unable to find one that says “Merry Christmas”. This would not be quite so disappointing had I not found gift cards imprinted with “Happy Hanukkah” and “Happy Kwanzaa”. I find many beautiful, colorful designs and cute “fa-la-las” and “let it snow” with holiday trees, holiday cookies, snowflakes, ribbons and stars. But “Christmas” nowhere to be found.

It is very hard for me to believe that excluding the word “Christmas” from your gift cards is an oversight. Kohl’s apparently has a problem with my faith, and I have a problem with that. I am a Christian, I celebrate Christmas. I realize that losing my business over this issue is not going to hurt Kohl’s bottom line, but there is a principle involved here and I shop where my business is appreciated. I will be purchasing my gift cards from Target. They have not succumbed to the pressure to eliminate “Christmas” from this season. They have a gift card design that actually says “Merry Christmas”.

By the way, today is the first day of Hanukkah. Happy Hanukkah to our Jewish friends and neighbors. We join with you in celebrating your "Festival of Lights".

I think we should all sent them email. I get so tired of hearing Happy Holidays. When I hear it I say “And a Merry Christmas to you too.”

I haven’t been to Kohl’s website. I’ve been to Amazon and need to make an electronic purchase from Costco.

Thanks for sharing your gripe, which I’m sure we will all join.

Sounds like a good reason to drop Kohl’s, if they intend to dup on Christians, they don’t need my money either!

I agree! That’s why I am spreading the word here, on facebook and on twitter. It may not make any difference at all to them, but I feel better. :-)

Here is the repy I received from Kohl's....

Thank you for taking the time to contact us regarding your giftcard issue.

Currently this merchandise is out of stock at Kohls.com.

We appreciate the time you took to contact us and look forward to serving you again.

Sincerely,

Judith S.
Gift Card Specialist

Out of stock? Maybe they should have anticipated this by making more "Merry Christmas" gift cards available. After all, it is "Christmas" and it shouldn't be surprising that there would be a demand for "Christmas" gift cards. Also, if this is truly the case, I believe it would behoove them to show their "Merry Christmas" gift cards on their gift card webpage with "out of stock" printed beneath.

I am just not buying this excuse and I am not buying their gift cards either.

Yes, I was on the road stuck in the blizzard overnight. I spent 25 hours inside my car.

Tears Of Repentance
Peter went out and wept bitterly. —Luke 22:62

My husband, a self-proclaimed computer illiterate, purchased a computer to help him with his business. After giving him a few pointers, I left him alone to do some experimenting. It wasn’t long, however, before I heard a slightly panicked voice from the office: “Hey, where’s that ‘uh-oh’ button?”

What he had been looking for, of course, was the “undo” key that lets you backtrack when you’ve made a mistake. Have you ever wished for one of those in life? A provision to reverse, repair, or restore what’s been broken or damaged by sin?

After Jesus’ arrest, Peter, one of His beloved disciples, denied three times that he knew Him. Then, we read, “the Lord turned” and simply “looked at” him. Peter “went out and wept bitterly” (Luke 22:61-62). His tears were most likely tears of shame and repentance. No doubt he wished he could undo his actions. But Peter wasn’t left in his misery. After Jesus’ resurrection, He restored Peter, giving him opportunity to reaffirm his love (John 21:15-17).

When you sorrow over sin in your life, remember that God has provided a method of restoration. “If we confess our sins,” He will “forgive us” and “cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9).

We’re thankful, Lord, that when we fall
We can begin anew
If humbly we confess our sin,
Then turn and follow You. —Sper

The way back to God begins with a broken heart.
