Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins
Oh geeezz..
There goes the diet. :-]
warm ‘em in the microwave and put a couple scoops of ice cream on ‘em .. po’ man’s souffle.
Tough times can cause us to get our perspective turned around. I was reminded of this recently as I talked to a fellow-griever—another parent who, like Sue and me, lost a teenage daughter to death suddenly and without warning.
She told me she had been missing her daughter terribly, and she told God she felt as if she were hanging on by her fingernails. Then she felt as if God reminded her that His hand of protection was there to hold her up—that she could let go, and He would catch her.
That’s a better perspective, isn’t it? This picture reminds us that when troubles come and we feel least able to hold on to our faith, it’s not up to us. It’s up to God to support us with His mighty hand.
Psalm 37:23-24 says: “The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord . . . . Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; for the Lord upholds him with His hand.” And Psalm 63:8 tells us: “My soul follows close behind You; Your right hand upholds me.”
In tough times, we can become so preoccupied with our role in “clinging to God” that we forget about His promised protection. It’s not our fingernails that sustain us—it’s His loving, upholding hand.
I am off to the Lazy Boy store. I have been tasked with finding 2 chairs, recliners probably, to replace a couch in the living room....and preferably by next Wednesday.
Not too big, and fairly easy to get out of...so, I am off. Back in a little bit.
People without good functioning knees cannot get up from the couch very well. And he who sits in the middle can’t get up hardly at all.
This is just a flyby..
Wanted to touch bases and say “hi” to everybody.
I’m off to Texas tomorrow!
Woo hoo!
I’m all packed and ready to go.
Tomorrow will be a long day, so must be off to me bedchamber.
Love to all!

Looks like it's time for another installment of
DID YOU KNOW?
There are exactly 1,048576 bytes in one megabyte.
Half a byte is called a "nybble."
The color of the blood of an octopus is bluish-green.
If you toss a penny 10,000 times, it will not be heads 5,000 times,
but more like 4,950. The heads picture weighs more,
so it ends up on the bottom more often.
Fighting alongside Americans and British during the D-Day invasion of 1944 were 15,000 Canadians.
And it was the Canadian troops who were the first to reach their planned objective.
I've got to make my rounds.
But, you stay right where you are.
Keep the troops entertained and the Canteen clean...
Cause...if you don't...I'll tell Ma!
Sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS
PLEASE REMEMBER THEM ....
