It seems we most often think about how we can glorify God through our lives when we are active and strong. But I wonder if we should also consider how we might glorify God through our death.
After Peter denied Jesus three times (John 18:15-27), the Lord gave him an opportunity to reaffirm his love (21:15-17). Three times, Jesus asked, “Peter, do you love Me?” Then in a surprising change of subject, Jesus said: “‘When you were younger, you girded yourself and walked where you wished; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will gird you and carry you where you do not wish.’ This He spoke, signifying by what death he would glorify God. And when He had spoken this, He said to him, ‘Follow Me’” (vv.18-19). Jesus told Peter that others would take him where he didn’t want to go, yet by that unchosen way of dying, he would glorify God.
Paul said that it was his “earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death” (Phil. 1:20).
We can bring honor and glory to God as we live—and as we die.
Read: John 21:12-19

Egad! I made 100 on the Trivia!
But...I thought it was “Lions and tigers and bears oh, MY”. But what do I know. LOL!
Fun game, (((Connie)))
U.S. Marine Sgt. Monica Perez, of San Diego, left, helps Lance Cpl. Mary Shloss of Hammond, Ind. put on her head scarf before heading out on a patrol with Golf Company, 2nd Batallion, 3rd Regiment of the 2nd MEB, 2nd MEF, in the village of Khwaja Jamal in the Helmand Province of Afghanistan. Perez and Shloss are members of the Female Engagement Team whose mission is to engage with local Afghan women. On Thursday, Feb. 9, 2012, Pentagon rules will catch up a bit with reality, recommending to Congress that women be formally allowed to serve in more jobs closer to the front lines.
"You'll never fully know the safety and protection they provide."
God Bless our military men and women, wherever they serve, or have served.
Awww, Connie, you mentioned my baked beans! THANK you!
And now, the Big News: I’m CLOSING ON A HOUSE!
Demented Sis and I went house-hunting this week, and she found her dream house. And at the same time, so did I! I found a 2bdrm 2 bath, with a Florida room, a lanai, and a huge oak tree in the front yard. The place has all hardwood flooring, and a nice-sized kitchen for all my cooking ambitions.
I’ll get pictures of the new place as soon as I get moved in!
An American businessman goes to to To Tokyo on a business trip.
He hates Japanese food, so he asks the concierge if there is anyplace where he can get American food.
The concierge tells him that a new pizza place just opened, and they deliver.
The businessman goes back to his room, and orders a pizza.
Thirty minutes later the delivery guy shows up with the pizza.
As the businessman accepts the pizza, he begins to sneeze uncontrollably.
He asks the delivery guy “What on earth did you put on this pizza?”
The delivery man bows and says”We put on pizza what you ordered,-pepper only!”

DID YOU KNOW?
Murmansk, in Russia, is the largest city north of the Arctic Circle.
Olive oil is made only from green olives.
Nearly the entire production of green olives grown in Italy
is converted into olive oil.
Dinner guests in medieval England
were expected to bring their own knives to table
– hosts did not provide them.
The fork did not appear until the sixteenth century,
and fork-and-knife pairs were not in general use
in England until the seventeenth century.
One-fourth of the people who lose their sense of smell
also lose their desire for sexual relations.
Falling behind schedule fast.
Phone call took me away
