Ephesians 2- Part 2

Study and learn. Be changed.  Ephesians 2 Made Alive in Christ 1 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, 2 in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. 3 All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh[a] and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. 4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. 6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not

Trying to fill mom's pants... LOL...

-
Yesterday was Mother's Day and I felt well loved.  There were homemade cards, homemade earrings, and demands for me to sit down.  My sweet husband made me a gluten-free coconut cake which was ooooooh so good.  (Coconut is my favorite...yet the rest of my family strangely doesn't enjoy it).     He cooked breakfast, lunch and dinner!  What a blessing he is to me!  

After having the day completely off, I have to admit that it is hard to leave that Princess-for-a day time behind.  It is a little harder to not feel my blood pressure rise ..over normal kid stuff today.   Silly, huh?

Tim Hawkins, one of my favorite comedians, wrote a song about when he had to fill his wife's "shoes" for the day.  Here is the song he wrote.   (Lyrics below)...   Enjoy the laugh from me...and Tim Hawkins...  Off to go get my yoga pants...


My wife was out for three days to visit her mom,
I was supposed to cook and clean, while she was gone.
Somehow she never buckles under all the demands,
I had to know the secret, I had to understand.

Well, I thought it might be coffee but that gives her the shakes
It might be soap operas but she says they're too fake
It's not the car she drives or what she puts in her hair
I realize it's got to be something that she wears - yoga pants

She wears them all day
Yoga pants, at work and at play
Yoga pants, what's all the fuss
What makes them so special that they keep them from us?!?

Well any normal person would leave it alone
but I'm not a normal person and nobody was home
My wife was out of town and my kids were outside
I went into the bedroom and decided I would try! - yoga pants

So stretchy and thin!
Yoga pants, feels like my own skin!
Yoga pants, where you been all my life?!?
I've never done Yoga, but it's made me want to try!
Yoga pants, so soft and so sleek
Yoga pants, feels good on my cheeks!
Yoga pants, these are the best
If you're waiting for a video...don't hold your breath!

      I am so thankful that God tells us laughter is good for us.

      Proverbs 17:22 A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit saps a person’s strength.

      Psalm 126:2-3 Then our mouths were filled with laughter and our tongues with joyful songs. Then the nations said, “The LORD has done spectacular things for them.” The LORD has done spectacular things for us. We are overjoyed.

      Job 8:21 He will once again fill your mouth with laughter and your lips with shouts of joy.

Why does God call us sheep?

Before you jump to the conclusion that I am saying Christian are "brainless" sheep, read this post completely.  If you still aren't sure, read this post:  Are Christians brainless? Why does He call us SHEEP? ( The Bible makes reference to sheep no less than 220 times).   A few of the more notable passages that come to mind are the 23 rd Psalm, Isa. 53:6 and John 10.  There are many references to His People being sheep. So why not something more powerful, like a ram or horse? Why not something more graceful and valued, like a prized bird? Well, God chose to use the word sheep to identify His followers, as we are "His sheep." Our shepherd, Jesus, is leading the way, so let's look at the facts about sheep-the  nature of  sheep.  Let's look at the facts about sheep- *Sheep aren’t intelligent . Sheep are not known to be smart or cunning animals when it comes to safety; rather, they are susceptible and tend to wander away from the prote

Lessons learned the first 50 years

I hit a milestone. I turned 50 years old. I am thankful that I don't feel 50.   I am thankful for things God has taught me throughout those 50 years. .  I have learned that God loves mercy and when I feel a sense that justice needs to happen over mercy, all I need to do is remember that I am thankful for when God gives me mercy instead of a just punishment.   (Micah 6:8 8 He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.) ( Luke 6: 36  Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful. ) I have learned that hurt people end up hurting people.   When I am able to see that I didn't hurt them but I am bearing the results of that persons hurt inflicted by other people, it helps me forgive whatever hurt they pushed onto me and move on.  (Romans 12 : 18  If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. )  I have learned that anyone who thinks they have God

Rayman Rabbids Cake- 1/2 Birthday celebration

Image
At a certain age... I suppose 18 or so... half-birthdays are no longer as important to you as when you are young.  Right now, the kids love having their 1/2 birthdays celebrated.  We don't do much. We tell them "Happy half-birthday!"... and they are allowed to choose what we have for dinner (within reason... no  super expensive choices .. like crab legs or sushi).  And, they do get to have a  cake.   John-Michael is 8 1/2 today. I haven't had any of my children ask for a character-cake in quite some time...until last night.  We were out very late watching the laser light show at Stone Mountain Park.  A few hours before... John-Michael springs on me that he wants a Rayman Rabbids cake for his half-birthday.  Now, I have church in the morning and knew I wouldn't get home before midnight last night... not much time to figure our how to make that kind of cake.  So, like most things...I just went for it.   I bought Twinkies ...pretty sure the first Twinkies ,,,. th
