Wait for the LORD

Be Thou My Vision. Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart; naught be all else to me, save that Thou art Thou my best thought, by day or by night, Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light. Be Thou my wisdom, and Thou my true Word; I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord; Thou my great father, I Thy true son, Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one. Riches I heed not, nor man's empty praise,  Thou mine inheritance, now and always; Thou and Thou only, first in my heart, High King of heaven, my Treasure Thou art. High King of heaven, my victory won,  May I reach heaven's joys, O bright heav'n's Sun! Heart of my own heart, whatever befall, Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all. Amen.                                                                                                              

Oh the joys of dishes! Never ending are they not? So at our house doing the dishes is my responsibility. So day after day (sometimes not every day) I get the joy of tackling a pile of dishes. Which can be quite satisfying when you are all done, and you look around the kitchen and the counters are clean, and your job is done! Though at other times can just be a bore. (though good music usually helps with that :) ) I was sure, there must be some sort of poem about dishes out there and I found two that I liked.  1. Thank God for Dirty dishes They have a tale to tell. While other may go hungry, We're eating very well. With home, health, and hapiness I shouldn't want to fuss By the stack of evidence, God's been very good to us. 2. Please be a dear Do your dishes here For if you do not The house will be wrought With people dismayed  By the mess that's displayed And hence are not able To dine at the table For lack of clean dishes Restric

You lovers of the English language might enjoy this: There is a two-letter word that perhaps has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that is 'UP' It's easy to understand UP meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP ? At a meeting, why does a topic come UP? Why do we speak UP and why are the officers UP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report? We call UP our friends. And we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver; we warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house, and some guys fix UP the old car. At other times the little word has real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses. To be dressed is one thing, but to be dressed UP is special. A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP. We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night. We seem to be p

You think English is easy?? 1) The bandage was wound around the wound. 2) The farm was used to produce produce. 3) The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse. 4) We must polish the Polish furniture. 5) He could lead if he would get the lead out. 6) The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert. 7) Since there is no time like the present , he thought it was time to present the present. 8) A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum. 9) When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes. 10) I did not object to the object . 11) The insurance was invalid for the invalid. 12) There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row. 13) They were too close to the door to close it. 14) The buck does funny things when the does are present. 15) A seamstress and a sewer fell down into a sewer line. 16) To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow. 17) The wind was too strong to wind the sail. 18) Upon seeing the tear in the

1 Corinthians 13:4-13 Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends; as for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. For our knowledge is imperfect and our prephecy is imperfect; but when the perfect comes, the imperfect will pass away. When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became a man, I gave up childish ways. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall understand fully, even as I have been fully understood. So faith, hope, love  abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love. <3 How many times do we read this verse and just skim over it b

The other afternoon I got a hankerin for some cookies, and since i'm the only one at home who eats gluten-free the only I could get some was to make them myself! Though I wasn't so sure if i could pull the off....i'm still kinda new to making gluten-free food, and just about every other thing i've tried has failed the first time. Pancakes? watery as soup. Waffles? thicker than cookie dough. Other cookies? didn't taste quite as expected. so I was a little wary coming into. But they turned out GLORIOUS! :D I was SO happy! So, hey. if I can do them, so can you. If you are new to maknig things with rice flour, just to warn you, the rice flour has it's own special flavor, but it is still really good! Also if you want these cookies the same day you make them (if that makes any sense xD) make sure you have enough time. (the dough has to sit in the fridge for 2 hours before you bake them) Here's the link to the
