My Desire is to Magnify the Resurrected Life of Jesus Christ
... and on His robe and on His thigh He has a title inscribed, King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Rev. 19:16
It is my purpose to encourage, to challenge, to stir hearts, and to speak the Truth that is revolutionizing my life as I am getting to know my Lord as Master.

Handmade Gifts
...everything else is worthless when compared with the priceless gain of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.
My best shot this year at whimsical, handmade Christmas gifts.
What about you? Would you rather receive a gift with all its imperfections made with hands or do you prefer the store bought sure-fire type?
Cindy, those are beautiful. I will take an imperfect hand-made gift any day. I can go to the store and buy what I want, but a gift made by the hand of someone I love is a gift I will cherish.
I hope your Christmas was merry and that your days ahead be bright!!!!
Cindy, I agree with Patricia, first, those are beautiful little pots and next I always love to get homemade items, in fact in our family that is what we do. We all make things for each other and buy gift for just the kids. I gave the blueberry jam I made this summer. Happy New Year! If you have any time would you be a guest writer for my blog this month?? Love, K
Patricia and Kathy, I am with you. It's kind of funny that I used to make all my gifts when I was a young mom and busy up to my eyeballs with them and their lives. Now it seems I lean toward the easiest thing... purchasing. It was fun to kind of get back into the swing of being crafty.
Kathy, If you are asking about my writing a guest post for "simplifying your life"... here's what I would say: Stop blogging! Step away from the computer and stop trying to keep up with 3 blogs. Ha. Just kidding... that would just be for me. You can e-mail me with details.
There are many things that are perfectly legitimate, but if you are going to concentrate on God you cannot do them. Your right hand is one of the best things you have, but, says Jesus, if it hinders you in following His precepts, cut it off.
C. S. Lewis
If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end; if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin, and in the end, despair.
************************** I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.
Words not Lived are Words Alone
My worth to God in public is what I am in private. Is my master ambition to please Him and be acceptable to Him, or is it something less, no matter how noble? Oswald Chambers
Worship is giving God the best that He has given you. Be careful what you do with the best you have. Whenever you get a blessing from God, give it back to Him as a love gift. If you hoard a thing for yourself it will turn into spiritual dry rot, as the manna did when it was hoarded. Oswald Chambers
Please know I never intend to offend but it might happen as there is hardly anything politically correct about me. Of which I make no apologies. But I am passionate about learning and passionate about the Truth! In my endeavor of both I’ll be sharing a bit of ‘how I see it’ on this blog.
