Just as a reminder... the movie "Fireproof "opens this weekend. It is worth seeing and supporting!!!
Oh I had some big plans for a little kitchen extravaganza today... complete with featuring several of you and your recipes and your blogs. It was going to be a tasty day for sure.
And then the writing bug finally bit me once again. All things homemakerish have gone to a far away place temporarily. Kind of like gasoline. Just as a side note, we have none in this town o' mine. None.
Oh the homemakerish things will be back next week as soon as this book is done.
I will have to be especially homemakerish next week if the gas doesn't return. I think I'll be scrounging the neighbor's corn fields gleaning left over stalks and trying to figure out a way to make some kind of home made ethylene. Can't you make gasoline from that?
Or is that the making of moonshine? Can cars run on moonshine?
I was talking with a friend yesterday about the lack of gas and the economy. Isn't it interesting that when America started talking about taking "In God We Trust" off our money, that things started going down hill? Almost as if God is saying, "If you take me off your money, I will take the money off of you."
Not that I'm trying to put words in God's mouth. I'm just making an observation. God has been patient with America for a long time.
Now on a slightly related note...
I am working on finalizing the chapter that invites people into the glorious possibility of seeing God and recognizing His hand of activity in their lives. And I want to get your input. I have quoted many of you in the book so far. I'll be sending out e-mails in the next couple of weeks letting those of you that I've quoted so far know about it.
But today I'd like to gather some more of your thoughts.
Have you ever been frustrated when others talk about hearing from God or seeing His activity in their life?
What do you think holds some people back from experiencing God and hearing from Him?
Lastly, look at these following verses and if anything strikes you, let me know your thoughts.
Thanks sweet friends. Have a happy weekend! Here are the verses:
1 Corinthians 2: 9-11, "However, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him"but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit within him? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God."
Isaiah 48: 3-6, "I foretold the former things long ago, my mouth announced them and I made them known; then suddenly I acted, and they came to pass. For I knew how stubborn you were; the sinews of your neck were iron, your forehead was bronze. Therefore I told you these things long ago; before they happened I announced them to you so that you could not say, 'My idols did them; my wooden image and metal god ordained them.' You have heard these things; look at them all. Will you not admit them? "From now on I will tell you of new things, of hidden things unknown to you. "
Matthew 13: 33- 35, "He told them still another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into a large amount[a] of flour until it worked all through the dough." Jesus spoke all these things to the crowd in parables; he did not say anything to them without using a parable. So was fulfilled what was spoken through the prophet: "I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter things hidden since the creation of the world."
