Lead Me

"Lead Me" was added to the videos.  What a beautiful song!   The Lord's plan for the family is perfected in love. 

Ephesians 5 (Marriage—Christ and the Church) 22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. 24 Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.


25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, 26 that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, 27 that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. 28 So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. 30 For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. 31 “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” 32 This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. 33 Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.


Ephesians 6 (Children and Parents) 1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 “Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with promise: 3 “that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.”
4 And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.

Geese and Ducks

Spring is here!  As I sped over the last hill on the gravel road to town, a flock of geese and ducks sat off to the side of the road, on the cold waters of snow run-off from the hills.  Little green headed mallards and their mates were bobbing around with them. 

I didn't get a picture of them, but tried to catch another flock at another run-off pond a little later.  As soon as I stopped the pickup and rolled down the window most of them took to the air.  Part of the flock, on the other side of the pond, stayed long enough for me to get one quick shot!  They didn't mind me driving by, but they sure knew when I stopped!  I wonder just how smart those geese and ducks are!!!

The song  "Come Awake" was added to my blogger you-tube songs.   Doesn't that just describe most of us?   Walking around spritually dead!   The enormity of the awesome grace we have, to be able to talk to GOD -- this entity that created all of the world, the universe and all in it--is beyond understanding!  Why does He bother with such as us?  Yet, He loves us.   Let us be AWAKE and know Him!  He LOVES us!!!

Ephesians 5:8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light 9 (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), 10 finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. 11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. 12 For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. 13 But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light. 14 Therefore He says:

“ Awake, you who sleep,

Arise from the dead,

And Christ will give you light.”

A Surprising Turn With Potato Soup

Sometimes the most unexpected ingredients turn out so delicious!  The fridge is pretty bare for the fixings for potato soup.   Being hungry, I skipped the baked potato soup and put a pot of potatos on and boiled them until they were mush.  Scrounged through the fridge and tossed in all vegetables....cut up celery, carrots, broccoli, onions and boiled.  Then added a little milk and lots of Montery Jack cheese--maybe 1 1/2 cup.  Cooked everything smooth and then added about 3/4 cup cream.   From start to finish, the time couldn't have been more than 45 mins!

Grabbed a diet decaf pepsi and sat down with my soup.  What a blessing to enjoy

PS.  Next time I am going to cut back on the cream and throw in some sour cream.
pss.  Also, shake a cup of milk up with about 1/2 c flour before adding. 

(This was the post from the other day.  The internet went down and I forgot about the post!  The website apparently did an autosave.  :)  That was really good soup.  I see it didn't save the latest entry with my changes...ps's added)
