Toe Tapping Saturday Nite!

No supermoon shining here!  Perhaps the cloud cover will part and it will be visible a little later!   So, instead of howling at the moon, I thought I would instead do a little toe-tapping.  Hoping you enjoy country music as George Jones has "One Woman Man" on youtube!

It was originally done by Johnny Horton and he has been a favorite of mine since I can remember!

Well, that is the excitement for the night.  Tomorrow starts early.  God be with us all.

Scones with Cream

The wind outside was cold, but inside the temperature warmed up as I heated up the oven to bake some scones.   The only fruit available was dates.  Then oatmeal was substituted for the 5 grain flour and margerine for the butter.  We had some cream in the fridge and it was substituted for 3/4's of the milk. 

I held my breath waiting for the first batch of scones to come out of the oven.  Finally, fresh from the oven, I was able to have a taste.  It was delicious. 

Sitting at the table, with my back soaking up the rays from the sun, I enjoyed the scones with a glass of water, as I read the mail and newspaper.

Superfuzz, the kitten, was now outside, and trying to be very sneaky and peaking over the last remaining snowdrift, to check out the dogs.  She runs circles around Sam, the big black dog, but then Sam does need the exercise.

Out of touch with the rest of the world for the afternoon, it was peaceful and enjoyable.  God is good.

The Price for the New Life to Come

Watching the great destruction and loss of life that happened and is still happening in Japan right now, brings the realization that we are living on the brink of a new age.   That our lives, as children of God, though fragile in this world, will live again in the new world to come.  

We don't deserve this new life -- to live in the glory of an awesome God - refreshed and renewed and made whole, instead we do deserve eternal death!  Yet, we are saved!! The penalty of death for our sins, that we could never overcome, has been paid in full by the sacrifice of one man - born of woman, yet born of the Spirit of God--the only begotten Son of God.  His holy and perfect life  lived totally dedicated to the saving of mankind, His death on the cross became the sacrifice paid for mankind's sins.  No other man could pay the price, only the Son of God, Jesus Christ.  All done because He loved each of us!

Another video on the blog today.  It is "New Again".    Use the time we have left to bring all to Jesus.  The tribulation is God's wake up call to us that He is God and He is in control.  Many people will open their eyes to the truth and believe, and worship God and be saved.  Walk with Him and know Him now, He is coming soon!

Revelation 7:9 After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, 10 and crying out with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” 11 All the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, 12 saying:



“ Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom,
Thanksgiving and honor and power and might,
Be to our God forever and ever. Amen.”

13 Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, “Who are these arrayed in white robes, and where did they come from?”


14 And I said to him, “Sir, you know.”


So he said to me, “These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15 Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in His temple. And He who sits on the throne will dwell among them. 16 They shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any heat; 17 for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
