The Power of Information

Recently, I have been educated in many topics by leading Christian scholars, such as DNA, Cell Biology, Astronomy, Carbon Dating, and many others. As all of this plunges me deep over my head, I am absorbing so much! I encourage you all to get this information! There is so much information out there to support our faith in the Holy Scriptures (cover to cover), and we just need to use the resources we have!

More importantly than this, though, is the importance of memorizing scripture. I have been convicted these days that I have been found wanting in this area. There is so much scripture that can be used in daily debates or conversations, that we need only to hide in our hearts!

I pray that each of you would endeavor to not only let the Holy Spirit touch your heart, but also your mind.

Rosemary Honey Lemonade

I just love working in the kitchen- I'm so thankful the Lord gave me a hobby that is productive! Today I took regular lemonade and edited it slightly to make it more exciting :D The more basic a task, the more creative one can be with it! Let me share with you the details...

Rosemary Honey Lemonade


First:
7c water
3tsp rosemary leaves (3 small sprigs of fresh rosemary)
Boil, strain, and let water cool slightly

Put into pitcher:
1cup Lemon Juice
1cup Honey

Pour in hot/warm rosemary water and stir. Let cool and serve over ice.

(Variation: replace honey with white sugar and cool the water completely before adding it to the pitcher)

Thank you Mama for Praying for Me

Somebody somewhere was praying last night
when Jesus came in and I saw the light.

It must have been Mama. I heard her before as she knelt by her bedside,
her tears touched the floor.

Thank you Mama for praying for me. If you had not prayed, then where would I be?
They called you old fashioned but you loved the Lord
and your prayers touched the Master as your tears touched the floor.

She held to the Altar and wouldn't give in
till she knew all her children had been born again.
Just an old fashioned Mama but she loved the Lord
and your prayers touched the Master as your tears touched the floor.

Thank you Mama for praying for me. If you had not prayed, then where would I be?
They called you old fashioned but you loved the Lord
and your prayers touched the Master as your tears touched the floor.

God Bless the USA ~Lee Greenwood

If tomorrow all the things were gone,
I’d worked for all my life.
And I had to start again,
with just my children and my wife.

I’d thank my lucky stars,
to be livin here today.
‘Cause the flag still stands for freedom,
and they can’t take that away.

And I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

From the lakes of Minnesota,
to the hills of Tennessee.
Across the plains of Texas,
From sea to shining sea.

From Detroit down to Houston,
and New York to L.A.
Well there's pride in every American heart,
and its time we stand and say.

That I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

And I’m proud to be and American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.
