i baked.... believe it or not!

just getting moving for the day. slept until 11:00 am; at 9 am, even after 8 full hours sleep, i was too dopey to wake up so instead of giving myself the misery of sleep interrupted by the alarm every 9 minutes, i just turned it off so i could get some real sleep for however long i needed. well, at 11ish, my unk knocked on the door of my house, bringing back the car from being 'winterized', said the a rear shock was leaking and almost out of fluid, so of course both back shocks need to be replaced, and the rad needs a good flushing as it's pretty grungy. and my beloved unk also took away that stinky matress pad mom had gotten from home care nursing and was making my face itch more and more each day, hallelujah it's GONE! whoo hoo! thank You Jesus!

enough blabbing. cell was great last night, only 5 of us, but that's a perfect fit in my itty bitty livingroom, and the kids went to libby's which was perfect as we didn't have stompin' tom connors stompin' away on the ceiling above our quiet time of study, discussion, and prayer!

and next week cell is apparantly not going to be held in just one of our homes, no, it's going to be held in 10,000 villiages! fun. lets get physical, physical, and put our muscles where our mouths are and actually DO something for our world! yeehaw!!!!!

gosh, that makes me tired just thinking about it! lol. oh well, be there or be square, rah!

i baked cookies last night. well, i should say that i added water to powder, mixed it, and threw it on a baking sheet in clumpfuls that turned into one huge mass of oatmeal. so my cookies were more triangular than round by the time i cut them all apart. what was supposed to make 30 cookies i turned into 11 huge cookies, then cut them smaller. and i took them off the pan while they were still too soft, so they fell apart a fair bit, too! o wa ta sheff iy am!

ok, i'm going to get moving in my getting moving for the day and get out of the house for a while, head over to the clubhouse and meet pam there maybe, then maybe visit with her for a bit. play some crib perhaps. then go visit the mothership over yonder in room 209.

i'd really like to get some of those old headbands with the springs and the sparkly ping pong balls on top, that look kinda like alien antennae might look like. hey, after all, as a christian, i'm an alien, a stranger in a strange land, and i'm going to head out today to reconnoiter with the mothership.... and one day i'm going to head home to my home in the heavens. where's my anntennae when i need them?

The Radical Summons: "
Therefore let us go to Him outside the camp and bear the reproach He endured. For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come." Hebrews 13:13.

"The Spirit never loosens where the Word binds; the Spirit never justifies where the Word condemns; the Spirit never approves where the Word disapproves; the Spirit never blesses where the Word curses." —Thomas Brooks

‎"God receives none but those who are forsaken, restores health to none but those who are sick, gives sight to none but the blind, and life to none but the dead. He does not give saintliness to any but sinners, nor wisdom to any but fools. In short: He has mercy on none but the wretched and gives grace to none but those who are in disgrace. Therefore no arrogant saint, or just or wise man can be material for God, neither can he do the work of God, but he remains confined within his own work and makes of himself a fictitious, ostensible, false, and deceitful saint, that is, a hypocrite." --Martin Luther (W.A. 1.183ff)

i will not let You go: "Jacob's sense of his total debility and utter defeat is now the secret of his power with his friendly Vanquisher. God can overthrow all the prowess of the self-reliant, but He cannot resist the earnest entreaty of the helpless." --Albert Barnes

i will not let You go: "Jacob's determination did not flow from his strength, it flowed from his weakness." --Charles Leiter
