thank the Lord for door prizes!!!!

so today was the clubhouse christmas party, and MY name was the very first drawn for a door prize!!!!... like what are the odds of that? because i was first, i got to choose whichever prize i wanted.... and of course the very first thing i laid eyes on was like totally fantabulous!!!


lotsa knives...! plastic handles, but the blade runs the whole length of the handle - which is an awesome feature!


i've never had a garlic press before!


all this, and the base spins, too!


bamboos!!!


big spice jars... awesome!


*drools*... i've never had a knife block before! ... andi've never had steak knives, either!


....as i'm trying very hard to get away from plastics, i will be slowly replacing the nylon tools with stainless steel.... buy hey, i finally have a second soup ladle! and a serving spoon! ... and a replacement for my missing slotted spoon!!!!

*plus*, on top of that, everyone got a $15 gift card for wally world....

oh gee, Lord.... i feel so spoiled. *sniffs* .... thanks.

THIS BLOG IS IN NEED OF AN OVERHAUL. there are posts from years back i would not be able to post in good conscience now. i plan to overhaul the blog, and either delete or add a disclaimer to those posts. but that is gonna take time....

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
