Today's Scripture Quote...

~Psalm 100~

Make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands!
Serve the Lord with gladness;
Come before His presence with singing.
Know that the Lord, He is God;
It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
And into His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
For the Lord is good;
His mercy is everlasting,
And His truth endures to all generations.

"All Fired Up"



Well, I just had a pretty exciting afternoon! I was putting some wood in our wood stove, when I dropped the lid lifter into the fire. I tried to get it out as quickly with salad tongs (how else was I supposed
 to get it? XD Also, our lid lifter is old, so it has a wooden handle on it), but before I could, the sweater I was wearing caught on fire! I had forgotten to roll my sleeve up first. I tried to put it out by hitting the flames with my hand, but it quickly went around the back of my neck to my left shoulder. I took off my sweater as fast as I could and hit it against the floor. I wasn't hurt, and my sweater wasn't either (the lid lifter handle is a little black, but it's also ok). It all happened so fast!
It was pretty terrifying! 
That was a pretty dumb thing for me to do.
Thank God I didn't catch the whole house on fire, too!

'Let us remember the loving-kindness of the Lord and rehearse His deeds of grace. Let us open the volume of recollection, which is so richly illuminated with memories of His mercy, and we will soon be happy.'

“Feelings come and feelings go,
And feelings are deceiving;
My warrant is the Word of God--
Naught else is worth believing..."

"One Lovely Blog"

 A couple of days ago,  I was nominated by Samantha
from Hearts That Whisper to do the "One Lovely Blog: 7 Things

my best shot. :)

 Rules:
 1: Thank the person who nominated you and include a link to their blog. 
2: List the rules and display the award. 
3: Add seven facts about yourself.
 4: Nominate 15 other bloggers. 
5: Follow on blogger the person who nominated you.


Seven Things About Me:

1) I am a Christian

2) I really enjoy being around (nice) elderly
people. :)

3) I love going to the ocean with my family

4) My favorite animal is the cat

Ok, I'm afraid I can't nominate 15 bloggers because
I don't know 15 bloggers (yet).
Unfortunately, the only two blogs I do look at have 
already been nominated ( Hearts That Whisper, and My Life As A Russian Spy). 
Oh well, sorry about that. :)

Anyway, thank you Samantha for nominating me 
for this. I enjoyed it. :)

Today's Quote...

It is either all of Christ or none of Christ! I believe we need to preach again a whole Christ to the world - a Christ who does not need our apologies, a Christ who will not be divided, a Christ who will either be Lord of all or will not be Lord at all!
-A.W. Tozer-

Caramel Apples


I tried making homemade caramel apples a few days ago.
They were very good, but I think I let them sit too long.
The caramel ended up a little bit hard. Probably because I had to reheat it a few times. Oh well,
they still tasted good though! :)

Here is the recipe I used:
