Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?

And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” that is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”     Mathew 27:46

Why?
For you.
For me.
For love and mercy and salvation and eternity.

God Bless you sweet reader. Let Good Friday wash over your soul and confirm all that you know as truth. Because it is true. Even in today's society of gray. Always gray. The truth will stand. Stand with it. In love.

Feeling Puny

It's one of those days...

But I am finding some distraction, (besides consuming massive amounts of kleenex and preforming detailed studies on the art of day time sleeping)...

That is my new cookbook (The Little Paris Kitchen). I have read every recipe and hope to feel better enough to start cooking some of them very soon.

And, of course, my new favorite Bible Study (James, Mercy Triumphs by Beth Moore) and my tablet.

Just a few friends to help me pass the time. In bed. Sick. Oh bother.

So God made a Farmer

The Little Paris Kitchen Cookbook

So cute.
So on sale. (here)
So 1 click order-able.
So totally ordered it.
So hope it doesn't come in French!!!

I hope that your 2013 is filled with joy and blessing!

Back at the Ranch....

Ok, so we don't really have a ranch.
But here is what would be happening at our ranch if we did have one (which, btw, looks a whole lot like what is happening at our home on the hillside).

We are counting down...

We are all decorated...

We (meaning me) are making the last of the gifts (still!!)...

We are remembering Christmases past...

Cleaning up after fun with friends (me again)...

Celebrating The Reason...

And being a little bit silly.

And in case I don't get the chance to check in with you again (refer back to #3) let me just say...Merry Christmas and God Bless you and yours!!
