O, Church, come stand in the LIGHT

"You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love. The entire law is summed up in a single command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”If you keep on biting and devouring each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other." - Galatians 5:13-15

"In an attempt to hinder, if not altogether halt, the next move of God, Satan has sent forth an army of faultfinding demons against the church. The purpose of this assault is to entice the body of Christ away from the perfections of Jesus and onto the imperfections of one another." - Francis Frangipane

"Now the question is, 'Shall we have a great and mighty harvest, or shall we go on discussing our differences?'"- D.L. Moody

The cry goes up

across the nations;

wedding music 

shakes the hills.

"The feast is ready!

Come be merry."

All the world with gladness thrills.

This, O Church, is quickly coming,

we preparation now must make.

Alert and ready may He find us

clothed in His glory, adorned, awake.

Chocolate & Raspberry Fun

Step 1: Pull off the side of the road and fill whatever containers you happen to have on hand with wild raspberries.

Step 2: Mix a dollop or two of Greek yogurt with a couple spoonfuls of powdered sugar. Add a heaping handful of coconut. Form into little balls and put them on crackers. Put on parchment paper/cookie sheet.

Step 3: Melt some Ghirardelli baking chocolate (microwave on half power for 2 min; stir.)

Step 4: Spoon melted chocolate onto coconut balls. Realize you have lots of extra chocolate. Go to the pantry, get peanuts, pretzels, and peanut butter. Go crazy - cover everything in chocolate.

Step 5: Refrigerate until hardened. Then eat.
