He gives us all we need and even gives us help. And then He even lays out the path before us. Just follow.

We always make homemade salsa and in fact that is half the reason we grow a garden. Here is my super simple technique. It will take a bit longer if you don’t have a food processor, but just get a friend to help you chop. This will be enough to feed a small army, and is incredible with home cooked tortilla chips. ….. continued at bless-the-cook.com

resale shop in Memphis

Sometimes the best vacations aren’t so far from home. Sometimes they are within  a nice driving distance. We still have yet to visit the Smokey Mountains and we have lived [...]]]> This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Memphis Travel. All opinions are 100% mine.

resale shop in Memphis

Sometimes the best vacations aren’t so far from home. Sometimes they are within  a nice driving distance. We still have yet to visit the Smokey Mountains and we have lived in TN nearly 20 years, lol.   Probably about time. But a t the other end of the state is Memphis and from what I hear from the Memphis-savvy travel guide there are plenty of great things to do there. I am anxious to enter to win a trip package . I want to check out all of the resale shops. And all of the great outdoors activities like the Shelby Farms Park  and the Wolf River and especially the Mud Island River Park. But then again I would really like to see the Main Street Trolley Attraction, I remember seeing one in San Fransisco many years back.  As for the trip I can win, I think my family would love the Carriage Ride. Of course anything with horses would thrill them. But really I had no idea there was so much to do there. Our oldest daughter and her hubby took our grandbaby to the Zoo there recently just as a day trip but they really liked it.

My Simple Woman’s Daybook … July 27, 2010

this is one of my favorite parts of my blogging week, it keeps me focused, I have way too busy a week going usually so it is nice to just sit and ponder for a few minutes, today is no exception

Outside my Window … cloudy with the sun peaking through hope it will soon be raining

I am thinking … about how much I need coffee

I am thankful for… the rain, we need it, hoping we get more today

From the kitchen … only coffee so far

From the learning rooms … starting up a new year

I am wearing … t shirt and capris, again

I am reading … nothing yet today

I am hoping …  to catch up, feeling behind lately

I am hearing … very little, quiet at the moment, …. a distant duck ……

I am creating …always something new for my bookstore and giveaways here

Around the house … morning is moving a little slower, everyone slept in listening to the rain

One of my favorite things … my family

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week …. I have several things I need to catch up on..  and some giveaways in progress  stay tuned to my front page

How about a picture … hhmm, … more on this boy later

Wednesday- squash fajitas

Thursday- chicken salad and fresh corn on the cob and homemade coleslaw

“But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.” (1 John 1:7)

You know the body of Christ sure likes to talk about unity. Problem is is that it rarely revolves around Jesus. and if it did, and those involved truly had a relationship with Him, then the unity would be automatic and would not have be planned, organized, or talked about.

When He is the focus of your very being, things fall in place. And you cannot help but fellowship with others in love with Him.
