The Spirit of Christmas...
Posted Wednesday, December 26, at 5:41 PM
(Monday, December 24, 2007 - I've been pressed for time, so here's an adaptation from another project... I didn't want to miss the opportunity to bare witness, here, within this season.)
The Spirit of Christmas -- is Pure Love. The pure love of the Lord, Jesus Christ.
One of my favorite scriptures is this:
1 Corinthians 12:31 - ... covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.
Then come the great words of Paul extolling the high status of charity in Chapter 13... these verses are oft repeated by lovers, one to another, for Charity -- a pure love, excels and exceeds almost all else... Sure! This is easy stuff for those among us that are easy to love and adore... (you, for example.) In Matthew Chapter 5 Christ taught: ... I say unto you, Love ..., bless ..., do good to them ..., and pray for them which despitefully use ..., and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: ... Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Here's to perfect Love! (which is willing to forgive a misstep, or two... or more - on the learning curve of life!) Here's to an evermore Joyful Christmas -may we lengthen our strides, and renew our faith in, and upon, His most excellent word! Wonderful! Counselor! Let earth receive her King of Kings... Merry Christmas - to all!
Alchemy Candy Co. From Dorie's Alchemy Candy Company -- "…putting the gold in yummy" Fudge 1C evaporated milk 3 C sugar 1tsp salt ¼ C (1 stick) butter Combine these ingredients in a heavy sauce pan, bring to a rolling boil -- reduce heat, but maintain rolling boil and stir constantly for 5 minutes...
Gettysburg This day in History - President Lincoln gave his Gettysburg Address - one of the most famous, and emotionally stirring, American speeches of all time - it took right around 2 minutes to deliver. For more, facinating information (- some of which I'd not been aware of before -) you can click on this link, below:...
Tat in the Cat!? I recently added 'funny cat photos' gadget. (You can customize and add "gadgets" to your google home page.) I snagged this one,(12921643) as an example & have renamed it: Tat in the Cat. What a 'Koi Kitty', this one has been made out to be! Appearantly you can customize your kitties too, who would've thunk it?...

The best he ever had... That's what our production manager, Lloyd Shields said about these Caramel-Pecan Cheesecake Bars. I used "real" everything in them, (vanilla, butter...) so they were just as decadent in calorie content as they what they were in flavor. These were easy, and fun to make!...
Slow Cooker BBQ... The first time I made this recipe I doubled it. (and then shot it off in an e-mail to anyone and everyone I thought would love a cheap, fast, easy meat entree that basically cooks itself). I revisited this last night only I used a pork shoulder roast rather than the ribs. (It was FANTASTIC!) I'll be enjoying pulled BBQ Pork sandwiches for lunch today, as an added bonus! =)...
Truth... many of us seek just that ...and so, "it" goes in this old world and in "Life"... I've been told (or I saw it, or read it somewhere - sometime ago...) that we each have been given a power so devine that not even the angels possess it, that power would be the power to choose. Free agency. Free Will...
Gone in half a heartbeat... By all accounts it happened that quickly... One moment clear sailing, the next - fully engulfed in the terrible storm. The sad news... is that this accident: http://cbs2.com/local/local_story_289172931.html (The Multiple car pile up - during a blinding sandstorm - North of Los Angeles - Tuesday Oct. 16)...
