Off to the races..........1 Corinthians 9:24 "Know ye not that they which run in a race run all........."............

Update 6/29/2023 a tire went flat - very hot out, a guy stopped and help my husband change the tire. (to the spare tire) 

husband putting air into the "donut" tire cause it needed air. Scary driving on donut with not much air in it to the gas station - we survived. 

me at said gas station taking a cute selfie

1 Corinthians 9:24 "Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain." I am not 100% that even everyone out there knows that we are in a race............1 Corinthians 9:24 "Know ye not that they which run in a race run all.........................."

  All run in a race!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I recogn it is very important who you are running to..........

Are you running to the world to be friends with the world???????

James 4:4 "Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God."

Are you chasing after the money?????????? Loving some $$$$$$$$$?????

1 Timothy 6:10 "For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows."

Or are you.........................

Luke 9:23 "And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me."

   aka........"So run, that ye may obtain"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope everyone's week is going well. (I had a good time at church this weekend, the apostolic christian church of america of portland they do this verse for me........Ephesians 3:17 "That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love," --------------- if I didn't go to a church, if I did not belong to no church nowhere.............I do believe I'd likely have a bloated ego, I probably would then think more highly of myself then I should Romans 12:3 "For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith." Lately I'm I'd say pretty thouroughly "rooted and grounded in love" I'm very thankful for that. And if anyone out there doesn't have a church at the moment that you regularly attend I recommend finding a church be "rooted and grounded in love" 

LOVE

Matthew 25:35-40 "For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."
