I need to talk about covetedness.......the world says it's a good thing, it's not IT'S BAD...........

I need to talk about covetedness.......the world says it's a good thing, it's not IT'S BAD...........
   Got home and my 10 commandments bracelet arrived in the mail (the importance of keeping god's commandments has been recently sticky noted for me in a huge way Revelation 14:12 "Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.")
.......thing just seems meant to be, fits my wrist perfect.............lightweight, but noisy...................good for me thou to stare at in particular commandment 10 ------------ thou shalt not covet
Exodus 20:17 "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house,thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's."
This world is chalked full of people "coveting" and nobody even thinks about it much..............it's clean thought of as normal to like say walk in the mall and get all googly eye'd and say "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh look at that dress man I want that"
for instance
and everybody clean thinks that's like alright or whatever
course a dress in a store isn't your neigbhors new car
.................but if you covet enough things maybe then you will be coveting your neighbors new car???????????????? 
it could be a dangerous slippery slope I'm sayin?????????
and any of our neighbors could get nice nice shiny sportscars at any time!
most car stores offer 1% interest for 12 months still!
I think coveting is just bad plan, 
1 Timothy 6:6 "But godliness with contentment is great gain." It's immense gain to just be happy with what we all have, like right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The stuffs you have right now - be happy to have that!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  I feel fire and zeal just copying and pasteing these verses...................
1 John 5:2 "By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments."
1 John 5:3 "For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous."
  You could try and tell me "sheri the 10 commandments is legalism" 
naw
I'm pretty 100% the 10 commandments isn't legalism, 
and I'm well over 100% that we are supposed to keep god's commandments all 10 them. 
"and his commandments are not grievous"
Have a great week earth!

Thankful for "a hand up" Ephesians 2:6 "And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:" ................

Update 11/30/2023 I tried the willy wonka style hot cocoa at IHOP and their like Jr. Willy Wonka like pancake meal. And the hot cocoa at least at my IHOP is under $5 and IS WAY TASTY AND WELLLLLLLLLLLLLL WORTH IT. The pancake I was worried it was going to be "to sugary" - yes and then I added syrup anyways.............it's was fine................it tasted great and didn't taste like I was eating gobs of sugar. (I don't know if they use like less sugar for the purple frosting, like some low sugar frosting - it might be - cause I didn't like feel like revulsed by this pancake while eating it!!!!!!!!!!!)......................
Today I'm thankful for "a hand up" Ephesians 2:6 "And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:" 
  At church today (living hope church - pastor of living hope has service on tbn television http://johnbishop.tv/television/) pastor john didn't like use gobs of bible verses.......think he used at least one? But I most definately was "built up" Jude 1:20 "But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,"
  To gather in was the theme of todays sermon in my estimation, and not scatter LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE each other. 
Matthew 12:30 "He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad." You could gather or scatter, jesus most definately desires us to be gatherers and love one another have bowels of mercies towards one another............
today playing softball.........I thought on how softball relates to the body of christ
--------- some team players bat out
---------- some them bat out often even 
(((((pretty much all the time there is always enough players on their "A" game to compensate for the few having a bad day..........but even if we loose a game..............it's never been about loosing or winning in my team but about being a team in my estimation which I've really been enjoying that - I think that's pretty well awesome))))))
 There's so much love for each other on my team and all the teams of all the churches, a lot of unity, that I've been really happy to see. Many churches in my area coming together (have little mini bible lesson before all the games the teams do.....................always such unity, and oneness). Colossians 3:15 "And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful." I'm glad about this, I like all the unity I'm seeing/experiencing. : ) 
  This is one my love filled mush blog posts : ) 
  I love my softball team. 
For sure life is like softball hardly none us is going to bat ever last ball out there, very few of us is hosea conseco, and even the hosea conseco's have bad days I'm 100% about this. 
endure unto the end!!!!!!!!!
Matthew 10:22 "And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall besaved."
  ..........................ps sidenote a lot of my blog is foolishness, and I know it, this is the member of the body of christ that I am. My little putt out in the field........................and then some pastors larger putts out in the field and some more brothers and sisters putts out in the field ---------------- like I think souls could get saved, it be like AWESOME! 
 I have 0 clue if this is a good blog post or not, but gonna hit the publish button anyways : )
I LOVE THE BODY OF CHRIST
Have a great week earth!

The church might be a touch broken right now, but jesus still saves ABUNDANTLY, and he wants you set free from your cycle of getting in debt more, free from alcohol and/or drug abuse John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly................

Update 11/21/2023 my youngest young adult kid is home for the holidays, and my bike to peloton bike is in her room, and she's painting a massive painting in there right now, so I haven't had many chances to bike this week. But I have scooted the bike closer to the tv and have managed to bike a few times anyways 😁. Pic of the latest skirt "for modesty" I crocheted, just freestyle not me following any pattern. (I realize this isn't a matching outfit, I just woke up)..............................
(my latest painting, is a stilllife, classically trained painter I am, my parents nagged me to go to college and talked me into it, college was worth it though cause though I have 2 paintings at my etsy for $5 each that ain't selling, I'm able to paint for jesus - so that is worth it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
The church might be a touch broken right now, but jesus still saves ABUNDANTLY, and he wants you set free from your cycle of getting in debt more, free from alcohol and/or drug abuse John 10:10 "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly."
  I'm full out saying JESUS STILL WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FOLLOWING JESUS - THAT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! John 14:6 "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
  I say the church might be a touch broken right now cause, I done heard few weeks now some real sad sermons...................the type where the word of god isn't being preached in like the power of the word of god. 1 Thessalonians 1:5 "For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake." 1 thessalonians 1:5 is the verse I have to back this idea that the word of god should be preached in power and in the holy ghost. Nearly like many pastors these days are afraid to really preach, to really crack open their bibles on sunday. (when how liked you are as a pastor is a concern, cause $$$ is involved in how much a pastor is liked or not.......................your sermons will suffer if you cater to "men") Galatians 1:10 "For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ."
  If I get all busted for this, uhhhhhhhhhhhhh I'm already the offscouring of all things so um.......1 Corinthians 4:13 "Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouringof all things unto this day." That verse is a comfort to me, days where I think "oh no hardly nobody goes to my blog". I'm the offscouring of all things according to the bible, not a immense way up there high bar I need to reach there : )
  I think on 1 corinthians 4:13 and realize I'm not a failure, so it's real good for me to think on that well entire chapter.
  I imagine though being a "failure" as a christian is the same for all of us ultimately..........don't draw back
don't neglect so great a salvation!
Hebrews 2:3 "How shall we escape, if we neglect so greatsalvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;"
Hebrews 10:38 "Now the just shall live by faith: but if any mandraw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him."
Hebrews 10:39 "But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul."
  I think it's pretty simple to not neglect this so great a salvation..............it isn't so much work for us to pray in the day, to read our bibles. These things are exponentially dooable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
   Have a great week earth!

Isn't it something how you can be convinced your on the "winning team" and not be on it - UNTO THE PURE ALL THINGS ARE PURE! IT'S TRUE................

Update 11/16/2023 peloton bike results after near 2 weeks of biking..............bye bye stomach : ) (well it's going bye bye, it's a process) Peloton biking works at least for some people - I being one of "them people" that's the thing to note here..........


Isn't it something how you can be convinced your on the "winning team" and not be on it - UNTO THE PURE ALL THINGS ARE PURE! IT'S TRUE!
Titus 1:15 "Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled." I've mentioned don't wear jewelry and actually been around a lot of christians (not naming names) that think jewelry is some evil devilish hell stuffs.............BUT JEWELRY HAS TO BE OK................."unto the pure all things are pure"
pure
Romans 14:20 "For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence." 
"ALL THINGS INDEED ARE PURE"
 That includes tattoo's I ain't going to get a tattoo though, that's not my thing, never will be. (maybe mostly cause of a dream I had one night, were I was in heaven and god was real upset with me for having a tattoo I DON'T HAVE A TATTOO..............I just had one in a dream)
  Moderation I recogn must be the key, not buying excess of any one item Philippians 4:5 "Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand." 
  I still believe having natural looking makeup is bestest, but god isn't against people looking nice, and even jewelry it surely has to be "pure". 
  I know many don't wear jewelry out of reasons that they are trying to be extra zealous and on fire for god, but look I going to take a photo ok............................these some cheapo bracelets from the arcade and I like em................no harm in this buisiness...............
((((((((these bracelets don't have to do with the "pride of life" they are cheapo cheap cheap cheap little kids arcade bracelets))))))))))))) But a nice piece of jewelry surely must be also ok, for a job interview, or a wedding for instance!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The pastors wives, and women preachers I've seen on tv wearing all that jewelry...............they pry just really want to look nice for tv. They might not even wear that stuffs in their day to day lives. The bible says you won't know even a "true follower of jesus" by how they look Matthew 7:16 "Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?"
  It'd be nice though if I could be like "ah those people right there, those is all the elect of god look at them they don't have makeup on, they wear long skirts, they wear their hair in buns so shunning hairstyles etc." ----------- that's not how this world has ever worked and it never will be the measuring rod of who's "in christ" 
Maybe the measuring rod, is what do you love?????????????
Do you love the things of the world????????????
Or do you love people???????????????????
LOVE PEOPLE!
Have a great week earth!

Let's stop viewing people as the "enemy" and get back to considering what the real enemy is Ephesians 6:12 "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."

Update 11/15/2023 - Yesterday was one of my favorite Peloton bikes so far, I went on a "motown" music themed ride. When the playlist is really good like that, it get's real easy to bike all the sudden. A whole 30 minute ride and it went by easy.............
Let's stop viewing people as the "enemy" and get back to considering what the real enemy is Ephesians 6:12 "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." I've seen 4, successful singers out there demon possessed, singing you know modern music (their music is not holy, but they are also DEMON POSSESSED)
  Demonic possession is real, it is happening out there..............it is more likely then not that many churches in america have people in various amounts of demon possession attending their churches.
  LEGIONS the bible says...............Mark 5:9 "And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many." This stuffs has gone on since (well I don't know if adam or eve were demon possessed...............................one their kids might've been aka one that murdered his brother IT'S POSSIBLE)
   We are in a war! There are many demon possessed singers, with music meant to corrupt our children (the devil don't want none of us saved, the devil doesn't want none of us repenting and turning away from our sins no...................he wants us drinking, doing drugs, partying, listening to ungodly music THAT IS WHAT THE DEVIL AND HIS ARMY WANT FOR US.............and they are real and very much exist and are very active on this planet more these last days then ever before in my estimation)
  I don't like the "term" enemy even --------------- because I do not war, we do not war against flesh and blood.........................
and if we do truely war against flesh and blood
drop the swords that's my advice (though it can be hard, keep working to do that those of you you have my propensity to want to "defend" yourself much Matthew 26:52 "Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.")
But not the bible....................don't drop the one sword that will save your soul!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  Ephesians 6:12-14 "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;"

   Have a great week earth!

I much believe this is the "end times" "last days" be prepared have food stored up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....................

I am aware that I'm swimming "with sharks"
ya
it's a shark pool earth is
christians most them they have to pretend to "not be christian" RIGHT NOW
so that they won't be killed for jesus (or not as quickly)
Luke 21:16 "And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death."
I won't name names
but there's people with terrible lives in my estimation AND THEY WANT TO LIVE
they all want to live!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(sometimes people out there boggling my mind, I guess they want to live so badly the people who's names I ain't nameing, cause they know hell or being ghosts is awaiting them and they don't want that)
I much believe this is the "end times" "last days" be prepared have food stored up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....................
1 Thessalonians 5:1-8 "But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation."
   A time of peace and safety when people say ah we are safe there is lots of peace - bamn..............
"then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape"
  I have much reason to believe "the day of the lord" is a time of judgement upon the earth shortly before the return of the lord. Because the wording there in 1 Thessalonians 5:1-8 where it says "that that day should overtake you as a thief" ------------------- well if you were about to be raptured at that very point in time..............how would that day overtake you as a thief then?????????????? (you'd be poofed up into the sky then, there would be no need to make mention that the day should not overtake you as a thief) Wouldn't "the day of the lord" be a day of judgement upon this earth??????????????????????????? I think it would be. 
I theorize simultaneous massive earthquakes and tsumi's, and floods. God is able to do whatever He wants to do....................if He wants to let the whole entire globe know..................
Hey you need to repent
God can make that happen!
"But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief." We are not in darkness that that day should overtake us as a theif!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  prepare now is the time to prepare that day should not overtake us as a theif!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  Ya preparing is spiritual as well being prepared is................................where you choose not to be conformed to this world in it's "buy stuffs athon" (in my estimation less that's stuffs your buying cause you need that stuffs for this time of trouble upon the earth) Galatians 5:24 "And they that are Christ's have crucified theflesh with the affections and lusts." Cause I have much reason to believe we will go through the tribulation at least some. At the very least some horrible day right is about to happen upon this earth in 1 Thessalonians 5:1-8....................that isn't supposed to overtake us "as a thief"
    Seek 1st the kingdom of god everyday, have your heart your treasure be on the things of above not this earth. This earth that though it may be looking like it is doing good, eventually...................."For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape" 
   And that will happen for it's the word of god. It's going to happen. That day though don't have to take none us....................that day should not take nobody reading my blog by surprise...........now's the time to prepare! 
 do like I did --------- I collect water from both the front of my houses rain spouts and the back of the house as well. I have chickens. Sheep (you will need clothing then as well). Still working on storing food in 2 liter bottles........................
   buying cans of food in bulk also good plan!!!!!!!!!!!! Seed vaults are awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!! I myself am not prepared enough yet..............but I thank god that I believe god's word, that I have eye's that can see, I can see the increase in rumours of wars, and earthquakes, and floods, and the ocean starting to get at times higher more volatile................Luke 21:25 "And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;" 4 blood moons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Be prepared, 
your heart right
food stored up
and also fitness I think fitness is important 
(there could be like hospitals chalked with wounded people from whatever all entails 1 Thessalonians 5:1-8, I deem being healthy and fit as a good idea)
start eating right
excersizing even 15 minutes a day will do wonders for a person
your body is the temple of the holy spirit
it is something to take some care of!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
ps............don't freak out...........just be prepared, 
you be prepared no need to freak out when it happens
and have a great day earth!
LOVE

"Different strokes" for "different folks" loving and respecting people that aren't like me.....................

 To sheri 11/13/2023 this particular blog post is eery (in a good way), here I am with a trans child, and also peloton biking in 2023..............
my like whole "body shape" is changing biking........my shoulders the shape of them HAS WAY CHANGED PELOTON BIKING........and my shoulders look better now......I HAVE NO CLUE WHY BIKING IS SO "MAGICAL" TO THE SHAPE OF ONES SHOULDERS?????????.......
(I'm sitting here like "ok peloton, I hope many of you - by many I actually mean all - go to heaven so we can have this bike club for all eternity going" - hahahhahahah - for real though 👍👍👍👍👍👍)....................MY SHOULDERS NEVER LOOKED THIS GREAT BEFORE I STARTED PELOTON BIKING!!!!!!!!!................
"Different strokes" for "different folks" loving and respecting people that aren't like me........................ps (caitlyn jenner you go girl - she could be straight and truelly identify as a girl!!!!!!!! -------- I believe that is truelly possible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) More update 2018...............bible says if a man wears something that is a girls it is a Abomination in the sight of god. Deuteronomy 22:5 "The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the Lord thy God." It does not matter if Catlyn Jenner identifies as a girl or not............if he wears womens clothing "for all that do so are abomination unto the Lord thy god". This blog post is getting some traffic (people be potentially "witch hunting" me again.....................they want to find fault with me many people do out there, it very much looks to be..............they ain't going to my more "benign" blog posts they are going to ones like this one). I was trying to be nice, and give Catlyn Jenner some love, but people gotta all make that hard for me.........by their neverending witch hunt of me. 
   I have decided it's ok that the apostolic christian church of america doesn't like sports, or wedding rings, bangs, beards (some them appear to not like short sleeve shirts, colorful clothing, prints). That's their thing. And that's ok. For them. Update 2018 a sister of this church said they are wearing some the pastors beards now. So they've loosened up on things or so I've been told, bangs to. The only thing left apparently is they are mega against wedding rings. (whether that is the truth I have no idea, I haven't been to the apostolic christian church of america for a few years now................their no wedding ring thing is something that would make many people stay away from their church myself included - it's for sure not fun being made some "bad guy" for something you deem good aka wedding rings). 
   And they don't have to repect me either for me to "respect them" brian lately he been telling me "be the bigger person" -----------------------
sometimes I think well why do I always have to be the "bigger person"?????????
here's why myself.........................
Luke 6:28-29 "Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also."
   I've started liking biking a whole slew : ) You can't much ride a bike in the apostolic christian church of america I never heard of any sisters doing anything more then swimming or walking.............cause you can't much ride a bike with a long skirt to your ankles on. 
  This what I wear while biking..........................
If a skirt is to long it will get caught in the bike chains...........this provides "modesty" it's not me biking wearing the traditional biker spandex (not that I actually see a problem with the biker spandex, it does serve a purpose, it keeps the bikers cool, and adds to their aerodynamics) I made like 5 these circle skirts so far using this pattern : )...................it's towards then end of her tutorial............
   

1 Thessalonians 3:11-13King James Version (KJV)

11 Now God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you.
12 And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you:
13 To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.
AMEN!
Have a great week earth!

VLOG: I think we all sometimes get much to caught up in how the "outside" of our cups are looking, and the inside is so so so very important...............

I think we all sometimes get much to caught up in how the "outside" of our cups are looking, and the inside is so so so very important. I can't be the only one out there worrying "but what will people think of me"? And/or have tried to get some "acceptance" from a particular church. But if they ain't going to like you are accept you, they pry ain't going to like you or accept you nomadder what you do.................there'll always be something they deem not good enough, a joke you cracked, a multicolored shirt that was to borderline "worldly", and/or print, to bold of a color of a skirt???????
   There'll always though people people that love me, and those are the ones to think about.......and jesus. (maybe even some people love me from said now annonymous church I will not mention - cause I no have no swords dropped em : )
   It's a fact, most stores have lots of colorful clothing..........to avoid colors is well not impossible, but I'd say hard..............my idea of "life more abundantly" isn't relegated to just the hues brown, black, and navy...........((((((((((((I know full well that in the old testiment mixed fabrics was a bad thing..............but the old testiment wait was there a color of clothing banned in the old testiment???????????? I don't recall that???????????????????)))))))))))) Look around us color everywhere, prints I see prints to, I see prints on zebra's, tigers, giraff's.............etc. If god made prints and colors ------------- are they really terrible????????????????
corny sheri 2015 but I sheri 2023 forgive you
But anyways, the inside of the cup is what jesus said to focus on. Should there be maybe a bit of focus on the outside - ya..............I think it's very good to make a effort everyday to dress modest. But the outside the cup isn't the most important part of our cups 
It's the inside
do we love our enemies?
do we pray for them?
Do we care for the orphans and the widows (if that's just donating to a charity like this really excellent charity...........http://www.stellasvoice.org/) James 1:27 "Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world."
  Your cup could be the nicest looking cup in the world on the outside.........but if you don't love and pray for your enemies, and care for people really give your money, your time if you have enough time to give (me with 2 kids............not really any babysitters..............my time is especially lately it seems I'm in some kind of "time crunch" -------- having to make time to make things for my etsy store, and then make time to clean the house, by the time I'm done with that my husband and kids is home again). I listen to sermons etc. while making stuffs for my etsy store : ) 
Have a great week earth!
