This verse is starting to TRANSFORM my entire life Matthew 25:29 "For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath."........

Update 3/10/2024 matthew 25:29 means GIVE in my 2024 estimation, give your money to help out poor etc. etc. to church so they can hopefully help the poor hopefully when donating to churches you ain't just lining pastors pockets. Give your time, give you wisdom ---------- GIVE! A stingy life will just lead according to Matthew 25:29 to loosing everything eventually. 

(I'm painting Bob Ross pieces nowdays this is my interpretation of "Arizona Splendor" season 5 Episode 8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8JPvZMX9ks)

This verse is starting to TRANSFORM my entire life Matthew 25:29 "For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath." (we aren't supposed to be conformed to this world but transformed by the word of god - AMEN! Romans 12:2 "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.")
  OK..........right now we are in perilous times let's just admit it................a time where people all over the place are posting up pics on the facebook and the instagram (I do it to but for reasons other then being self absorbed..............................people got me believing I'll like stop existing pretty much if I don't post some pics up.................and it's a way for me to be "social" for me these days EVERYTHING is now pure, it's your heart in the matter that makes the difference 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." If your putting up all those photo's just to be sociable, it maybe ain't great, maybe not a great example for unbelievers................god looks at our hearts...........it's men that look at the outward appearance 1 Samuel 16:7 "But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.")
 But anyways these are perilous times 2 Timothy 3:1-2 "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy," Can I be honest???? Sometimes I don't even see social interaction on the facebook, or the instagram, so that I don't see people replying here on my blog often doesn't surprise me. I'm not trying to judge, I'm just trying to hone in on the peril of the times we live in and the realness of said peril. 
  And why is it peril, I've mentioned this on a previous post, cause if we loose our salt, the bible says how can we regain the saltiness Matthew 5:13 "Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men." That is where true riches is located I believe, in loving people, don't we all know it?????? What do we all say on thanksgiving but that we are thankful for friends and family!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
THESE FACEBOOK/INSTAGRAM PHOTO TIMES ARE PERILOUS INDEED!!!!!!!!!!!
  Matthew 24:12 "And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold." I risking yet again getting busted with the baptist's : ) probably not though : ) pretty sure the baptist's love me. Which is AWESOME! But anyways, I look around my current church and I wonder..........is the love growing cold??????? Were they once a much warmer to each other people?????????? I do not know the answers but these things I ponder. But if this has happened, to the baptist's or any church for that matter....................
It's not their fault probably it's going to happen everywhere pry cause the bible says it's going to happen Matthew 24:12 "And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold."
   At every church there is a bit of a high archy I estimate.........................
there is the day care workers
there is the sunday school staff
there is the church secretary
there is the church band members
......................if in the event the people not so active in the church, like got all worked up by how much the church band members were congratulated or something.................their love could grow cold????
  It's gonna happen, iniquity will ABOUND, and the love of many shall wax cold.
And by iniquity the bible means 
those that "have"
and those that "have not"
Those that have will have even more!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And those that "have not" will loose even the things they seemeth to have!!!!!!!!!!!!
   Matthew 25:29 "For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath."
  But this is how my life is being completely transformed ROCKED by Matthew 25:29...............AND YOU CAN GO AHEAD CALL ME A COMPLETE BIBLE NERD : ) 
  If you just have some right.
serve a bit right
this last week I taught a painting class at the baptist church I've been going to
More shall be given right to those that "hath"
  You could look at me and think your seeing the most miserable pathetic earth scirge since the beginning of mankind ---------------- and maybe you'd be even right in having that estimation.................but god's about to abundance me GALORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 I mean you know sooner or later if I keep at it..........Galatians 6:9 "And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not."
  ps.............I'm being serious, if someone has Joel Osteens e-mail address, could you e-mail this post to joel osteen, because his message is often focusing on the hope there is for good things in the future for us if we just heed god's word.............like my blog is these days. I want Joel Osteen to use the stuff in this post, rip me directly off joel osteen PLEASE.
  Cause we might many of us be in churches were the love seems to be growing cold. Now more then ever I'm saying the body of christ I believe needs to believe in the power of the word of god, in the power of god to save us fully and transform us, and our lives.................in a great way!!!!!!!!!!!!

   Have a great week!

LOVE

I want to urge people not to be fearful to have a ministry, that god is plenty able to keep one humble......................

Update 3/8/2024 Myself people don't want to really follow jesus THEY LIKE HAVING FRIENDS...........(including yourself sometimes that's why time and time again you've caved and started wearing jewelry CAUSE YOU WANT TO BE LIKED) to bad for you myself your living "life more abudantly" 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." Friends ='s your headed to hell

no friends ==== success your following jesus probably headed to the pearly gates pry

Mark 13:13 "And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved."

(one of my latest paintings, yes that is a actual street reflector thingy - 

I bought it at a local craft store..........in a hippy town)

I want to urge people not to be fearful to have a ministry, that god is plenty able to keep one humble. I suspect there are a great many people that stay quiet out of fear that they might get prideful. Though I am fully aware, that many if not the bulk of "ministries" are in the form of letters or e-mails to people and/or churches, paul he wrote a great deal of letters in the bible (he also received a great deal of letters). I do not hear of many people even getting such "type" of letters in the mail, but I hope they are happening out there. ((((I myself both write and e-mail them to people))
  For surely we should be speaking to one another in many bible verses 2 Peter 3:10-11 "But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,"
  But anyways, back to my idea that god is able to keep us humble 2 Corinthians 12:7 "And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffetme, lest I should be exalted above measure."
  God isn't in the buisiness of setting us up to fail, god's in the buisiness of setting us up to succeed!!!!!!!
 Though pride is something to think about I believe, both general pride and what the bible calls "the pride of life". Recently reading the bible I came across a verse that really grabbed my attention............
2 Samuel 17:23 "And when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his ass, and arose, and gat him home to his house, to his city, and put his household in order, and hanged himself, and died, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father."

  Ahithophel, for sometime was a leader right and he was used to people doing what he said............whether he had pride or not I can't say. What I can say, is it's good to be prepared for the idea of people NOT listening to you. 

  For sure, I mean ok like if I'm like the lowest of the low right. If I'm like the grime of society right. If I be for sure the bottom of the barrel or close to..................

God can use me! 

God can use all of us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1 Peter 5:5-7 "Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you."
  I love this song........I ain't sure it fits this post, but it fits my thoughts today. I want heavens light to shine down on me : )

Have a great week!

Ms. Dippel's classrooms fundraiser is now fully funded 😁 But there are many more classrooms with many more needs at Donors Choose..................

sheri 3/8/2024 pictured below, coffee caffeinated coffee is skinning me out like never before...................(but if you go on a "coffee diet" I eat foods to - know restaurants won't tell you if diet cola's are decaffeinated less you ask them and many of them only have caffeinated diet cola's from my experience.................you really got to keep track of all your caffeine on the coffee diet ----------- I drink 2 caffeinated coffee's a day.............one decaffeinated coffee also a day WHICH IS PART OF MY COFFEE DIET OH YA...............and that's all the caffeine I injest in a day) I make sure to only drink decaffeinated diet colas. No "zip fizz" either no energy drinks, chocolate I believe has caffeine, only little chocolate not tons.

The bible talks about the "foolish virgins" they went and had fun cause they saw jesus christ's return was tarrying (this is my estimation of things) NOW IS THE TIME TO BE AWAKE!...........................

Update 3/1/2024 just more painting...................planted some grass seeds in the backyard, this time covered them with hay so they should grow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!............

(ps, this is another mini painting, and I zoomed in to take this picture.................so it's looking almost a little pixilated...................that's the spots where I didn't use much paint on the canvas....................at least these mini paintings let me know ----------- "ok few more coats of paint")

The bible talks about the "foolish virgins" they went and had fun cause they saw jesus christ's return was tarrying (this is my estimation of things) NOW IS THE TIME TO BE AWAKE!
Matthew 25:1-9 "Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves."

  I'm not 100% about Matthew 25:5 "While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept." If all of the body of christ sleeps - but I don't think it's the case though many pastors have taught that to me over the years that the whole body of christ would sleep.

  Maybe I am asleep.............maybe most us are all nap nap???????????? Maybe I'm clean in a jesus christ comma right now thinking I'm writing a blog awake while I'm like actually like sleep walking????????????

 god wants us ON FIRE

even if we are all asleep right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  This war against the lusts of our fleshes it don't end maybe til near the point of our deaths.....................it takes zeal and fire to win this war!!!!!!!!! Paul in the bible didn't say he finished the course until he was old...................could take a long time to finish the course???????????????

2 Timothy 4:7 "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:"

 I'm including a janis joplin song in this post cause I think there are many a slumbering christian (not sure if the whole body of christ ain't asleep, I'm saying some are indeed slumbering to much - not having enough oil for their lamps IT'S IN THE BIBLE!!!!!!!!) My advise to the "too asleep" "Just try a little bit harder"................................

  Lot of soul to some of janis joplins songs, I'm feeling her sometimes, maybe it's just cause she felt??????????? Maybe she was just so alive????????? (if anybody can even grab what I'm trying to say SHE WASN'T ASLEEP)

  My parents one day on a long car drive talked a slew of smack about janis joplin, they estimated that she was like the most wicked woman ever...........................I was a teen at the time.......................that just perked my interest in janis so bad ----------- I was sure she hadn't killed nobody or nothing, how could this lady be that bad. I clean to this day can't see with my eyeballs looking at janis joplin footage all the house of horrors badness about her that my parents said existed.................

I see a 20 something kid bit mislead that's about it. Who maybe like had a ruff childhood and such. I don't see someone that couldn't of been saved, or loved! 

  I see hope really.

   I need to try a little bit harder I believe.......to love more. 

  Sooooooooooooooooooooooooo..........................................................I went ahead and dyed my hair full out blonde. I work (well as a volunteer) at a christian thrift store, that has influenced my decision to go tichel less ------------ this has been a long drawn out decision. 

  I felt like a target, wearing that tichel. Pastor at my church 2 sundays ago gave this huge sermon about how the wall of partition is gone and nobodies better then anybody else. 

I hadn't done nothin I swear I was just sitting there that sunday wearing a tichel only pry christian jew in the building. I suspect a "big deal" was being made about my tichel. Tryin to get the gunfire off myself a bit. 

  I do not believe my hair is my glory my long hair was scraggly it didn't feel glorious for me really (I was enjoying covering it up with the tichel ----------- but annoying everyone around me looks to be) 1 Corinthians 11:15 I'm saying keeping my hair long wasn't a option if I was going to walk around with it in view, all for the sake of not making people uncomfortable. I wasn't digging my long hair at all...........except when it was nicely tucked away in a cute tichel then I was digging it. 

 Not only do I bear a resemblance to marilyn monroe I agree with her when she said.............."It's all make believe isn't it?" I have a hard time believing a great deal going on around me is actually real.............in my estimation there must be at least some level of "pretend" going on. OR I HOPE SO AT ANY RATE! 

 But it don't matter how we look, it does a bit as far as how people perceive you etc. But it's how we love 

and live I'd say (even if we just read our bible, and pray in a day ------------ GOD NOTICES THAT ------------ THAT'S WHAT THE BIBLE IS SAYING WHEN IT SAYS "AWAKE TO RIGHTEOUSNESS" THAT'S A PART OF THAT IDEA THERE!

1 Corinthians 15:34 "Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame."

  Our lives may not look to different from the worlds somedays in someways (we many have jobs, etc. etc.)...................that effort of reading your bible and praying that is different! 

That ain't what all this world is doing out there! 

Tryin a little bit harder! 

ps...........I realize I look a touch like marilyn monroe and I do enjoy that : ) that is fun in my estimation. I'm a definate marilyn monroe fan..............I think marilyn did look for the good in people like I do. Though I know she tried to declare herself a villian (I don't view her as a villian at all) she needed jesus though..........we all do.

Mrs. Barrientos's classrooms fundraiser is now fully funded 😁 But there are many more classrooms with many more needs at Donors Choose................

The "rat race" for money, and status etc. it's real and it's a rat race ok...........you all need to with jesus christ's help turn into cats get your cat walk on..................

 Update 2/27/2024 common year 2016 mini me, you must rat race to have money to give to god. Luke 12:21 "So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."

zeal and fire otherwise known as

else barf

you out of god's mouth

Revelation 3:16 "So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth."

today's painting : ).............

The "rat race" for money, and status etc. it's real and it's a rat race ok...........you all need to with jesus christ's help turn into cats get your cat walk on..................like jesus and lucifer alright, they both cats.........facts....................
1 Peter 5:8 "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:" - the devil himself he ain't runnin around that gerbil wheel tryin to be something big in this world.............naw, "as a roaring lion" 

As a cat!

clever guy he knows what's what

He knows not to be no gerbil running silly on no wheel!

Revelation 5:5 "And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof."

The lord ain't no gerbil either, he a lion RAWR!

THE GERBIL WHEEL BIBLE VERSE.............

1 John 2:16 "For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world."

  If you gonna stay in the "rat race" you gonna keep up doin 1 John 2:16............you gonna keep up lusting in your flesh for GARBAGE YOU DON'T EVEN NEED MOST IT

  And you gonna have all kinds of the "pride of life" cause you bought all this ----------------------

  And then you gonna keep on that gerbil wheel to maintain you pride of life cause you bought all this ---------------------------------------------

  That's just stupid. 

You know what cat's do???????????????

  Man, let me tell you what cat's do. They like go grab a bite to eat real quick......................AND THEN THEY ACTUALLY NAP. 

  Not gerbils ok..............................

they run around and around and around and around and around that wheel

 Hebrews 4:9-11 "There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief."

  I'm in like rest mode......feel me???????????????

  I don't even get these gerbils................pertinerre running for nothing.........................if you get the goods the "goods" right...........that are all so "cool" in this world....................few minutes later that stuffs is out of date, and you need the next latest "goods". And you don't even get there, little gerbils..................................you run around silly on that there wheel. The tv show "Keeping up with the Kardashian's" isn't titled ---------------------- go buy some gucci -------------- and bamn your a kardashian..................

no it's titled "Keeping up with the Kardashians" --------- at best you on a silly gerbil wheel runnin yourself silly just trying to KEEP UP with the kardashians. 

Forget that. 

I'd rather be like uncool for jesus - meow. 

(pic of me and my husband)

 Forget the lusts of the flesh, forget that gerbil wheel -------------------------- 

Like god wants us to be like zealous for good works right, so as a cat MEOW, you need to like move a bit. But like like most the day..........ya. 

  Like for reals earth........................I'm tellin you what I can tell you right now ok. Lucifer is called a roaring lion....................he ain't being no gerbil on no wheel for reals. And the lord jesus christ called the "lion of the tribe of juda" lion all kinds. CATS! LIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOT GERBILS! 

Matthew 6:25 "Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?"

  Don't think about what your going to eat or what you are going to wear, or even don't even think on fitness to much ("nor yet for your body") that's gerbil logic right there. 

MEOW

".............IS NOT THE LIFE MORE THAN MEAT, AND THE BODY THAN RAIMENT?" AMEN 

meow

Have a great week!

Mr. List's classrooms fundraiser is now fully funded 😁 But there are many more classrooms with many more needs at Donors Choose....................

Looking like Marliyn Monroe doppleganger past few weeks has gotten me thinking about "shamefacedness" 1 Timothy 2:9 AND WEARING MY TICHEL AGAIN.....................

Update 2/25/2024 experienced a burst of energy last night and went on a mini cleaning spree --------- love it when that happens 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓

  And regarding mini me from 2016 - myself marilyn monroe look alikes exist - it's ok to be "pretty" You dress modest you don't be's taking "booty pics" -------- your doing fine, calm down.

All the rocks that are in this magical crystal world 😁 were in the tray below, but now the tray below is just holding randomn clutter - WHICH IS ME ORGANIZING. The rocks weren't working out in the little tray anymore cause I had to much clutter waiting to go in that tray............now all the clutter is in the tray #success 😁.................

Looking like Marliyn Monroe doppleganger past few weeks has gotten me thinking about "shamefacedness" 1 Timothy 2:9 AND WEARING MY TICHEL AGAIN.....................
1 Timothy 2:9 "In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;"

  The whole celebrity scene makes one believe ah glamor this is the thing. I've decided that need for "shamefacedness" comes from this very skill women seem to be much to good at............

aka being glamorous

  Man aren't as good at being glamorous, what can they do??????? Put on a tux, smoke a nice cigar, nomadder how nice their shoes are..........they are only going to look so glamorous. Women though us ladies, we can drape on jewels, faux furs, gowns We can look out of this world glam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  God don't want us christian ladies doing that I've decided. It's hard..............in this selfie obsessed land, and I immensely feel the pressure having a super model sister, that I can't completely compare to, I'm not that skinny. And not all my selfies have that glamorous polished look to them that all her's do. But she is a supermodel and it is her job to look fabulous 24/7 and like most all super models she's really good at it.

  I'm back to wearing tichels..............I look good I think, it's a shamefaced look I believe.......(and I know not all christians is going to all start wearing tichels, I know other christian ladies have other ways to get this "shamefacedness" look going ------ via you know toning stuffs down in other ways whether that's not wearing flashy clothing etc. etc. ----------- I know you all gots skillz I'm sayin ---------- keep it up)

This world is glamour, we ain't supposed to be friends with this world that is glamour. (now my sister is a super model and that is her job and she is doing her job - if she took more homely looking selfies and put them online the modeling agencies might ding her for that). Hard for me constantly seeing all this glamour around me, and I want to look glamorous.............but the bible says don't do that. Take your selfies down a notch the bible be's sayin.......I think. 

   God don't ask none us to be faithful in a lot of things nope it's just a few everyone...................

Matthew 25:23 "His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord."

  It's great ladies and gentlemen to be faithful over the few things god has given us to be faithful over, let's do this!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have a great week!

Mrs. Gutoskey's classrooms fundraiser is now fully funded 😁 But there are many more classrooms with many more needs at Donors Choose..............

I'm a nerdy "McFly" from the movie "Back to the future" and I'm determined to 1 Peter 5:6 "Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:".........

Update 2/23/2024 died my hair light pink, I am mega happy about it 😁 (It is bubblegum something hue by lime crime..............and I didn't put the whole tube of it on my head, just enough to get the shade of pink I was after 😁)....................ps I am glowing in these pics no filter........................

I'm a nerdy "McFly" from the movie "Back to the future" and I'm determined to 1 Peter 5:6 "Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:"
  As a nerdy "McFly" from the "Back to the future" I noted, that McFly had 2 future's possible and don't we all, at least potentially have a few "future possibilities" that could happen to us?????????? Ecclesiastes 9:11 "I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but timeand chance happeneth to them all."
  In one future McFly was still beated up by "Biff" and biff happened to be a bully, but I think in life biff could possibly not be a bully but just someone or some people that tower over you.............or stand in the way of you reaching your potential.
  In the other future McFly was having Biff wash and buff his car. But I noted McFly was caring and compassionate towards Biff towards his ex-bully, and in that part of the movie biff was still McFly's ex-bully ------------
who biff was didn't change
who McFly was changed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
   I noted not only did McFly change via more compassion for people. I noted how now in the good future for McFly he was dressed well. And his wife hair I noticed her hair was so much better, and she was wearing some nice makeup (not done in a bad streetwalker way her makeup, in a nice very classy way).
  1 John 4:16-18 "And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love."
  Though you know loving people this is the real way to be a McFly and not a biff. I guess I watched "Back to the future" to many times, and/or I'm to determined to be a successful McFly. So I want to look nice. Like look nice while I'm loving people. I guess just cause?????????????
   When god finally raises us up, don't that mean looking good to?????????????????? I honestly need this whole passage of bible verses to make my full point................
Luke 12

22 And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.

23 The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.

24 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?

25 And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?

26 If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?

27 Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

28 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?

  Per my reading of the bible, god ain't going to cloth us McFly's badly. 

love one another 

love, love, love, love, love seek god daily for surely the bible is true....................Luke 12:23 "The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment."

Have a great week!

Love McFly's wife

Sometimes I add a photo to make my blog a bit more interesting - or try. I've been going to the gym often, and my efforts on the elliptical have been paying off : ) I'll spend a full hour on the elliptical, few times a week anyways lately. Put in time in the bible it'll pay off, put in time at the gym it'll pay off. 

Mark 9:23 "Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things arepossible to him that believeth."

Mr. Wells classrooms fundraiser is now fully funded 😁 But there are many more classrooms with many more needs at Donors Choose..................

Are you really free?

 UPDATE: As of today 2/22/2024 I'm trying to sell isopods cause I have of one breed not the breed pictured 500-1000 isopods (in a very large container, I don't have them in small containers - I've got them in giant "isopod worlds"). 

  One of my kids I mean young adult kids got me interested in isopods - man they really started something. Your not supposed to be every other day or so, I'll grab the isopod bins lift the lid and watch them walk around 😁 And I have them located by my computer - so I also watch them at various points throughout the day walking around. 

  If they don't sell ------- I have 2 hermit crabs. Which slight cringe I did give them some isopods (live ones - hence slight cringe) ummmmmmmmmmmm they seemed to of ate ATE those isopods cause I gave them a good 10-15 isopods and they don't look to be alive in the hermit crab enclosure...................................slight cringe.

tried to show how large that cool "ghost white" dairy cow isopod is, it's actually larger then the end of my finger, it's GIANT 💓💓💓💓💓💓 I have a few ghost ones 💓💓💓💓💓💓

yep I lifted a log covered in little baby isopod bugs  💓💓💓💓💓💓 💓💓💓💓💓💓 💓💓💓💓💓💓 💓💓💓💓💓💓 💓💓💓💓💓💓 💓💓💓💓💓💓 💓💓💓💓💓💓 💓💓💓💓💓💓 💓💓💓💓💓💓 💓💓💓💓💓💓

Are you really free?
  My ideas about freedom have changed. Once I thought if I kept the apostolic christian church of america's rules about wearing a bun in my head, and (well clearly I didn't follow their no bangs rule : )  but I thought that free'd me up from being a "friend of the world".
  The only bible verse about hair in the bible or one of the very few, maybe there's another?
   1 Timothy 2:9 "In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shame facedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;" Don't have braided hair and that is it!
  Though I'm certain there has to be "mercy of god" towards african american's braided hair because, if they keep their hair natural it needs to be braided in many cases. (if their hair wasn't braided it would likely dreadlock...........yes I have experience with this type of hair).
   So lately I been wearing a wig, I felt trapped by the bun thing............instead of free I was feeling unfree. Or maybe unfree????????? I didn't like the whiff of maybe no free--edness.

  (those that wish to judge this photo and probably hate me go ahead judge away..........I've decided I forgive you, for the very people that would judge me and hate me, are the people most "bound" on this earth)

When jesus said John 8:36 "If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed." He meant free! Though I still think it's a plenty good plan to cover you head with a headcovering if you are a girl on sunday, when praying (if you don't have a poofed out wig on your head and can manage that that is..................).
  I think this crazy hairdo actually helps motivate me to dress modest (well most girls myself included wouldn't want to be thought of as a ----------------- insert street worker word here)

  I be's wearing baggy sweaters (and enjoying it : ), long skirts, baggy pants, etc. all kindssssssssssssssssssss these days : ) 

 Freedom is a wonderful thing! And I am a american and I love it! 

The bible much alludes to the idea that you will not know a people by how they look.........Matthew 7:20 "Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them." You'll know them by how they love. 

  God wants us ladies to not wear expensive clothing 1 Timothy 2:9 "In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shame facedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;"

no expensive clothing

no braids in hair

no gold and pearls which is basically expensive jewelry 

and wear modest apparel

--------------------- I went for years to churches that wanted to add to 1 Timothy 2:9 and say no jewelry don't wear no jewelry...........well it doesn't say that in 1 Timothy 2:9 it says don't wear the expensive stuffs. 

  God made us to be like girls. He didn't make us into boys. We many of us like glitter for instance - well we are girls - amen!!!!!!!!! 

  To the pure all things is pure 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."

  If you find some cheap cute costume jewelry at claires that you just gotta have........................ya it's bestest to suffer in the flesh as much as possible 2 Corinthians 1:5 "For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ."

  For reals though, getting real with the ladies...................................if there is a cute cheap 50 cents necklace at a garage sale....................that's 50 cents that's like free. 

 Is my logic that of a idiot for jesus's sake?????????

ya

I like suffering for jesus cool beans. It's supposed to be happy time following jesus "the joy of the lord is your strength" you don't want to get to feeling like your being chinese water tortured following the lord. Nehemiah 8:10 "Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the Lord is your strength."

  If a 50 cent piece of jewelry at a garage sale makes following jesus a happy time - hey buy that!!!!!!!!!!!! You could tell me my logic is idiotic.....................but maybe it is genious????????????

Have a great week earth!

Is your love "awake"????? Song of Solomon 8:4 "I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, until he please."...............................

Update 2/20/2024 just got done going for a walk got a rainbro at dutch brothers coffee.......................

Is your love "awake"???????????? (verse 4 below)

Song of Solomon 8

4 I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, until he please.

5 Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? I raised thee up under the apple tree: there thy mother brought thee forth: there she brought thee forth that bare thee.

6 Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame.

7 Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned.

 Once I was big on the idea of "becoming something" even the bible itself seems to point at the idea of it being a good plan to "become" something 1 Corinthians 12:29-31 "Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles? Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way." It says in verse 31 "covet earnestly the best gifts" ------------- covet, desire to be something maybe a bit "larger" in the schemata of things is how I read that there bunch of verses. 

  Though I find if your the 1st of all the list of 1 Corinthians 12:29 you are the dinkest. It's not joke..........1 Corinthians 4:13 "Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day." Though my mom says "everyone likes me" and I think there is truth to this. I'm going to pay like earth a compliment, I do think there is a great deal of good in most everyone, a great deal of capacity to love and to care for one another, and I do experience that. I am not stoned, shipwrecked, jailed, the house of horrors things that happened to paul do not happen to me not to that extent. 

 Do I have a massive instagram following um no. Am I racking up the likes big time right now? - nope. But surely I am not shipwrecked, or stoned, or jailed. So my mom is probably right everyone does like me. 

  But back to 1 Corinthians 12:31 "But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way." I've decided this "more excellent way" jesus wants to show people............jesus wishes that people could acheive the 1 spot of apostle, so he could show them this "more excellent way". I believe this "more excellent way" is something we all can acheive. 

   This "more excellent way" is when you don't seek your own 1 Corinthians 10:24 "Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth."

  I tell you all, I have found to be in a lofty place means nothing.........without love it means 000000000000000000000000000000000000 Song of Solomon 8:7 "Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned."

  For reals right now, I know most us secretely value the "likes" on the facebook, and the instagram and for some of us our bodybuilding.com bodyspaces ---------- if we had zillions of "likes" and a high place on this earth Any kind of high place and no love, whether in our hearts or not many people genuinely loving us That would be worth 0 would it not? 

I'd rather instead of seeking these "likes" codemn my own house for loves sake from the jump!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And both love and be loved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1 Corinthians 13:13 "And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity."

   Have a great week earth!

Ms. Dennis's classrooms fundraiser is now fully funded 😁 But there are many more classrooms with many more needs at Donors Choose...................

I took note one day that without love a person isn't "useful" Matthew 5:13 "Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men."...........

Update 2/15/2024 peloton biked yesterday 😁 NO ASTHMA AT ALL, and NO ARTHRITIS lately. I attribute all this success to probably peloton biking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..................peloton biking could change YOUR LIFE.............

this is my hair unduffused ---------- I juuuust started wearing my natural curly hair all "natural" again. Last night I put a fair amount of coconut oil in my hair...............so today the coils should be even tighter, and today I AM DIFFUSING MY HAIR, and likely adding gel to my hair as well do the full out whole thing to my hair. So it's going to get even bigger then this 😀

poor me in 2016

least you hadn't given up on life 2016 me.........................

I took note one day that without love a person isn't "useful" Matthew 5:13 "Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men."
  My e-mails now for the elder of the apostolic christian church of america and his wife, and my aunt seem to be reaching them again, and I was instructed to love them. To not give up.
  The bible does say Galatians 6:9 "And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not." It is a means of "well doing" to love the apostolic christian church of americians is it not??????????????????????? Not all "well doing" is literally like you know going and helping wash a friends car on the weekends etc. that type of "well doing" is great to very good, but so is a simple e-mail or a letter.
   Anyways I took good note of how if you have lost salt "love" you are then "it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men" imagine that?????????
  This is me on this topic even though it'll seem like I'm getting off of it, cause I ain't always good at "segways"...........
2 Timothy 3:1-3 "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good," I've been thinking a lot about well how is this time "perilous"

are people dieing physically is that the peril?????

or is the "peril" the bible talking about within??????

I've decided 2 Timothy 3:1-3 is talking about a peril that could happen within. Because if everyone or most people around you truelly are ".............lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good," it is a peril, it gets harder to love does is not???????????????????

  You'd be real tempted to think "well why should I love all of these ".lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,"????????????????????

 I was given the answer.............because people can change, because there is hope for people out there even in the worstest of times. 

  And besides that it is just good to love everyone, it's good inside your soul, 

even the idea of not loving everyone is real peril!

Luke 6:45 "A good man out of the good treasure of his heartbringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh." I want good things coming from my mouth just mostly good things (well ok we all have bad days, and I think we should definately be "longsuffering in love" with one another) I don't want to be trampled under the foot of men one day I WANT TO BE USEFUL!

Matthew 5:13 "Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men."

  That's it that's all that's on my heart right now. 

Have a great week!

Ms. Lewis's classrooms fundraiser is now fully funded 😁 But there are many more classrooms with many more needs at Donors Choose..........................

Truth is Mark 10:18 "And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God." We should desire to love one another, forgive one another!........................

Update 2/14/2024 which is valentine's day I do believe. (I don't actually experience valentines day - my husband is "non-demonstrative" he tells me that's a style a person can be............to the point he hardly ever kisses me on the lips)

my new hairdo.....................

  I was reading the bible yesterday and I a few verses stood out to me much Matthew 26:74-75 "Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew. And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly." Peter was a "high end" extremely "high end" christian. And he was sure he was going to stick things out with jesus after he was betrayed, and he failed in his mission there. 

  Paul said Romans 7:18 "For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwellethno good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not." 

  On my mind how much we really should show mercy to one another. 

  There is though victory to be had in jesus very much so.........1 John 5:4-5 "For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?"

   Matthew 5:7 "Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy." I do regularly e-mail the elder of the apostolic christian church of america that bashed me hard, and his wife and my apostolic christian aunt. I try and forgive, it's a way I have tried to show mercy, to be merciful...............sometimes I don't know how to show mercy??????????????????????????

  They don't e-mail me back, how do you show mercy to a people that looks like they hate you???????????????????????? 

  But sending the e-mails has helped me show mercy in my heart, where it matters the most pry. 

  For me mercy is active. It's a activity to do. 

  Whether the elder of the apostolic christian church of america by me, still thinks all that horrible stuffs about me, doesn't matter, or what people think about me in general doesn't matter (I was told I was a horrible human being, horrible friend etc. at a meeting with the elder to become a member of their church which didn't happen ------- bashed to the point I was suicidal)......it's do I love, do I forgive how is it in my heart that is the important thing. Keep your heart the bible says Proverbs 4:23 "Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are theissues of life."

  I feel rather familyless most days and that's hard for me. My parents live across the usa, my brother and sisters (well one lives a hour and a half away from me, but the other two live states away). For awhile the apostolic christian church was my family and were filling a void that needed to be filed, and now I just have that void. 

I wake up there it is. 

I go to bed there it is. 

Mark 10:29-31 "And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's, But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life. But many that are first shall be last; and the last first."

  My current job has the potential to become family, and my current church. And I have "internet family" to : ) Things are looking up. I think??????

  I plugging in this 21 pilots song yet again, because the singer sings to "not trust anyone perfect" what he means by that is to not trust the idea of anyone being perfect....................cause it don't exist besides god Mark 10:18 "And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God." I've been lead or wanted to believe it existed a few times in my life, it don't.................you want to have people to look up to right??????????? Who doesn't want people to look up to. And what do you do when you look up to someone do you not put them up on some kind of pedastle.............maybe even to the point of believing they are perfect (especially if they hint that they are)

jesus I believe he loved the people crucifying him - condeming him

Luke 23:34 "Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they knownot what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots." The elder of the apostolic christian church of america didn't know what he was doing, he did not know how much he was actually hurting me that day, if he did I imagine he wouldn't of said all of that. OR I HOPE NOT CAUSE ALL THAT WAS HORRIBLE EVEN IF IT WAS TRUE...........................love one another, build up one another, it's terrible to verbally like stone someone to death like that........trust me I experienced it it was bad. 

Have a great week!
