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..................

My fishes tank has lately gotten cloudy (this tank has duckweed plants in it).

So today I added sweet potatoe shoots,, one of them I even clean put in the gravel fully in the tank in a effort to get this tank clean again!!!!!!!!!!!!!..........................

my fish likes the sweet potatoe shoot that is in the tank

 ice bath thoughts 5/10/2026 traffic to my blog has started to go down again, but us christians we need to be "different" to the masses

the masses prefer the rich according the bible that's for 1............

Proverbs 19:4 "Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbour."

but for #2 Jesus he didn't come for the most holy saintly christians........................he didn't come here to get a "mass following" he came here for a very tiny group of people that was his focus not getting 1 billion likes and follows like people focus on these days mostly..................

Luke 19:10 "For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost."

as folowers of jesus our focus also shouldn't be on "numbers" maybe our focus should be on just 1-2 people whose lives we can make a positive difference in - cause our lord Jesus christ he didn't even come here with some mission to "reach the masses" which nothing wrong with pastors trying to reach the masses

but I'm just saying he literally came here "to seek and to save that which was lost" ----------------------- not a ton of people

not even the people most people would want to bother with unless they were rich

the bible says to "walk in good works" this blog of mine keeps me accountable to keep going! 

keep walking in good works

Ephesians 2:10

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

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! 

LOVE

sheri 2024 is on that griiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiind

To all christians "afraid" out there, god did not give you a spirit of fear 2 Timothy 1:7 "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.".....................

my fancy cat marshie..................💓💓💓💓💓

he's so much like me he often just sits around and be's fancy all day as he should! - he didn't like me trying to take pics of him.........that was wayyyyyyyyyyyy to encroaching upon his fancy time aka his entire life💓💓💓💓💓💓 Since my youngest daughter has went off to college I'm now maybe marshie's fave now 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

Update 2/4/2024 no update pics or nothing with this blog post update cause I'm still pretty sick. My husband got outside to build greenhouse (it's a $300 greenhouse - should look nice) it was he said 30 something degree's outside. 

I think this wig was also horrible, and back then I really needed to wear makeup badly. These days I look much more like marilyn monroe 24/7 even without makeup on, but back then I wasn't as much looking like marilyn (no plastic surgery............just red light therapy - many people in my family their nose the cartilage get's like larger and hardens up more at the end of their nose later on in life ---------- I spent most my life terrified I'd end up with my aunt kays nose................which her nose looked great on her. Fortunately my cartilage did it's weird grow/harden up thing and it ended up very much looking like marilyn's nose). She was a lot like me, super "sun shiny" but when she got sad finally - she got real real real sad.

(back to wearing tichels, pictured above, I'm just going to have to figure out which headscarves are cool enough for the summer. Everyone liked actually seeing my hair. It was terrible for me, I don't like my hair at all hanging down)

To all christians "afraid" out there, god did not give you a spirit of fear 2 Timothy 1:7 "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."
  A few people fear me bad right now, so bad I've been thinkin about fear. I can't think of a time a moment, when fear would be a good thing.
  This verse in particular has just gripped me lately Revelation 21:8 "But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death." Where this verse says "but the fearful" man I've been thinking on that, on the idea that fear could lead you to hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Romans 8:15 "For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father."  Don't have fear, instead I recommend having faith!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
Mark 4:39-40 "And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?"

  Also a section of the bible much on my mind lately Numbers 14:6-9 "And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes: And they spake unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land. If the Lord delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey. Only rebel not ye against the Lord, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and the Lord is with us: fear them not." 

  Joshua and caleb, they saw the giants in the land, and they chose to trust god.....................god promised this land of "milk and honey" this was it this was the land god promised all the jews back then full of "milk and honey" God clean told them "I gonna give you this land"!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Exodus 3:17 "And I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt unto the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, unto a land flowing with milk and honey." This was it, this was their land of "milk and honey" and instead of believing many of them chose fear. 

 ................now maybe if you fear a person your love just ain't perfect yet...................
1 John 4:17-19 "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. We love him, because he first loved us."

  Though I don't much recogn fear to be a good thing at all I can find many places in the bible where god is saying hey don't fear 

Deuteronomy 3:21-22 "And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Thine eyes have seen all that the Lord your God hath done unto these two kings: so shall the Lord do unto all the kingdoms whither thou passest. Ye shall not fear them: for the Lord your God he shall fight for you."

  Now my old church is in terror of me, they done told me so on this here blog on a older post (apostolic christian church of america). I don't fear them. If they killed me.....................what can separate me from the love of christ????????????

Romans 8

34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

what am I gonna fear?????????????????????????? Besides god???????????????????????????????????????

I don't fear you! 

I believe, I believe god Deuteronomy 3:22"Ye shall not fear them: for the Lord your God he shall fight for you."

----------- I can't even tell you all in what ways god is fighting for me...................but you can be 100% He is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

I'm determined to not walk in fear, but walk in faith like joshua and caleb.............who choose to believe god when he said he'd give them THE LAND FLOWING WITH MILK AND HONEY Exodus 3:17 "And I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt unto the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, unto a land flowing with milk and honey."

0% FEAR 

FEAR IS TERRIBLE WHAT ANY YOU WANT THAT?????????? I do not understand "the fearful"???????????????????

I am a lion
