Do you practice religion?

When the question was stated as practice, I feel it is more faith than “practice.” I have heard that practice makes perfect. In the case of faith and religion, no man or woman can be perfect. This is why we all need JESUS for HE is our perfect savior!

One needs to have a communication with THE HOLY TRINITY. GOD, the FATHER GOD. JESUS the don of GOD FATHER, and the HOLY Spirit.

For me, I would say I do my humanly BEST to obey GOD’S commandments. For if you do believe in GOD, you know there is a heaven.

If you know there is a heaven, you know there is a hell. And you know GOD didn’t create hell for mankind. He’ll was made for satan and the rest of the fallen angels for starting the great war in heaven that he lost, taking 1/3 of the angels who listened to Satan.

Anyone who listens to this satan chooses on their own to join satan and all of the fallen a angel’s in hell. GOD doesn’t send people to hell. People choose to go to hell on their own.😔😔😔

With my faith, I will tell others of the joy it brings me when it is the right timing and they are willing to listen.

I would not want to see even my worst enemy go to hell. This way , by telling people about salvation, they can make the choice to repent and be saved.

If a person doesn’t know about salvation and righteousness, how can they choose that from unrighteousness?

Do you remember life before the internet?

Geepers. What a question for today in 2023. It’s like, do you remember life before television!😄 That would be the same answer for the internet. 😉

January 1, 1983 is considered the official birthday of the Internet. Prior to this, the various computer networks did not have a standard way to communicate with each other. A new communications protocol was established called Transfer Control Protocol/Internetwork Protocol (TCP/IP).

And that was 40 years ago. So before we even had a computer to know anything about the internet we were outside enjoying outside activities.

But on cold days we read books. The Bible was read in hard copy. No looking up verses thru your phone. You hand know your Bible in hard copy to know where to look for certain scripture for certain topics. Like in the movie “The Book of Eli” with Denzel Washington.

You needed to know from the Old Testament and the New Testaments. So that you would know what you were talking about was exactly. Like your computer or phone does now.😯

Even though carrying your phone with you to look up the Bible, for deep study and understanding, you can use the phone as a concordance or Bible dictionary.

So before the World Wide Web, there were books. And books probably on how to make computers and the “WWW”. 😄

Peace and blessings ❤️

What are you good at?

I think GOD has given us mankind talents. Because GOD is the creator of all creation, we have the ability to create too. 🙂

And it may not be just one thing, it could be a talent you learn like sewing, cooking, building things or being able to give people comfort as you touch their hearts when they are in need of compassion.

I do like to draw, though. I got the interest for it from my beloved aunt, who was an artist. She was a very good artist too. I would sit next to her and watch how she held the pencil and drew on paper. How she prepared the canvas she was going to draw on. She painted it white with a base coat and drew the idea out on that canvas when it was dry .

Then, she began to color it with oil based artist 🎨 paint. Mixing it on an artist palet to get the right hues. I tell you, it was cool watching her make those beautiful paintings.

So now it’s my turn. I even have had my artwork displayed in the local Art Galleries here in Upstate NY.

I do enjoy drawing. And I draw what comes to me. I want to and do draw religious tracts. Anything to help spread GODS word 🙏🏾 respectfully. I thank GOD for the gift HE has given me.

Now I see my children doing artwork too. A good thing is passed down to the next generation again through GOD’S grace!

What does “having it all” mean to you? Is it attainable?

You may have it all and not even realize it. It is a matter of taking the time yo see them.

Some may just want more than what they need. Living in opulence and greed. And still want more while worrying how to keep what they have.

If I were to say if having it all would mean if I were happy, healthy, have my loved ones, a home, things we needed or wanted, we could afford, that would be yes. We have it all through CHRIST JESUS and the sacrifice HE gave on the cross to save the souls of all mankind!

It is attainable to have it all through GOD’S blessings!

We have it all through CHRIST because JESUS gave HIS all on the cross to save our souls from death in hell. And it is the choice of mankind to accept JESUS to have it all.

Praise and glory be to GOD for all eternity!

Peace and blessings ❤️

Who would you like to talk to soon?

When I call my Mother, it is always “Hey Ma , how are you doing?”

I always look up to my Mother still to this day. She is so cool. She has kept her Christian values firm even in the movie industry. And we all know that the entertainment industry is even worse now in our day!

She wasn’t famous like anyone you may know. But to me, she is. She is my Mommy ❤️❤️❤️

Well dressed, poised, well spoken GODLY woman from then in this extra part in one of the movies she was in to all scenes she has done. I am very proud and honored to have a blessed woman like her.

My Mother is a praying woman. When you put GOD before fame and fortune, you win. Always. Back then, she told me how women she knew who would comprise their standards to get ahead. And they would get a part or two but would wind up having to start over. And then not get as far as my Mother had.

I love my Mother. I respect her and honor. I enjoy talking to her, too. Even when we get to heaven and are with the LORD GOD, we will enjoy being there to praise our GOD together ❤️. With all of our loved ones who crossed over before us. Family and friends ❤️

I will calling you Ma tonight! Love you!

Peace and blessings ❤️

What personal belongings do you hold most dear?

The fact that JESUS is the son of the one and only true living GOD means a lot to me. To be so loved by the one and only true living GOD, to send HIS only son to this fallen world, is beyond my understanding of the amount or level of GOD’S love.

Not just for me but for all mankind.

JESUS made the ultimate sacrifice by giving HIS life on the cross. And that type of death is beyond painful for is a slow death designed by unsaved souls.

The cross to me represents what JESUS went through. Along with JESUS obeying and trusting our FATHER GOD to the end when JESUS said it is done.

My beloved Grandmother was a GODLY woman who had a large 3ft wooden cross with a bronze JESUS nailed on it. I was always fascinated by it and how it was designed. As a child, it made me think about JESUS as being so strong. To tolerate such cruelty from humans that HE came to save!

Since then, I have always wanted to have a cross of my own. To show my respect for what JESUS has done for all of us mankind. I still show my faith in GOD and HIS SON JESUS as I still wear the cross.

And I still have my Grandmother’s that was handed down to me.❤️❤️❤️

Peace and blessings ❤️

Do you have any collections?

We have more than one Bible in our car, what we carry with us, and we have in our house. There are times when we need to pray or look up scripture that is going to help us get through a situation.

The Bible is very comforting to Mr. When no one else is around, family is not near, GOD is. And HE let’s me know it too. As only the one who made me can.

I will write in my Bible personal things that came to me through reading a particular book and verse. These loving words from GOD will reach out to me as though they were ment just fir me in any situation.

Studying the Bible is continuous every single day. Having the KJV of the Bible is the 2nd version to read that I prefer. 2nd is the NIV. Then there is the chronological Bibles, too.

Even if there is no hard copy of the Bible near me for some reason, I have my cell phone for quick reference. Or laptop. The cell phone will quickly help you to look up verses..

I can never have enough of GOD,JESUS, THE HOLY GHOST, with GOD’S word around me.

Peace and blessings ❤️

How do you feel about cold weather?

I like the cold weather. But it doesn’t like me. If it gets to below 40 degrees, it is time for my heavy winter coat. 😐

The cold weather is good and bad. It looks beautiful when there is a snowfall that covers the trees in such a way that it looks like glass when the sun shines on them!

I know GOD created seasons for a reason. But it is beyond human understanding. And we can only assume as to why we have cold weather.

Cold weather does have its advantages. There are no flies , knats, or mosquitoes to bother you when you are outside. 😄

Ecclesiastes 3:1 – 3:8

¹ To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

² A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

³ A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

⁴ A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

⁵ A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

⁶ A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

⁷ A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

⁸ A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

I would love to be in temperatures of 65 to 75 degrees all year. I am happy to shelter, food, good health, and ways to keep warm when it is cold.

Peace and blessings ❤️

Have you ever broken a bone?

No. To the prompt question. Thank GOD ❤️

For thank GOD no one in my family has had a broken bone on my side of the family or in my husband’s that I am aware of.

Soup bones came to my mind.

The bones that get broken are chicken, pork, lamb, fish, turkey, or beef. I am sorry to say that for anyone who eats meat. I have tried to for about a year. It didn’t set well with, and I lost energy. 😕

But for this recipe from “serious eats” were cut. Still tasty though 😋

Roasted Marrow Bones

Prep5 mins

Cook20 mins

Active20 mins

Total25 mins

Serves6 servings

Ingredients

• 2 to 3 pounds (907g to 1360g) beef marrow bones, split lengthwise or cut crosswise into 2-inch segments
• 1 cup (28g) pickled flat-leaf parsley leaves
• 1 teaspoon (5ml) champagne vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
• Flaky sea salt
• Cracked black pepper
• Toasted slices of bread
• Pickled Mustard Seeds

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232ºC). Place marrow bones, marrow side up, on a tray or in an ovenproof skillet. Roast until bones are lightly browned, about 20 minutes. (Some fat will render from the marrow, but majority of marrow should stay in the bone.)
2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, toss parsley with vinegar and olive oil.
3. Sprinkle bones with salt and pepper. Serve bones immediately, with toasts, pickled mustard seeds, and parsley salad.

Hebrews 11:6

“But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”

King James Version (KJV)

Pray for in all things to GOD for HIS protection at all times in all we do. Pray for excellent health and healing when you need it! Stay safe and sound. And may the only broken bones you see will be like in this recipe. (Even though these were cut! 🙂)

How do you balance work and home life?

When you do 40 hours or more a week you can get burned out depending on what you are doing repitionously. So even when you are off the clock you need to wind down.

And relax with your loved ones going out after work if you can. Even to get an ice cream for a treat on a nice summer evening over looking a lake or ocean.

We have our devotions to our FATHER GOD in Bible study and prayer.

For us, this is relaxing and quiet. No phones from the office, no office chit chat, no distractions to contend with.

But if it’s winter and you can’t find anything to do, being inside watching a movie or an interesting YouTube channel.

When I hear them get going and see them on YouTube on gardening, it takes my mind off of work. They are enjoying being out on their land. Growing their food!

The balance is with GOD in all you do. He is the balance!

Peace and blessings ❤️
