    The Market – from my Point of View

    and I’m anxious –
    and I’m just not that great with my camera!

    B.U.T.

    The End.

  • The Downtown Outdoor Market ….

    We were invited by a lady who works for the city to
    be a part of their new “downtown” renovation, to be
    a part of an open air market – European style – on
    every other Thursday (for 5 Thursdays) starting today.

    The girls are on a mission trip.
    So the job was up to me to complete.

    I baked  (or packaged) ….

    3 loaves Whole Wheat Bread
    3 Loaves Beer Bread
    3 Loaves Parmesan & Black Olive Beer
    Bread
    3 Loaves Cheddar Cheese and Onion Beer Bread
    8 Bags
    of 7 Bean Cajun Soup Mix
    10 Bags of Flax Seed
    9 1-pound Bags of Fresh Cornmeal
    7 small Loaves of Zucchini Bread
    14 Squares Chocolate Chip Zucchini Cake
    and 18 White Chocolate Filled Chocolate Chip Oatmeal
    Cookies

    Starting at 4 p.m. today?
    I had sold ALL Bread by 5:00.

    When I left at 7?

    EVERY  …. EVERY single thing I took to the market –
    was SOLD!!!!

    EVERY item. Every bag. Every loaf.

    It was SO WORTH the effort!

    I will now be able to purchase the commercial mixer
    we have been longing for and NEED!

    Our next Thursday market? We’ll be able to use
    the mixer and sell TWICE the amount of BREAD!!!

    Yippppeeee!!!!

    God is so GOOD to me.
    I can’t imagine why – except He is just Good!
    All. The. Time.

  • More Jugggling … beware the FIRE!!!

  • Worship Wednesday – Join Me?

    “But the hour is coming, and is now here
    when the True Worshipers will worship
    the Father in Spirit and in Truth, for the
    Father is seeking such people to worship Him.” John 4:23

    In worshiping together with you today I share these
    words of hope …. 1John 1:4 “… so that our joy may be complete.”
     
    Knowing Christ.
    Having Him invade your life with precious gifts of His Presence.
    With Peace.
    Seeing His hand move in and around your life.
    Believing and experiencing joy in the knowing,
    can only be made complete in the sharing!

    A gift. A beautiful perfect gift is as dust
    if held in tightly in clasped hands.
    The gift becomes even more precious
    as it’s attributes are praised by all.

    The JOY of Christ is magnified when hearts
    sing out as one in praise of the perfection
    of Peace as it is manifest in the hearts
    of those who Believe.

    Join me today in Worship –
    that our JOY may be complete?

    Amen.

  • Just Curious ….

    I was checking the footprints thing – cause I got this
    MESSAGE from some kid that is NOT on my friends list –
    I didn’t think you could get in ’cause of the “Friends Lock” ….

    Anyway.

    Since 12:00 a.m. this morning?
    There’s been 15 – FIFTEEN footprints from
    Mississippi.

    Mississippi?

    Do I KNOW anybody in Mississippi?

    You know that’s like twice every hour?
    If you are FROM Mississippi –
    would you please identify yourself.

    Just for fun.
    Just for curiosities sake.

    Thanks.

  • Just This ….

    I love a coffee cup that is TRULY microwavable.
    You put your coffee in the cup.
    You heat it for 1.20 seconds and the COFFEE is H.O.T.
    The cup?
    Cool as a cucumber.
    Same for the handle.
    Love it.
    Just love it.
    And I love that Fat Chef Guy on a Bike, too!

  • Feeling Sickly … but, Surviving –

    I’ve been sick since Monday night.
    Diverticulitis.
    Isabelle asked me if I was on a diet.
    Nope.
    Well, a liquid diet.
    But, if I wasn’t sick? I wouldn’t be
    very good at losing weight with Slim Fast.
    ‘Cause I can put away some Slim Fast – let me tellya.
