Terribly Interesting

I am currently writing a bible study on Hosea, my second book, so many can understand the grace that led us to begin Gomer's house. Please be in prayer for this. I am including day one in this post so that you can get a glimpse of the beauty of God's redeeming love. You are beautiful. Tucked deep inside the story of Hosea is a love letter to all of us. Throughout His word and the history of His people, God has written a deeply extravagant letter to us. Continually weaved through the pages of of time and captured in the lives of those who have turned to Christ we see the beauty of God's redemptive grace laid bare for us. There in lies a picture of the pursuit that is by its very nature as delicate as it is fierce. May you not walk away from this study with a head full of exegetical knowledge and no heart. My hope is that this reminds us to love. As surely as we have received the letter of Christ through grace, we have become it to others. "You show that you are a lette...

Three days last week we rented wood chipper. For our 250 dollar investment we gained atleast a thousand dollars in mulch and the enormous piles of trees dwindled down off our property. Thanks to our friends who came to help in the record breaking heat. Any one need any mulch ?

I have been hearing people complain about pretty much everything of late. Has the body of Christ at large gotten distracted by their needs getting met? I lay a simple question out for you. What are you bringing to the table ?

Gomer's Garden I was given a few gallons of free coffee grounds from Starbucks to put on my yard. A week ago I unloaded the massive amount I was given on to all of my plants. Most of the flowers are acid lovers. My begonias have been getting brighter and growing faster. You can also put coffee on your yard and other plants that are not acid lovers. Simply use less or dilute it. Earth worms love it and earth worms make great dirt for your soil. Our yard smelled like coffee for days. It was awesome. Head on over to your local Starbucks and ask for some free grounds.  http://www.starbucks.com/aboutus/compost.asp * Thanks, Jeters!

It's late and I just got in from a date with my bestie . I sit here in the Conservatory (I have a Conservatory, funny) writing and thinking. I have a heavy heart watching Kristi go through all of the things that she is going through. Have you ever wished you could throw up for someone so that they didn't have to? Now, I am no fan of throwing up, mind you, but I would do it if I could. I must say to you though...I am praising God for her trials!! I love to watch Big Papa work!! It's a Holy Ghost carpet ride through wonders and beauty. Jehova Rapha has been at work healing relationships and hearts through her struggle. Jehova Jireh has poured out provision. I am grateful that I get to watch. I get a little of the Holy Spirit overflow. I love it. As I sit here typing away, I am thinking about Hosea. Do you know the story? Love like that is rarely seen these days. Love like that is in books and old movies. That leads me to a question. What moves you? What fills your cup? I...
