If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.Romans 10:9 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.John 3:16
Welcome back! Thank you so much for joining in with Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4.
I hope you are enjoying these.
There are some things we just enjoy quite a lot. Let's talk about it okay?
1. Which book could you read over and over again? Pretense by Lori Wick or most any book by Lori Wick
2. What movie or TV program could you watch and never tire of watching?
NCIS

And for a movie it would be White Christmas. We watch it every Christmas season and I have been since I was a child.

3. What meal do you like enough to eat several times a week or several times a month? Got a recipe to share for it?
Hubby's Chili and we probably have it at least once a month, and then if we eat the leftovers it would be at least twice a month. Hubby created the recipe and I don't know it.
4. What place do you enjoy so much that you go back again and again? Why do you like it so much?
Myrtle Beach in November. Love it because the crowds are way down and it's usually not too hot. Plus we've been going there for many years.

It's Sunday night around 10:00pm and I am sitting with hubby watching TV. We're binging the show Castle. We've been watching this for awhile now. It's been a beautiful day and is currently 55 degrees. We've had several days of beautiful weather. Thursday, we stayed home all day and cooked some (it seems like I spent the day cleaning up in the kitchen) but we did enjoy being home. I read some, worked on a jigsaw puzzle and did another on Saturday.
Friday we got up early and went to breakfast and then met my sister and her husband to go to an estate sale. I bought 11 skeins of yarn for a $1.00 each. It was so fun checking all the crafts and stuff they had for sale. But I only let myself buy just the 11.
Saturday we went to Kentucky to the Cincinnati Airport viewing area and watched planes landing and taking off. It was such a beautiful day and there were so many families there with their kids playing in the little park and watching the planes. Such a good time. Then we drove back to Ohio along the Ohio River and then back home.
Today we had 2 really good services. The morning sermon was from John 8 was out the woman caught in adultery and she was brought before Jesus by the religious leaders to see what he would do. It was such a good sermon. He titled it “Where misery meets mercy.” Isn't that just like Jesus? When we are in misery and we come before Jesus, He gives mercy. I'm so thankful for mercy. I need it so often and I hope I give it to others, as Jesus gives it to me. Below is the sermon, if you'd like to have a listen.
I've walked about a mile each afternoon for the past 5 days and I'm so glad to finally have gotten myself starting on this again. I hope to get healthier and this is my first step towards that. Below are a few pictures from some of the days I walked.
Well that's about all I have for today. Thanks for visiting and I hope you have a really good day.
Today I am thankful to be spending a full day at home with my hubby and the dog. We’re having a quiet morning so far. I finished a jigsaw puzzle and will probably start another one later in the day. I’m hoping to do some reading and maybe start the crochet blanket I’m wanting to make. I’m so happy to have a day like this to enjoy. As I’m typing this, Lucy is in my lap sleeping and hubby is on his iPad. Thank you Lord for a lazy morning.
Sorry Lucy, that is not a very flattering position. Makes your rear look big! lol
Yesterday afternoon Lucy and I took about a 30 minute walk around the neighborhood. It was such a beautiful day. Today is colder, but I still plan to walk again. I have got to get back into that habit. We both sleep better at night when we take a good walk during the day. So thankful I have my little buddy to walk with.
It was such a beautiful to walk!
I know winter isn’t over yet, but I’m so thankful for the beautiful days we’ve been having this week. And while today is colder and not as sunshiny, it’s supposed to warm up for the next several days. Thank you Lord for every beautiful moment.
Well, that’s all for right now. If you’d like to join in with Thankful Thursday, you can link up here and here.
Thanks for visiting and I hope you have a great day.
1. Somehow it's March? Is it coming in like a lion where you live? Tell us one fun thing on your March calendar.March is starting like a lamb, at least the first 2 days are. Reaching the 60's both days with sunshine and blue skies. Our Women's Spring Bible Study starts in 2 weeks.
2. In what way(s) do you 'march to the beat of your own drum'? Can't really think of anything right at the moment.
3. The Hodgepodge lands on Dr. Seuss Day (March 2nd). Do you like eggs? How about ham? Share a favorite quote from one of his books. Yes, I like eggs and ham both. I just sent my grandson some Dr. Seuss' books we had here at the house. Here's a good quote, “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot. Nothing is going to get better. It’s not.”
4. Have you read Little Women? How about Alice in Wonderland? Did you love them, like them, feel just eh about them? Why is this question in the Hodgepodge today? I have read Little Women and love it, but have never read Alice in Wonderland and in fact have never seen the movie either. I assume because in Little Women their last name was March and in Alice in Wonderland isn't the hare called the March Hare?
5. How do you meal plan? How often do you shop for groceries? One homemade meal that was on your menu last week or is on your menu this week? I'm not real good at planning ahead too far, but usually the night before we try to figure what we'll have the next day. Lately it seems I'm in the grocery once or twice a week (because I've been going with my sister's too). We had kielbasa sausage and sauerkraut and fried apples last night and I made Taco Soup for us to have whenever we want this week. New recipe from my sister and we tasted just a bit after supper last night and it was delicious.
6. Insert your own random thought here. One of my favorite pictures of my family from many years ago at our happy place, Disney World.

1 - Tuesday. Took hubby into work and I stopped in for a bit and used the computer to finish a blog post and then went to the grocery (I really didn't have anything else I needed to do) and stood in line for approximately 50 minutes to check out...Snow or ice coming later this week...but everyone seemed to take it in stride and it was rather fun standing and talking to people and watching their faces when they realized we were almost in the back of the store but we were in the checkout line. lol
This guy was a hoot. He was taking pictures just like me. Said his wife was going to wonder why it's taking him so long. I told him he was in trouble, except he had pictures he could prove it with. lol
