A Hoops and YoYo Fourth of July

It's Church Sign Wednesday....

Recently seen church signs:

"Casual Attire, Respectful Worship" - I'm not going to comment on this one b/c it would only get me in trouble.

"Did your sins make the list?" - I read this one while having a pretty serious conversation on my cell phone while driving. I literally laughed out loud leaving the person on the other end a bit perplexed at why I was being so manic. I then read the sign to her and asked if she knew what list they were talking about. Should I be worried? I don't know if my sins made the list...what list?

What's your signature?

Here's a great post asking the question Do you sign off emails with a Christian closing?

Personally, I usually just write my name or sometimes just end it without a signature. However, I admit that when receiving an e-mail with a "christian" closing I do feel a little more pressure to respond with one of my own. (I couldn't have them thinking I'm not as spiritual as them!). .

My work e-mail is set up with my "signature": Name, title (best 1st grade teacher ever! LOL), phone number and e-mail.

So, what's your signature?

A change in the list

What list you ask? Well, the things I think my mate should have of course! Am I going to share that list with you today? NOPE! But don't feel rejected. It's nothing personal.

I will share one thing.
* Must love coffee - I figure as much as I love coffee it would be unbiblical for me to be unequally yoked with a non-coffee drinker.

However, a friend of mine was telling about her "new possibility" yesterday. As she went through a list of things about him to give me a picture of how they are equally yoked (so to speak) she said this profound statement:

"He likes the smell of coffee but not the taste. But that's okay. That means there's more for me!"

BRILLIANT!

* Must love the smell of coffee

See that's better! Oh, and for those of you that think I'm still single because I'm too picky. You may be right. But I'm a daughter of the King and should be picky! :)

Yummy Goodness!

I would like to introduce you to Broccolini. YUMM-O! It looks like baby broccoli but isn't. I love broccoli but broccolini has SO much flavor. It can be sauteed or (my personal favorite) roasted in the oven. If you haven't tried it you need to. I like it with olive oil and garlic. It's also really good with lemon pepper.

I Receive

I listened to a message by Craig Groeschel this weekend. It was from the "One Prayer Series". It was entitled "God is Love". It's a great message. He talked about how it's easy to believe,"God is Love" or even "God loves you". But it's hard to believe that "God loves me".

While working on my song list for worship next week I came across this song that just really resonated with me. We sing a lot of songs about how we love God. But we don't sing a lot about His love for us. Maybe that's because we have a hard time believing "God loves me". No I'm not worthy. I'll never be worthy. But " it's not what I've done but what He's done for me."

Funny Church Signs

Oh yeah, someone made a video!
