I am always looking for new recipes to cook because I get incredibly bored with the same old-same old. During the week we live off of my crock-pot cooking, and I came across this site while searching for recipes. Maybe someone else can benefit, too:)

Deep Thoughts Or Not
As I was thinking about the vast nature of God's creation, I realized that my musings could be considered "deep thoughts." Naturally, Jack Handey popped into my mind. He had many a profound thought voiced on SNL via Deep Thoughts With Jack Handey, but only one really stuck with me through the years..
"Better not take a dog on the space shuttle, because if he sticks his head out when you're coming home, his face might burn up." - Jack Handey
Why this stuck with me, I will never know.
Back to pondering God's creation...
"For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist." Colossians 1:16 & 17 (NKJV)
I like to think about this verse and go on a head trip. I like the NKJV because "consist" is used as opposed to "hold together" in the NIV and newer translations. "In HIM (emphasis mine) all things consist (again, my emphasis)." In Him all things consist. In him all things are. "For You created all things, and by Your will they exist and were created.” (Rev 4: 11b)
God could say, "STOP," everything would cease to exist, and we would never even know the difference. We would just cease. But God would still Be.
To quote Ted "Theodore" Logan, "Strange things are afoot at the Circle K."

45 Lessons Life Taught Me by Regina Brett
"To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me. It is the most-requested column I've ever written. My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so here is the column once more:
1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone..
4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your
friends and parents will. Stay in touch.
5. Pay off your credit cards every month.
6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.
8. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it.
9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.
10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile..
11. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.
12. It's OK to let your children see you cry.
13. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what
their journey is all about.
14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.
15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don't worry;
God never blinks.
16. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.
17. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.
18. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.
19. It's never too late to have a happy childhood.
But the second one is up to you and no one else.
20. When it comes to going after what you love in life,
don't take no for an answer.
21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie.
Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.
22. Over prepare, then go with the flow.
23. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.
24. The most important sex organ is the brain.
25. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.
26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words
'In five years, will this matter?'
27. Always choose life.
28. Forgive everyone for everything.
29. What other people think of you is none of your business.
30. Time heals almost everything. Give time time.
31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
32. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
33. Believe in miracles.
34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of
anything you did or didn't do.
35. Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.
36. Growing old beats the alternative -- dying young.
37. Your children get only one childhood.
38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.
39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.
40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone
else's, we'd grab ours back.
41. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
42. The best is yet to come.
43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
44. Yield.
45. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift."
