Question 4 - Who said this? Who is Jesus?
Matthew 16:13-17
"When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, 'Who do people say the Son of Man is?' They replied, 'Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.' 'But what about you?' he asked. 'Who do you say I am?' Simon Peter answered, 'You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.' Jesus replied, 'Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven.'"

Laundry Room Curtains
I am "sew" excited to be sewing! ;-)
I just fell in love with this brown gingham fabric
and thought it would be perfect to use to pretty up the laundry room!
(And little did I know, but gingham is the BEST fabric for beginning sewers to use. Talk about being able to easily measure, cut and press - wow!)
(And little did I know, but gingham is the BEST fabric for beginning sewers to use. Talk about being able to easily measure, cut and press - wow!)
But first...I had to thread the machine! Gulp!
I hadn't done that since I was in high school home ec, 20+ years ago!
This machine is so simple and wonderful for me to relearn on.
And I successfully threaded the top and bottom threads on the first try!
I never could have done it without this little guy!
When I saw this little machine at Wal-Mart for a super low price
AND with an instructional DVD included,
I felt the first small glimmer of hope that ~maybe~ I could sew! :-)
And, oh how I do love how these turned out.
I made two panels and they hang evenly, much to my surprise! ;-)
I think they look so cute and homey!
After finishing these last night,
visions of more curtains, napkins, placemats, tablecloths, aprons...etc. etc. were indeed dancing in my head! :-)

Questions 2 - So what has been written?
John 8:24
"I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am the one I claim to be, you will indeed die in your sins."
Tomorrow's question -
Is this a life and death statement?

October is here!
"There is no season
when such pleasant and sunny spots
may be lighted on,
and produce so pleasant an effect on the feelings,
as now in October."

Question 1 - Can we know how to have eternal life?
1 John 5:13
"I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life."
Tomorrow's question - So what has been written?
The Gospel
During the month of October I'd like to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with you. Not my words, not my opinions, and not my thoughts. The scripture is all that is needed.
2 Timothy 3:16-17
"All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work."
Each day during the month of October a new question will be presented with the scriptural answer. I hope you will follow along!
1 Peter 3:15
"But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have."
*The question sequence is not my original material. It was presented in a Bible class that I attended.*
Sewing!
It's been a long standing joke in my family.
That Mom was going to sew "some day"...
That some day is here! I'm really sewing and I'm excited!

sprinkle of cinnamon sugar. Enjoy!
Mr. H. is the
coffee drink maker in this house, but his aversion to all things pumpkin, had
me on my own for this concoction. I used a recipe that claimed to be just
like Starbucks. Now, I've never had a pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks,
so I can't really compare. But, it sure was good and it certainly took less
time and money than going to Starbucks! :-)
