Funnies in the Bible part 2

(2) The Hebrews were wandering around in the desert and Deuteronomy chapter 2 says
1 Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea, as the LORD spake unto me: and we compassed mount Seir many days.
2 And the LORD spake unto me, saying,
3 Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward.

Can't you picture them marching round and round the mountain and God has to tell them to stop. You see, they had not obeyed God and God stopped listening to them so they had no direction. They didn't know where to go. They went around in circles.

Birdie plate

I sang this song to my three little children. Shari, my third, found this plate which has the year she was born.

High up in the branches of a leafy apple tree,
Lives a mother birdie, and her little birdies three.
God sends Mr. Wind.
You can hear him softly blow,
As off to sleep, her babies go.

Funnies in the Bible part 1

I have found three funny places in the Bible. At least I think they are funny.

(1) The people were waiting for Moses to come down out of the mount and they said in Exodus 32
2 And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me.
3 And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron.
4 And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
Now this is the funny part.
21 And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this people unto thee, that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them?
22 And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot: thou knowest the people, that they are set on mischief.
24 And I said unto them, Whosoever hath any gold, let them break it off. So they gave it me: then I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf.
Can you imagine? Aaron is Moses older brother, and they are both old men. Aaron is acting like a child. He threw the gold in and out came this calf. How funny!

Winter snow

This is what winter looks like from my kitchen window. I live in a basement apartment.

Vase

This is the new vase I bought at the Home and Garden Show. Can you tell I like pretty things?

This is me and my Hammond organ several years ago.

I gave the keyboard to my daughter, Sharon, because my hands hurt to play it. This is my grandson, Gabey, playing it.

Cross Stitch Bears

I made these cross stitch bears for my girls. I gave my daughter Christine the one cuddled up in a quilt. I knew she would like to do that. I gave my daughter Sharon the one at the fence because she loves her back yard. I gave our dear friend (she's like one of the familiy) Michelle the one with the flowers and big hat because she loves to garden and I think she would look great in the hat.

Purple violet and poinsettia

I love violets, so I got a new one at the Home and Garden show. It's doing very well. Next to it is my new poinsettia I got this Christmas.

Tissue paper carnations

These are my new tissue paper carnations. I've started making flowers again.

Mailbox flowers

If you like flowers, why not have them sent right to your mailbox. Just sign up for daily newsletters from one of these: Burpee, Wayside Gardens, White Flower Farm, Michigan Bulb, Park Trees & Shrubs. They will give you a daily pick-me-up! (and maybe some ideas for your own garden)

Parenthood

There is a little hand to hold,
A fresh new life to shield
From fear of darkness and the cold
The march of time may yield.

There is a little mind to train
And eyes to keep from tears.
There is a pathway to make plain
That winds through sunlit years.

There is a little heart to pack
With goodness, warmth, and pride,
And little feet that will run back
To the childhood we supplied.
from Bible Pathway

Happy New Year!

2007 was a mixed up year. Some bad things happened, but some good things happened, too.
My daughter had Baby Gideon!

A good resolution for this year would be to remember to count our blessings every day.

I pray that 2008 will be a healthy, and happy year for all of us. God bless us, everyone.
