Traveling Through Barbecue Land and a Wicked Feminist Facebook Message
Praise the Lord for you Sisters!
I hope you are striving on, continuing in the faith, enduring like a good soldier and looking to the Lord in all things. I just posted an encouragement for struggling sisters HERE, But I've also got a conglomeration of various things to share, just because:-) We are in the land of Barbecue where there are offerings of it all over. Although we like it, we don't partake of it because it's not something we choose to spend our money on. Here's a cute van selling it in a parking lot. He's got the smoker hooked on the back, pretty simple way to do business.
I think it would make a nice camper too:-)
As always we're on the look out for water and usually are able to find refill stations.
.39 cents per gallon on a refill is better than at least .80 full price. I know, most people don't think twice about dropping a handful of change on something but that 41 cent savings buys us 2 instead of one. Water is something that most Americans (and many other countries) take for granted but we've been living this life for many years now and it's always a joyous thing to us. And today we were blessed with this...
We use that kind of water for our wash station and I'll be doing a few items of clothing before we leave this town on Monday. What a joy to have all the water you want, to rinse your clothes!!! Water is a precious thing and that's why it's referenced so much in God's Word, as such.
But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. John 4:14
And for us keepers of the home, you may appreciate this....
A big bin of potatoes in 5 lb bags.
Yep, you read that right, $1. What sister wouldn't get excited over that and thank the Lord for providing! We love taters in any form, especially mashed (or baked but it's been so long since I've had one of those I can't remember:-) Speaking of mashed, I use instant when I find it on sale so the other day this was our meal from all discount food.
Squash, mashed potatoes and a couple pieces of jerky. Those of you with keen eyes will see that it's spaghetti squash in chunks. I found a bag in the discounted natural section and thought it would be nice to have something different but it was taking too long to cook up to where I could shred it so we ate it in chunks. We laughed because it was still pretty firm and crispy but we were thankful anyway. I don't like to use a lot of propane when I cook because it's costly so we make do with partial cooked if need be and could care less. I'll be doing a post (hopefully soon) on how we're saving on propane and doing a couple different things. The other night I cubed up some random veggies, sauteed them in coconut oil and that was dinner.
I love veggies:-)
We traveled through some tiny little towns and the one we stayed in last night had these signs, I thought it was sorta funny.
Which way should we go????????
How about this way?
We saw that when we were taking a walk through that town with all the signs. We see that scripture all over the place, I keep looking for the other verses, you know like 19-21.
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. [20] For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. [21] But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Just today brother Jim witnessed to an ex voodoo man (you can find that HERE) and they had a nice conversation. He was a bigger guy with tattooes and a cigarette and when we walked by he said to brother Jim that he liked his walking stick (brother Jim's scripture stick). I thought in my mind that it's always the least likely person that seems interested and brother Jim said later, 'Ya know, this worldly guy just stood there and confirmed what was being said is true whereas the worldly church people try to defend their position, claiming they are not such things when clearly they are.' When Jesus said the world will hate you, well, the modern day 'so called Christians' are the biggest haters, which makes them the world, not God's.
Tomorrow is Sunday, the big day for man made religion to fleece the flock of their $$ in the synagogues of satan and we may be outside on the street looking for a sheep. I found one in this town we're in that looked promising, with a sidewalk in the front and public parking all over. Brother Jim looked at it and said 'Oh nice, the police station is right across the street so they won't have to go far when they get called.' Which will happen I'm sure, I can't think of too many places where they haven't called the police on us. Wicked people, just like in Jesus time.
I thought I'd show you an example of the communication we get from the so called 'christians' of today.This woman messaged us through our dontperish facebook page. Now keep in mind that such people are the ones who yell 'grace, grace, God is love....'
So brother Jim responded...
