The End of the Story

“Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.” Psalm 23:6 KJV

“Tell me the old, old story” says the old hymn. Sure, we tell of Gabriel’s visit (Luke 1:26-38), Joseph’s dream (Matthew 1:20-23), the star of the Magi (Matthew 2:1-2), and the miraculous birth in a stable. (Luke 2:6-7)

We tell of a boy who grew in “wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and with man.” (Luke 2:52)

We tell of a man who made the blind see, the lame walk, and the dead rise. (Matthew 11:5)

We tell of that awful night in a garden when Jesus literally shed blood, sweat, and tears as he prayed for the cup to pass from him, but accepted the will of God and the betrayal kiss of a beloved friend. (Mark 14:32-45)

We tell of the sham of a trial, the brutal crucifixion, and the hurried, incomplete burial in a borrowed tomb. (Luke 23)

Then - the best part! - we tell of an enormous stone, another angel’s visit, and an empty burial-bed with linen laid upon it. (Luke 24) Jesus came, lived a perfect life, died for our sins, then conquered sin and death and the grave for the enormity of His love for us.

Hallelujah!

But that’s not the end of the story.

The real end of the story isn’t even found in the gospel accounts. It’s way back there in the Old Testament. In one of the best-known Scripture passages - the twenty-third Psalm. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know you’re saying it in your head already. But stop. Read that last phrase of that last verse:

“...I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.”

That’s the end of the story.

Out of the Box Sampler Review

After buying the Out of the Box Sampler for two months, I contacted Michelle and applied to do a review. After all, I knew it'd be a good one! I absolutely love it! Being ever gracious, Michelle did indeed give me approval to review the March sampler in honor of St. Patrick's Day.

I anxiously waited. I could hardly contain my excitement as I opened the box. I mean, this was a box full of handmade Awesomeness inspired by Ireland and St. Patrick's Day - what could be better? I opened the box, explored it all and set it out all nice and pretty for you to see. The entire video was over 16 minutes, so I broke it up into chunks for you.

Here's video one, in which we discover the yummo bits of sampler - candy and cookies and spices, oh my!

The next sample was so extraordinary it required its own video. See if you don't gasp when you see this!

Next up are the paper goods, and the "yummy smelly" things!

Last but not least, the bath and body samples! Check out the pampering possibilities here! *And stay tuned to the very end for a very important message you won't want to miss!

Yep, my birthday is next month and one of you will get a present to celebrate! One of you will receive the April Out of the Box Sampler!

Mandatory Entry:

Leave a comment telling me what the required entry is as mentioned in the last video and that you did it, and include your email address (example: yourname (at) domain (dot) com).

St. Patrick's Day Friday Fill-in

[caption id="" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="http://fridayfillins.blogspot.com/"]

[/caption]

Ok, so it's not Friday. But I can't very well bypass the St. Pat's Friday Fill-in, can I? No, I can't, so there, nah-nah.

1. I am so looking forward to Monday when the kids go back to school?

2. I'll clean some more later.

3. When you get excited about something, do something about it.

4. Yarn is a big part of my life.

5. If you need anything open yourself up to asking for help. Those who love you can't help you if they don't know your needs.

6. I'd love to take a trip.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to getting some writing done, tomorrow my plans include cleaning the house some more and Monday, I want to get even more writing done!

St. Patrick's Day Friday Fill-in

St. Pat's Safety: Buzzed Driving IS Drunk Driving

[caption id="attachment_4048" align="alignleft" width="234" caption="Buzzed driving *is* drunk driving!
Don't drink and drive! "]

[/caption]

St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner, and it’s not the luck of the Irish that will keep the roads safe - it’s planning now for a safe and sober way home.

Are you headed out with friends after work this Wednesday to celebrate the holiday’ No’ Well when you and your family are on the road headed to choir practice, a t-ball game, or coming home from school, you may be sharing the road with those returning from a fun St. Patrick’s Day event. It’s time to spread the word about the dangers of buzzed driving and to remind people that Buzzed Driving IS Drunk Driving, and the best way to stay safe is to plan ahead.

Let’s remind everyone about the importance of remembering to:

* Designate a sober driver before you leave for your event.
* Be ready to take alternate transportation such as a bus or taxi. Have the phone number of a taxi service stored in your phone before you leave for the party.

Even if you will not be celebrating this St. Patrick’s Day, keep in mind that in 2008, 1,179 people in other vehicles were killed in crashes involving alcohol-impaired drivers. And for those who don’t plan on over-indulging, a buzzed driving crash looks the same as a drunk driving crash.

Global Influence is working with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Ad Council as they continue their efforts with the “Buzzed Driving is Drunk Driving” PSA campaign. Buzzed drivers drink and drive, but do not consider themselves a hazard on the roadway because they have had “only a few” drinks. The campaign hopes to educate people that consuming even a few drinks can impair driving and that “Buzzed Driving is Drunk Driving.”

We need your help in keeping the roads safe for everyone this St. Patrick’s Day by spreading the word that buzzed driving IS drunk driving.

To learn more about the impact buzzed driving can have on a life, please watch this important video about the financial and personal repercussions of getting a DUI: http://buzzeddriving.adcouncil.org/sign.php#video

Remember: Buzzed Driving IS Drunk Driving. Plan ahead and ask your loved ones to do the same.
For more information, visit Buzzed Driving Is Drunk Driving on Facebook and Twitter (@Buzzeddriving).

This is a public service message shared via the Global Influence Network.
