Give Me Cupcakes. Fast!

A few weeks ago I stumbled across 

this at Bed Bath and Beyond.

It makes mini cupcakes in about 6 minutes.  

Of course I had to get it... especially since my nickname for Rissi has always been Cupcake.

Saturday night, we used it for the first time.

 

Voila!  

And cleaning the non-stick cupcake holders was a snap!

@ $30 this was well worth it!

But next time I think I'll divide my cake mix into thirds. 

 This was way too much cake for someone who is trying to stay away from cake (my favorite)!

Jesus. There's Something About that Name.

In spite of the many mistakes that I've made in my life...

God has been good.  I've been blessed. 

 I attribute that to Grace.  

Without God's Grace...  

I can't imagine where I'd be right now.

With so many different religions, beliefs and views on life...  I am Thankful that mine is in Christianity.  

I wasn't 'brought up' with 'religion' being high priority.  As a matter of fact, my parents would send us to Sunday School and Church without going themselves.

But I had a thirst for what life and death were all about.  I wanted to know...  where did I come from... how did I get here...  and where am I going after it's all over?  

I've done research and studies...  even wrote every word from The Bible out in longhand...  looking for answers and wanting to understand.  

There's so much I don't know.  

As we celebrate this time of the year for giving thanks... I'd just like to take this time to thank 

God for my Saviour, Christ the Lord.

  

Matthew 22:37-40

King James Version (KJV)

 ³⁷Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

 ³⁸This is the first and great commandment.

 ³⁹And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

 ⁴⁰On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

Gracie and I wish you all a beautiful and safe Thanksgiving...  Love  to all!

Mental Cruelty

Okay class.  Everybody needs to line up for lunch. 

  Buyers in the front... packers in the back. 

 Gracie, are you buying or did you bring a packed lunch?  Okay, then you can come to the front of the line.

Gracie, if you don't come to the front of the line I'm going to make you go to the principals office.

That's it.  You're in trouble for not following the rules like Rainbow, Charles, Samantha, Stephanie and Jewlana. 

Dear Diary,

Ever since the Cookie Carrier's been in school she expects me to be one of her 'students' (whatever that is).  Isn't there some kind of mental cruelty law for pups like me to stand behind in cases like this? 

 Ugh. 

 Is she gone home yet> 

  Maybe...  

yes! 

 Finally,  Rest.
