Tues Revues

Coffee. In the morning. Before a late night. It is sunshine on a gloomy day. A fire in your hands when the wind is too strong. If you get the chance, buy a pound of freshly roasted beans at St. Thomas Roasters in Linglestown. Geoff, the owner, roasts every single day. Also, Coffeemate makes a new creamer (if you like that sort of thing), called Natural Bliss. There are no preservatives. It's fresh. It's natural. It's delicious. Try it. Eva rehearses this little jingle about fruits and veggies. She got it from a commercial after Sesame Street. When she was a little younger, I had a hard time getting her to eat a lot of veggies, so I started to look for ways to sneak 'em in. This pasta by Garden Delight, has a full serving of veggies and the noodles are delish! I use them for hot or cold pasta salads. Do you have other ideas for sneaking in more fruits and veggies? It's almost shorts-weather. Well, it was shorts-weather and now it's freezing...but it will be warm again soon. Maybe it's my 30-year-old perspective, but the shorts in department stores are SO stinkin' short! No one wants to see my mama bootie stickin' out when I bend over for a drink at the water fountain at the park! But...don't worry! I have a solution! All of those jeans that fit you before the baby, but are a little too baggy since the baby helps you keep the weight off...use those jeans and make shorts! Cut-offs are super popular and they can be super cute if you roll up the bottom cuff. Give it a whirl. You can make them as long or short as you'd like! This last entry isn't really a review of a product, but more like a review of a verse. I used to have this written on my dashboard and I just recently was able to feel the peace that comes from caring for His kids. Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you. James 1:27 Find a need. They are EVERYWHERE. Ask Him to show you if you can't see any on the surface. Be His hands and feet and fulfill a need. Clean for someone. Visit a grandparent. Drop off flowers at someone's house. Surprise a friend with a not. DO SOMETHING. Live alive because He's inside of you and the same spirit that raised Him from the dead is inside of you too! (I'd love to hear what you did and how it made you feel. I. dare. you.)
