Leave Those JoBros Alone!

Ok, so I am not a Jonas Brothers fan or anything, but I do respect these boys. They wear purity rings... how cool? :)

Kevin, (Jonas on right), is getting married. They want a calm family event for his bachelor party. A yahoo blogger cannot stand the fact that there may be pure people in the world.

"An epic night of debauchery -- he'll regret it later if he doesn't do it now. " Seriously- regret? Living for Christ is nothing to regret... having a crazy bachelor party WOULD be something to regret.

Get full ridiculous story here.

Romans 12:2- And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.

Worth it?

Since you have accepted Christ, what has been your worst form of persecution? Friends making fun of you, slander of you by all walks of life including people you love all the way to complete strangers, or distance between you and your family and friends. Yes, those are legitimate persecutions we face as Christians, but have you ever feared for your life? If you are an American, probably not. If you are a Muslim, (yes even in America), then yes you probably have- if you are not already dead.
We need to be fervently praying for this beautiful girl, Rifqa Barry. She is 17 years old, and she converted to Christianity from Islam 4 years ago. Her family recently found out, and have threatened to kill her. She ran away and is in court right now to determine if she should be sent home to her parents. Of course her family is denying it and are coloring her as a normal hormonal teenager. "Honor Killings," yes even in America, occur... the media covers it up, or just ignores it all together. Also, there was a Facebook group of 123 people who said that if she comes home to Ohio, then they will kill her. FB of course took off the group, but that is just proof that Honor killings still exist.

Visit here and here to learn more.

PRAY PRAY PRAY!!! Not just for her, but for all of our Brothers and Sisters in Christ that are facing death for simply accepting Christ.

DIY Christ Centered Decor





I read this quote and KNEW I HAD TO HAVE IT! I decided to put it with a pretty picture and make a poster. I looked through my pictures and found this one to go with the quote. I am hoping to print it out in three sections like this, (or something like it).

Who is George Washington Carver anyway? He is a new hero of mine and my husband! He was such a hero of faith! You have to look him up- and never fear- I will post about him on here soon! :)

I am a firm believer in using photographs in home decor! Look through your photos to see if you have some decor worthy photographs too! :)

Christ Centered Fall Decor

I saw these pumpkins at the Christian store last year, and I HAD TO HAVE THEM!!! Well, I actually had to wait to get them, but either way- I have them! :) I LOVE them!!! They are my only fall decor. I love them because they can stay out from Sept to Nov. They are not too Thanksgivingish, nor are they too Halloweenie, (we don't celebrate Halloween). AND the scriptures- PERFECT!!!
Oh, and be sure to notice the painting above the fireplace- that is there year round... it was another, "HAVE TO HAVE" item.




Don't you just LOVE them???

The pumpkins and the painting were purchased from Family Christian Stores.

Never Forget

I hope we never forget 9/11/01. Watch this video as a reminder of how you felt that day, and in honor of those who lost their lives and those who mourn them.


Watch this video in its entirety and be sure to grab the kleenex! There is a man talking, and it is worth a full listen!




So if you would have died in the tower, the pentagon or the field in Pennsylvania, would you have gone to Heaven? Jesus is the only way to Heaven. We are all sinners in need of a Savior. Jesus is that Savior. Accept Him as your Savior, and repent of your sins, and you can have Everlasting Life. Want more information? Please comment and leave your email address, and I would be happy to share it with you! ♥
