Used to…

So don’t let anyone condemn you for what you eat or drink, or for not celebrating certain holy days or new moon ceremonies or Sabbaths. For these rules are only shadows of the reality yet to come. And Christ himself is that reality.

Colossians 2:16-17 NLT

I used to do this.

A lot.

So wrong, so wrong.

Two Five

Twenty-five years ago, I married my best friend…what a wonderful adventure we started and continue each blissful day!

We’re not experts, but learn something new each day of the journey – about each other, relying on God, and so much more.

Karen, I love you so much!

Jan 19, 2012 Chewable

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

I give you, GuBrewYoGlop*:
