pre-blessed food

You better have a sense of humour for this one. Actually if you didn't have a sense of humour it's unlikely you would be checking out a site called faithplant, right?

Thanks to my son for this delightful poke at the "inconvenience" of saying grace...

Where'd The Music Go?

This is just more of a note about the changes at the top of the page. Instead of having buttons to click and several pages, I have decided to streamline things by posting them here and leaving a few more comments.

I have been a fan of Avalon but when I came across this music I loved it. The song could use one more remix part way through I think but overall it's pretty good. It's about how God sustains us like oxygen - his Spirit can indwell us bringing us into such an amazing relationship with him.

When you take the first breath and open your heart to him, he will come into your heart and you will never be the same again. Never abandoned, never alone. He breathes life into us that sustains us through hard times and brings a new level of appreciation for all of the good stuff (blessings) that he surrounds us with.

Hide and Seek

(This is lifted from an old blog of mine - still all true and a great song. Unfortunately the video I used is not available, so I used the one below.)

Imagine playing hide and seek and no one came to find you. Life can feel that way at times – and after a while maybe we forget that we are hiding, maybe we even forget the reason that we went to hide in the first place.
Or maybe the reason that we are hiding is still very real to us – fear.  Fear of failure, fear of rejection, fear of loss.  But whatever those fears that keep you hiding, God is waiting patiently for you to come out.  He has not forgotten you and he cares that you are hiding.
When kids play hide and seek they curl up with their knees to their chest and huddle with arms over their knees and heads down – if they can’t see, then maybe others won’t see them.  If that’s you, look up and you will see the light of God’s love at your feet, lighting the way to Him and leading you out.  You don’t have to hide.
