My dear friend from elementary through high school passed away yesterday. He was only 31 years old! He leaves behind a young wife, a little daughter, and another baby on the way! He had a stroke late last week and did not make it. He had one a few months ago, and pulled through, but this time God called him home. He had a powerful testimony and is now safe in Jesus arms. He was a wonderful singer and will be greatly missed!
I encourage you to LOVE LOVE LOVE! Life is way too short to hold grudges and hatred in our hearts!
Tell everyone you see or talk to today, you love them and are praying for them! AND MEAN IT!
I love all of my readers and do pray for all of you even though I have never met most of you!
I Corinthians 13:1-13 (On Charity or Love)
1Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.2And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.3And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.4Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,5Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;6Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;7Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
8Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.9For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.10But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.11When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.12For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
13And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
I love all of you and am praying for you. May God bless you all!
In Memory of BC
May 30, 1978- September 21, 2010
Please be much in prayer for his wife and children and family he is leaving behind. I know God will take care of them, but they will appreciate your thoughts and prayers!

United Grocery Outlet (UGO) is a store which specializes in closeout, liquidations, and irregulars. There are often many organic items which are unadvertised. They are able to sell items at rock-bottom prices and do not accept manufacturers coupons. If you see something and it is near expiration date or you think it should be less, just ask! They will usually mark it down for you! I can sometimes get locally grown cage free eggs here for $0.79 per dozen and sometimes even less. They have been as much as $1.69 per dozen, but not often. When I find a good deal, I stock up and either freeze or can it if it is a perishable item! Not all stores have fresh produce or meat. You can go here to find a location nearest you and here to see the entire ad!
