Bible Study and a project from start to finish

good morning from my soggy, soaked, snow covered neck of the woods.         you know what they say, if you don't like the weather, wait a couple of minutes  and it will change.        first we get flooding and next we get snow and who knows what it will be before the day is over, I sure don't, but I'm happy to be a part of this awesome day.        I hope everyone has a most lovely day and that we thank God for it.

I finally got some pics of the just about the whole process of making my eggs, cheese and sausage patties for my husband's breakfast.         he loves these and I have to say that I do too.

the first thing is the cheese.        I'll fold each slice of cheese in half on top of itself and then I'll take my scissors and cut 3 stack of 2 in each well on my little baking thingies.        once I get all 3 slices of cheese cut and in the little wells, I'll separate each little stack of 2 cheese slices and spread them evenly over the bottom.        while I'm doing that, I 'll have the sausage links in the mircowave, thawing them out.        once they are thawed, I'll make 4 long sticks out of each sausage link.

once I get them all cut, I'll start putting 6 sticks in each well, directly over the cheese.        and by the way, I got these silicone baking pans from amazon.       these are the 4 inch ones.         they are also the ones that I use to bake my brioche buns in and that them from rising too much and getting large then my patties.

you can put them in there however you want to, I just try to get good spacing and go back and adjust as necessary.

once I get the sausages in, it's time to crack and beat the eggs.       I'll use 3 eggs per tray and also about 3 to 4 tablespoons of water to beat the eggs with.      then I'll pour as evenly as possible in each well.

this is both trays baked and finished.        once they cool, I'll take them out and put them in fliptop sandwich bags and then I'll put 2 of those in my freezer zip top bags.

this will make 12 breakfasts for my husband or less if we use them as a quick and easy meal sometimes when we've been busy.       however we use them, they are delicious and paired with one of my homemade brioche buns, it's a great meal.      once you get your routine down pat for making these, it goes pretty quickly.       I can get these done in about 30 minutes.       when the first tray is in the oven baking, I'm finishing up on the second tray getting it ready to go in when the first tray is done.      I bake them for 25 minutes each tray at 350*.       while the first tray is in the oven, it takes me about 5 minutes to get the second tray finished up and sitting by the oven, waiting to go in.  by the time the first one is done, I've already got the  kitchen cleaned up and moved on to the next project, while the second one bakes.     I hope this gives you some ideas on quick and easy breakfasts.

time for the "giggle for the day":

why was Cinderella so bad at soccer?

she kept running away from the ball!

starting in Nehemiah today, we see that one person can make a difference.       we see what restoration looks like.          we live in such an intimidating world these days and everyone has an opinion, whether you asked for it or not, you'll get it and in a most hateful and vulgar way.       one person who serves a mighty God, can and will make a difference.       one person, who serves a might God and who stresses the importance of prayer can and will make a difference.         Nehemiah led by example.        Nehemiah was a leader with perseverance, who faced intimidating opposition.        he faced all kinds of opposition while leading the efforts to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.        the walls were for protection, but some people have a tendency to think walls are a bad idea.      maybe, maybe not.        any good wall will have an equally good door in it.      walls keep the unwanted out, and doors will let wanted in.        it all depends on the who.        Nehemiah identified the need and that was rebuilding the wall and then he sought the help of God.       Nehemiah set himself up for success in those ways.        identifying the need and seeking God's help.       Nehemiah wanted to bring order, stability and proper focus on God.        that sounds like a dream plan for today, doesn't it.

what a world it would be to bring order, stability and proper focus on God back.         we've kicked God out of so many places, even our churches are missing God, because He's not welcome there anymore.     one thing we see is the faithfulness of God in protecting His people and He wants their faithfulness in their worship.         I can assure you, that God wants our faithfulness in worship.       I challenge us all to remain faithful the calling that God has on our lives and to face opposition with courage, knowing that no matter happens, it's God ordained and He's with us.         Nehemiah was a man of prayer who led the people of Israel to prayer.         are we a people of prayer?        are we dedicated to leading other people to be a people of prayer?       Nehemiah called the people to people to unity.        how many of us live in a country that is unified?         not many of us do.         there are so many people in every country on this planet who are here for one reason and one reason only, and that is make sure there is NO unity!!!    we all know this is true, we see it every time we watch the news.       it's fair to say that if there was unity anywhere on the face of the planet, the media wouldn't share it and if they did, they would lie about it, so there's that.       but Nehemiah was about unity.       just as I was typing this, "unity in the community" come to mind.         look at the last 5 letters in the word community, it's unity.       I wonder if that has any significance?           maybe, maybe not.      it would be nice if there was unity in doing the Lord's work, but these days, that's not possible.         simply because of all the sin and heinous activities that has been brought into the church, not by God, but by the godless heathen that have control over the churches today.        if you go to church, you know what I mean.        the church doors have been flung wide open to all the homosexuals and they're now behind the pulpit of a lot of churches.        if it's not homosexuals, it's women behind the pulpits, that's another disgrace altogether.        we have missed the mark for so many years now, that I don't know if the church will ever be more than a glorified saloon or dance hall or the next great social club.        there's very little worship that goes on and shame on us!!!   what will we do about it?

we'll pick back up in Nehemiah next time.

---------------------

well, I guess we'll call it good for today and hopefully we all have a wonderful day.        let's remember to seek the heart of God in all we do.       it will make a difference in how act and react to the situations that arise.      have a great day.       hugs and love, patty

Bible Study and breakfast patties

good morning beautiful ones.       I hope you had a wonderful night of rest and are ready to face the day with a bounce in your step.        I'll have more bounce in my step when we get the morning walk behind us.        hahaha         I don't know what all we'll get into today, but if we keep God in it, it will be a great day.       it's supposed to be a wet day, so we'll see what comes from it.       I may see if I can get some of my pots filled with container soil so I'll have them ready to put seeds in when the right time rolls around.        I'm getting the desire to stick seeds in my containers.        hahaha        I'm trying to rush and get thru to the end of spring while we're still in mid winter.      somedays it feels like winter, some days it feels like spring and some days even feel like summer.      what ever the day brings, we'll try to make the best of it.        that sounds like a pretty good plan, so lets get busy y'all.

--------------

so lets do a really quick "2 minutes in the kitchen with me".          this is one of the things that I got done the other day.           it's a dozen of the breakfast patties that I make for my husband.          not only are they good for breakfast, but they are a quick meal, if I need something in a hurry.       they're very easy to make and pretty quick, once you get your process worked out.

it's all about finding what works for you and this works works very well for my hubby.         once I get them made and baked,  I let them cool off and put 1 to a flip top sandwich bag and then I put 2 of those in a freezer zip top bag and in they go to freezer camp.        I pull a bag out at a time and that way no more than 2 are thawing in the fridge at a time.         one thing I have to do is try to keep rolls baked.   now that's a real situation when I have the patties and no rolls to put them on.        hahaha        it doesn't happen very often, but it does happen.         so I have to stay on my toes at all times.         it's a juggling act keeping my breakfast and his breakfast going at all times.        hahaha          but it's a good juggling act.          we both have what we love and enjoy and what's good for us.         that's what it's all about.

picking up in 1 Kings Chapter 17 we meet Elijah, the prophet.       and what a man of God he is.        he's a breath of fresh air considering the kings we have been reading about.         every once in a while a good man comes along and Elijah was one of those good godly men.          flour bowl and oil jar.        2 common household ingredients, but to a poor woman, they were hard to come by.         but God!!!!         a dead son.       but God!!!!!!          Elisha's God versus Ahab's god.         who wins?         it's no contest, Elisha's God wins hands down.        but God!!!!!          the Lord, He is God!!!!!!!         Elijah was afraid of Jezebel, Ahab's wife.         she threatened to kill Elijah.        she was an evil and wicked woman.       so Elijah flees  and he asked the Lord to just take his life now.           sometimes the things going on around us are so loud that we can't hear when God is with us.         God wasn't in the powerful wind, God wasn't in the earthquake, but He was in the small wind like breeze that blew.         what are we listening for, someone loud and threatening, or are we listening for God in the stillness around us.        God is not in confusion at all, so if you're trying to listen to Him, get away from chaos and noise and make yourself available to the still small voice.         with a lot wars and fights between kings, Elijah is finally taken up by God in a whirlwind, but not before giving Elisha a double portion of his spirit.      God granted that by Elisha being with Elijah and seeing him taken up in the whirlwind.        one good man leaves and another good man is ready to pick up where he left off.       be careful of making fun of a bald headed man, it could cost you your life.          just a good reminder to teach children to be respectful to their elders.        that's not  done now a days.       children aren't taught respect for anyone or anything.        mostly because children have parents that weren't taught to respect others.        you can't  teach something you know nothing about.         

next time we'll pick up at 2 Kings Chapter 3.

-------------

well, I hope everyone has a blessed day today and that we remember to keep God first in all things.       I don't know what we'll get into today, but if it's exciting, I'll share it with y'all.          don't hold your breath though.        hahaha.       oh well, we never know what might happen.        in all things, let's be grateful and thank God for the day.         blessings y'all.       hugs and love, patty 

Bible Study, breakfast for my husband

good cold morning from the land of  the "frozen".           hahaha          it is cold.         I had gotten up at about 1 am this morning and it was 20 degrees and then at 5 am, it was 17 degrees and now at 8:35 an it is a warm 23 degrees.         all the time the local weather app says our low was 29 degrees.          the weather app lies.        our micro climate is much colder than the apps say.         so I just look outside on my deck to see what the temp is.         

for some reason I was doing around this morning and my mind went to my precious sister in Christ who is in the presence of our dear Lord and Savior.       Jamie went home to be with Jesus back in Dec of 2015.       I have missed her terribly since.        it has been 9 years since I've seen her precious face.        we used to get out and just go fun local places.        enjoy a meal and pray over the server and the restaurant in general.         we would go shopping and pray over someone that the Lord led us to.        her memory popped in my mind this morning and it hit me pretty hard.        I have missed her and the way she could just take you right to the very presence of the Lord.        so, Jamie, I just wanted you to know that Pearl Joy sure does miss Pearl Love a lot.       I still reach for my cellphone to send you a text or call, or wait for a text or a call from you.        I know that one of these days we'll be together again and I hope we both have our tutus so we can dance before the Lord while praising His holy name.  

I think I was thinking about my blog and Jamie was my biggest fan.         she said she loved how she could just feel like she was in my presence when she was reading a new post.         she said it felt like it was written specifically for her, kinda like we were sitting at the kitchen table, chatting while sipping coffee.         when I was making my coffee this morning, Jamie popped into my memory.        she couldn't have ever told me anything better than what she told me.

I want every one to feel like you're visiting with me personally, sitting at my kitchen table, sipping coffee or tea and chatting.         I sure hope that's how at least one person feels.         anyway, on to the rest of the blog.

--------------

we'll do another "2 minutes in the kitchen with me".           for the time being, it will be a regular part of my blog.

this is what some of my brioche buns are used for.         the buns and the sausage, cheese and egg patties are the same size.        I bake the sausage cheese and egg patties in the same silicone muffin top pan that I bake the buns in.

the next time I'm thawing and letting my buns rise, I'll take a picture so it will make more sense.     

but they are a perfect match.         a match made in my kitchen.        hahaha        and I must say that my husband loves his breakfast every morning.         I do appreciate that too.

all my hard work pays off and it's very much appreciated.

-------------------------

picking up with Exodus in chapter 21, we read about all the various laws.       these are very interesting to say the least.         Exodus 23: 6bsays , "and do not kill the innocent or the righteous, for I will not acquit the guilty."            this made me think about all the abortions that this country and the world at large is guilty of.        some of these days there will be responsibility taken for this atrocity.         we also read about the 3 National Feasts that the Israelites were to observe.         we have replaced scripture with easter, halloween and christmas.           and all the festivities and parades that surround the abominable homosexuals and all the deviant evil wicked behaviors that have chosen to call their lifestyle.      please, someone show me a scripture that says this is ok.       I've read the bible thru several times and I've never once seen God call this behavior anything but abominable.        so to go to church and   claim to be a Christian, choosing to  live this lifestyle, let me just say that there is no way that you  can be a Christian.          that's not my judgement call, that's what God says, in multiple places in His word.

over and over again, God tells His people not to even speak the names of the pagan gods, and yet we see that over and over again not only do they speak the names, but they worship the pagan gods.       the very thing that God tells us not to do , is the very thing that we bust a gut to do.       was that way then and it's still the same way now.     

there is lots of info about building a sanctuary, tabernacle for God to be among them.       God specified exactly what He wanted and they built it with a lot of the spoils from Egypt.

God had explained to Moses exactly what He wanted in the way of a tabernacle and all the furnishings of all kinds, garments to be worn and anointing oils and God had written the 10 commandments in stone with His finger.        the people knew where Moses was all along.         they had previously agreed to all the commands of God and that they would serve God and only Him.         when Moses come off the mountain, from the presence of God, we see in the short time of 40 days the people had grown restless and wanted something to worship.         wow, how familiar does that sound???         that's just like us today.        yes. it is.        we'll see how this turns out next time.

--------------------

well, I guess this is where we'll call it a done job on this blog post.          I hope you seen something here that you like, if you did tell someone about it.        I hope you have a most beautiful day and that you remember to thank God for allowing you to be a part of it.         I'm so thankful that God woke me up this morning, I hope you are too.          blessings of peace, joy and love be yours today.         hugs and love, patty
