good morning beautiful people!!!! guess what we got? warming temps!!!! woohoo!!! yay, yes, I'm so thrilled. maybe all this snow will get blasted outta here. I sure hope so. I'm ready for the sun to shine and I'm ready to get my tomatoes put in solo cups so I can start some more seeds. I'm just ready for a little bit of warmth and heat. like they say, if you don't like the weather, just wait 15 minutes and it will change. so I've been waiting, and waiting, and waiting and I'm ready for it already!! hahaha we'll probably have one last hoorah of winter around the middle of march, we usually do in my area. but by then, it won't last long. I'm just itching to get my hands in the dirt. hahaha it will happen, it will happen, it will happen. hahaha
---------------------
ok, are you ready for the "giggle for the day"? ready or not, here it is:
Q - Why did the bicycle fall over?
A - Because it was two tired.
---------------------------
and we have another "2 minutes in the kitchen with me", who knew. hahaha I think I had mentioned that snow days were good day to bake bread. hahaha well, they are, so I got another batch made. this is a batch of sourdough bread. I fed the starter very early in the morning. later on about 10 am I made the dough and let it rise till about 3 pm. then I punched it down and weighed it and made 2 mini loaves and 4 hot dog buns. I let them rise till about 8 pm and then I baked them and got them out of the over and this is the finished produce. tada!
I really like making the mini loaves. I can slice lengthways and get 6 slices and then I make panini sandwiches from them and they are so good. I'll do that about once a week. we love them and could eat them every day, but my goodness, I sure don't need it. I want it, but don't need it. hahaha
these buns will be super too. I like to put an aldi brand apple chicken sausage on these. they are so good on these buns. I'll be making more of the buns too.
these are sourdough buns. the next hotdog buns I make will be from my brioche bread recipe. I love that bead recipe better than any recipe I have, other than my sourdough recipe.
I hope if you don't make homemade bread from scratch that you'll give it a try. it's very rewarding!!

let's take a look at the book Psalms today. it's a very long book with a lot of songs of praise, poems and prayers. it's pretty easy to find something good in this book. because every page of it has praise to God. the very first Psalm starts by telling us that whoever reads and thinks on the word of God is blessed. if for no other reason, reading the bible each day can and will be a blessing for us. when we focus on it and try to glean from His word, what God wants us learn, that in itself is a blessing. how else will we ever know the heart of God. this is where we will see what pleases God. if we don't know how to pray or what to pray, find a Psalm and read it. read it to God. the bible says that His words do not return void to Him. when we pray and read God's own words back to Him, He will act upon those words. one of the ways to seek after the heart of God is to develop a life long habit of prayer. without prayer and God's word, how else can we know the heart of God? it's impossible. I can certainly tell you that the world will not ever point you in the direction of God. we will only find Him in His word. do you readily know a lie when you hear it? can you spot a fake when you see a fake? that's where wisdom and discernment come into the picture. Solomon prayed for wisdom and discernment and God gave it to him. those are 2 characteristics that God is more than happy to give His true seekers.
the days we are living in actually requires some wisdom and discernment to maneuver around all the lies we've been told for so long. some of those lies are actually being exposed now and the devil in the liars, is getting very upset. just so know you, those who scream, yell and kick are the ones who have been liars for many years and are trying to keep from getting exposed. some of us knew all along, but some are just now seeing the lies being exposed. I pray that God will keep exposing the liars in high places until they're all exposed. if they have been guilty of wasting tax payers dollars, I pray they get exposed. if they are guilty of stuffing their pockets or their friends pockets, I pray they get exposed. I pray that we'll see the days of them all paying the tax payers back of all they have stolen from us. I pray God's will be done in all of this. when we have a relationship with Him thru the shed blood of Christ, then we really know and see what's going on, even when people are telling us differently. we've listened to news media and anyone can see how biased they are. they are doing everything they can to destroy this nation. I've said for years that most of them need to be shut down. and that they are being paid off and that's been found out to be true. so with the grace of God, lies are being exposed. I pray that we keep seeking after the heart of God in all that we do. my prayer is for the ones that are Christians, to stay strong, stand firm and don't be afraid, because God is with them and us and He will fight for them and us and we're seeing some of that even as I type.
in order for us to remain strong, we need to pray and read these Psalms daily. king David wrote a lot of these to God himself. David wasn't a man without sin, but he was a man after God's own heart. none of us are without sin either, but we can be people after God's own heart. what are you seeking after? let's seek after the heart of God and find Him in every one of these Psalms.
-------------------------
well, I guess we'll wrap it up here for the time being. I pray we all have a blessed day and that we can be found seeking after the heart of God. may peace and wisdom be ours today.
hugs and love, patty
