Faith

Happy Monday!
Here's a Scripture verse to get your Monday started off right.
He replied, "Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."
Faith as small as a mustard seed.  I need to be reminded of that.
Have a blessed and great Monday!

Cooking

Blessed Sunday!
I received a cookbook for Christmas.  I guess I will be learning to cook.  I need to know how to more than three things.  I can make rice, cheesecake and cornbread.  I want to learn how to cook easy, simple and healthy meals.  This cookbook has great recipes, but many look quite complex.  Friends, do you have any simple and healthy recipes I could make?  Any favorite recipe websites?  I am truly a novice.  I could use any and all helpful suggestions!
Thank you in advance!

Football!

New Year's Day may be the beginning of a new year, but for football fans, this day is pure utopia.  The amount of college football games on yesterday was pure football overload for me.  I love football.  I love sports, period.  I was tuned into the Outback Bowl pitting South Carolina against Michigan.  The Gamecocks versus the Wolverines.  It was a nail biter to watch.  I usually like to watch the game alone so that no one sees me yell at the television.  I also pace around the house for the duration of the game.  I love football.
It was sad to see Denard Robinson end his college career with a loss.  I enjoyed watching Jadeveon Clowney be the spectacularly talented star that he is.  In sports, however, there must be losses.  Nobody wants second best on a given day.
I will be watching Alabama versus Notre Dame on January 7th.
Friends, Did you watch the Carolina game yesterday?  Will you be watching the National Title game?
Who will win it all?

A choice

Good morning!

Today I choose to smile
for a frown
gives me nothing
but a hard time

A smile brings hope and joy
a frown
can only lead
to unnecessary frustration

Happiness is a choice
One I must make for my own sanity
A choice
that only has two answers

Yes means
I choose the glass half full
No means
A glass half empty


I want to live a happy, joyous life!  I want to make a decision each day to see the beauty in any circumstance.
Have a great day, friends!

I am a new creation, and this is a new day!
Have a great day!
