GOOD BEAN SOUP AND POOR POETRY!

Bean Soup!  The crock pot is bubbling away and making good stuff.  It smells ever so good!  Today I was rummaging through the freezer and found a 10 pound box of bacon that I had forgotten about.  So there is bacon in the bean soup, plus a few leftovers that needed to be used up.  I'm pretty sure that it will all bend well and taste as good as it smells.  Did I tell you that I like Split Pea soup and Bean soup?

As I consider this I am aware that bacon has become pretty expensive, anywhere from $3.98 to almost $5.00 a package.  So coming across the bacon was a happy treasure find while freezer hunting.  I have a lot to use up because I want to get rid of that old freezer as it leaks and doesn't look so lovable anymore.  Using up what I have will save me money in the short term, and I do want to save money!  Who doesn't!

Gas was $3.55 for about two days.  Now it has jumped again because all the "checks" are coming out.  I am so sick of being manipulated by the government, big oil, and big business, that I wish I could just head for the hills and be independent of this farce of "global economy."

So, what else is new?  I went for a haircut, but as the S.S. checks are in the banks, everyone else wanted to get a hair cut, too.  I could see that the beautician was swamped, so I told her I would come back tomorrow, Which may be just as bad as today.  I went shopping instead and spent all of seven dollars.  I do need to get a few more items, but not many.  I continue to look for shoe polish, of all things!  Don't they make the stuff anymore?  The one and only place that I did find it had it priced at almost $5.00 per can.  Remember the size of the can?  They are not big enough for a project I have in mind.

I HAVE IT

ON GOOD

AUTHORITY

THAT JESUS

LOVES ME...

JUST AS I AM,

WITH ALL MY

FAULTS AND

 WEAKNESSES...

JUST AS I AM,

AS ONLY A GOOD

SHEPHERD

LOOKS UPON HIS

LAMB.

IT'S NOT THAT

HE DOESN'T

WANT ME

TO DO BETTER

EVERY DAY

 AND HE WALKS

THE PATH

BESIDE ME

TO GUIDE ME

ON THE WAY.

NEVER, EVER DOUBT

IT

THAT JESUS

LOVES YOU, TOO

HE WILL AND

CAN FORGIVE US

FOR ALL THE SINS

WE DO.

YES, JESUS IS

THE SHEPHERD

SHEEP

AND AS A

LOVING FATHER

FOLDS US IN HIS

KEEP...

JUST AS WE ARE..

JUST AS I AM..

Oh, I guess I'll never be much of a poet.  It's a good thing my livelihood never depended on my attempts at prose and poetry.

HUMBLE YOURSELVES

IN THE SIGHT OF GOD,

AND HE SHALL LIFT YOU UP.

James 4:10
