Easy Tip

When you place leftovers in the fridge, put a piece of scotch tape on the with the name and/0r date, there will never be a question of "is that any good?"

Challenge for this week:
Organize your "junk" drawer.
We all have them, they take up space that could be better used, right? There couldn't be a better time for clean up than now... I will update with a picture of my new and improved junk drawer on Monday, what about you?

Faithful Friday

Today's verses are the first from Proverbs 16.

We can make our own plans, but the Lord gives the right answer.

People may be pure in their own eyes, but the Lord examines their motives.

Commit your actions to the Lord, and your plans will succeed.

The Lord has made everything for his own purposes, even the wicked for a day of disaster.

The Lord detests the proud; they will surely be punished.

Unfailing love and faithfulness make atonement for sin. By fearing the Lord, people avoid evil.
