Oh. My. Goodness.

I just watched the latest preview for the new Harry Potter coming out in July. It looks fantastic.

For those of you who don't like Harry Potter, please don't be offended that I watch it or am "promoting" it on my blog.

I appreciate the imagination that it took to write the series and inspire the movie. I have yet to watch something on any of the movies that I believe would sway me from my Christian walk.

I know that it is all make-believe and maybe that's why I have no problem watching this series. I also have no problem with watching flying carpets (Aladdin) or talking mice ( Cinderella).

If you want to watch the preview click below:

My mouth is watering... and it isn't even 12 noon...

I was on Chrissie's blog which lead me to Favorite Family Recipes blog which lead me to The Pioneer Woman website... which lead me to leave work early to go satisfy my growling tummy..

How amazing are these apple dumplings!!

I just love how she has the PDF version for easy printing...

I want to leave early to go home and cook.. I think I just printed out 15 new recipes at work :)

Wedding Survey

So I made these wedding Save the Dates to send to a few family and friends, but still haven't sent them out. Even if I send them out this week, people won't be receiving/opening them until December, and we are going to send out our wedding invitiations early January.

So should I really send them out (I only spent about 12 dollars on them--it was a HUGE sale) or should I just wait for the invitations?

I wish I had scanned one in so I could put a picture up, they are really pretty, but I just don't know if I should really bother because it would be so close to the actual invitation...

HELP!

Psalm 119: 89-91

I have had so many friends tell me that they are Christians and then also tell me that they don't have to obey God's word on some certain issues. The most common one being saving yourself for marriage.

They tell me that the Bible was written sOoOoO long ago and that not all of it applies to "here and now".

So there I was sitting in church. Listening to an awesome message by Pastor Steve (Calvary Chapel Foothill Ranch) when he brought up Psalm 119: 89-91 (we are currently in the book of Exodus).

The next time someone feeds me the excuse that God didn't mean to apply the whole Bible to our present time I am going to tell them to go read Psalm 119: 89-91

God's Word doesn't change. His messages, principals, and commandments all still aply. I am so thankful for that along with his unchanging laws, his faithfulness also lasts through the generations. So that when I break his commandments I know that his love will always wash my sin away.

How awesome.
