Scars That Never Go Away


My dog has a bad habit of getting on my bed and doing the back rubbing thing that dogs do.  Because of this, we try to keep our bedroom door shut.  But it doesn't always work.  Someone will leave the door open and when no one is looking, he will sneak in.

This results in torn comforters or sheet sets.  Believe you me, it has been a thorn in my flesh dealing with that.  Last week, while I had my bedding in the wash, he went on the bed and ripped up our mattress topper - you know the squishy foam thing?  Now it looks like a lion got ahold of it with its big, ol' claws with all these marks in it.

Ugh.  You know what?  There is no way to fix it.  The damage is done and that's that.

There's probably things in your life from 2018 that caused damage to you.  To your heart, your soul, your mind.  Those memories and hurts just don't go away.  They will sit there on your bed, like my mattress topper, and stare at you and remind you.  Remind you of the scars that those hurts caused.  

No, scars won't go away.  But Jesus is there to give healing to the wounds.  "He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds."  Psalm 147:3

Give your wounds to Jesus today. Yes, the scars will remain.  Let them be a reminder not of the sin that caused them but of our Savior who healed them!

Happy 45th Birthday, Eric!

  Happy birthday to my husband, Eric!   He turns 45 today.  I am surprising him with tickets to a Miami Dolphins game in Miami.  I got him tickets one other time years ago when we lived in Reno.  We drove to Oakland to see the Dolphins play the Raiders.  I think this will be a great memory for him and a home game too! Happy birthday, babe!

Recipe: Chicken Parmesan

  Chicken Parmesan This is a delicious recipe from Magnolia Table: Volume 2. 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts  1/4 tsp. kosher salt 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper 2 large eggs 1 tsp. garlic salt 1 sleeve (30-40) buttery crackers, crushed 4 oz.
