Merry Christmas!
Christmas is in the air. Christmas is a day that was set aside to honor Jesus' birthday? I love this time of year. Not to mention it’s also my birthday month. Remember that Jesus is the Reason for the Season! Give thanks to God for Jesus’ birth and for the Holy Spirit. Remember that Jesus’ birth was for the sole purpose of atonement for our sins. He is the, I AM, King of Kings, the perfect sacrificial Lamb, and He deserves praise and worship.
There is no other reason that Christmas exists or occurs. Therefore, while you are out shopping, feel free to greet others with a kind greeting of Merry Christmas. Show each other the love of Christ and let Jesus know that you appreciate all that he has done and will continue doing for humanity.
Merry Christmas to all!

Well, as we close out summer heading into fall; I find myself longing for one last summertime gathering. Once I was hanging out in Hollywood Florida with a friend. We were at the Hard Rock, on the concrete boardwalk.
It's funny how some things stay with you while others don't. I ordered a watermelon mojito. It was very tasty and refreshing. By far the best I ever had.
If only it did not cost $15, I would have had two.
So, before the cooler temperatures begin to take over; I think I will do my best to hold on to summer by making my own $15 mojitos and pick up some barbecue or jerk chicken to go along with it.
This will be my first attempt at making a watermelon mojito; therefore, I am sharing a recipe below; just in case you may want to try making your own.

One other article suggested lemon flavored rum.
I think being from Miami causes me to dread fall and winter temperatures. I thank God for all seasons; although, I am partial to spring and summer. I tend to hibernate in the winter. Georgia gets almost no snow; however, the temperatures can run close to the New Jersey and New York numbers.
I will do my best not to gain the parochial 5 pounds this winter. Last winter I did an aquatic Zumba class twice a week for an hour. :) I think it helped.
Remember to love one another.
A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
John 13:34, KJV

Life is good?
As I sit alone in the dark, my mind thinks of a simpler time. A time when children were actually called children (not kids), and the children were happy to be young and care free. A time when a boy enjoyed the chase of a girl.
Yes indeed, these were simple times. A time when it was okay to ride your bike to the pool or the park; although it was two miles away. When we left the house we had no real destination. Our only motive was fun. And, fun we had. No cell phones; no way for our parents to reach out and touch us. Not one child I knew was going to waste a nickel on a pay phone to call home.
All of my friends lived in a 3 block radius, which was cool. We would walk, and walk. As we walked, we would pick up a friend here and there. We never hung out with more than 3 or 4 at a time; not sure why, but for some reason that would be the extent of our group.
We always had each others back. Our unwritten code was "no man left behind," even before the military adopted that saying. We were thick as thieves and true blue; that is, until a boy was thrown in the mix. Then, all bets were off.
As for me, I would opt out of those situations. I thought it was just down-right-wrong to let any boy know that I liked him. I'm not sure why, but that was not in my DNA. Why do women chase men? It usually does not turn out right. Doesn't seem to be the natural order of things.
Yes, I have been called old-fashioned most of my adult life. No complaints here though, because it has kept me on the straight and narrow. Remember, we are all spiritual beings with flesh and blood. Try connecting with your spirit-man; which is how God speaks and shares with us. And, when you do, you will find that life is good!
Something to ponder...The lioness does not chase the lion; however, she does submit to him, once he fights for her.
