Soft Shell Crab Season!


They're here..........and don't blink as they will be gone soon. My hard working husband works around the clock from pulling crab traps in the river to removing them from the crab tanks at just the right time.   

This is a link explaining what happens biologically :

Of course we just eat em and enjoy them.Basically the process they go through is out with the old shell, in with the new. They become
new creatures; all the old stuff is left behind, the shell, everything.
  
The neat thing is that when you become a Christian the same thing happens. When you trust in the death of Christ, that He willingly died on the cross for your sin, and proved He was God by raising to life from the grave, you become a new creature. And how soft crab season, right here at Easter, reminds us of that.




2 Corinthians 5:17
17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; 
the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.

Tired of the same old same old? Need a new shell? Christ promises that when we follow Him it won't be easy; but it will be rewarding.

Whatever Wednesday!

From MOO to YOU! This is one of my favorite pictures; I don't really know why-guess it is the colors, and a pretty cool cow! We hiked around the foothills near the farm we stayed at in Whittlesea, South Africa last summer--looking forward to going back this summer!

The cattle on a thousand hills."

Forgiveness.....

I had the blessing of being able to teach at a woman's bible study at our church recently, and I say blessing because in order to teach you really have to immerse yourself in the subject, And OH did I learn so much about forgiveness, about seeing others through HIS eyes of grace.

This is a short video that sums it up:
