Bathroom Make Over Matthew 23: 26

~ Shelia's Notes ~ Leave a comment
You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and of the dish, so that the outside of it may become clean also.
This remodel reminds me of the above scripture.
What have we gained if we only make things look good on the outside?
We have to really dig down deep and clean the inside to make a lasting change.
I did not take the before-before picture of the bathroom.
I  started taking pictures after the workers had started.
I regret that because it looks quite different.
They took a two foot drop down ceiling out from above the tub area.
They took a 6 inch wall out from in  front of the tub
This allowed the tub to be moved  up.
This made room for the shelf at the back of the tub.
I love that shelf.
More pictures to come.
Have a blessed day.

God’s Emergency Phone Number for When We Grow Bitter and Critical

~ Shelia's Notes ~ Leave a comment



How can we remain bitter and critical
and lose confidence in people
when we read 1 Corinthians 13?
If I speak with the tongues of men and of angles,
but do not have love,
I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
If I have the gift of prophecy,
and know all mysteries and all knowledge:
and if I have all faith,
so as to remove mountains,
but do not have love, I am nothing.
And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor,
and if I surrender my body to be burned,
but do not have love,
it profits me nothing.
Love is patient,
love is kind,
and is not jealous;
love does not brag and is not arrogant,
does not act unbecomingly;
it does not seek its own,
is not provoked,
does not take into account a wrong suffered,
does not rejoice in unrighteousness,
but rejoices with the truth;
bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.
Love never fails;
but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away;
if there are tongues,
they will cease;
if there is knowledge,
it will be done away.
For if we know in part and we prophesy in part
but when the perfect comes,
the partial will be done away.
When I was a child, I used to speak like a child,
think like a child,
reason like a child;
when I became a man,
I did away with childish things.
For now we see in a mirror dimly,
but then face to face;
now I know in part,
but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known.
But now faith, hope, love abide these three;
but the greatest of these is love.

Happy New Year 2012

I like to say 2012
Twenty Twelve 
I like the sound of 2012
I always said 2011
Two Thousand Eleven.
Not, Twenty Eleven.
2010
Two Thousand Ten
Not, Twenty Ten.
You get the idea.
I just cannot say Two Thousand Twelve.
It just does not roll right.
2012 rolls right
2012 seems right.
2012 feels right.
I think that 2012 will be a great year.
Proverbs 14:13
There is a way which seems right to a man,
But its end is the way of death.
Let us make this year right with God.
