Coffee for Breakfast

A Facebook friend asked a simple question. "How long should a jar of Nutella last in a house of four"? Being my usual self... I answer, "Five minutes". She asked how long it should last though and not how long it does... She responded with a comment about how a post concerning Nutella brought people out of the woodwork. You know, the ones who don't normally post but will jump on a simple question about Nutella. Lol Yep! That's me. Why?  Well, it's nice to talk about Nutella. My life has been lacking some lightheartedness.  It's been a big year. It's been a BIG four years! My mind has been consumed with all kinds of heaviness. Nutella requires its own heaviness, but I can avoid that by choosing not to buy it! ;) Today, I'd just like to have a Nutella kind of day. Trade one heaviness for another.  Facebook should be fun. Facebook should be lighthearted. When it becomes something other than "Nutella", I just like to escape elsewhere. I

I've started a new Bible study this morning. This study will last all summer. I'll be following a simple method (S.O.A.P.) This method was introduced to me through a blog I love to read. The study is based on Proverbs 31. This is one of my favorite passages in the Bible. I have done numerous studies on Proverbs 31 in the past. I ALWAYS learn something new.     The new study started this morning with the first 2 verses of Proverbs 31. I'm pretty familiar with this entire passage so I felt like today would be a slow start. The first 2 verses are more of an introduction...so I thought. God definitely met me in a big way this morning.  As I read and copied the verses in my new notebook, a couple of thing really stood out. King Lemuel's mother is having a heart to heart with her child. This is her child. This is the child she gave birth to. This is the child she vowed to bring up in the way of the Lord. The bond between mother and child is not something to take lightly.

My "free" time has been taken with the pinterest bug. I avoided this craze  for the most part as everyone posted and pinned away. I was satisfied with my google search engine. I was able to find crafting ideas in abundance. I have more sites bookmarked than I will ever find time to create. Then, I started browsing pinterest, for fun. It wasn't long before I discovered the search engine at the top of the page. I'm a little slow sometimes. Lol I typed in "crochet". Now, I'm totally hooked! (no pun intended) Crocheting is something I learned to do at a time in my life that was very chaotic. I had heard that it was a stress reducer. At first I found it to be the opposite. I stressed and stressed over learning the basic stitches. Then, one day, I realized that I was able to mindlessly stitch away on some projects. In contrast, I also discovered that I was concentrating so much on more difficult patterns that I wasn't thinking about things I had no control
