2 pairs- two male and two female...

so 4 of the unclean...

they went 7x2 of the clean and of the birds...

7 pairs- 7 male and 7 female...

so 14 of the clean and of the birds...

and I remember the time we studied this...

he got real serious and leaned across the table and looked me in the eye...

you alone are responsible for you relationship and understanding of God and his Word...

never take anything anyone else tells you as truth...

including me...

unless you read it yourself...

God gave you everything you need to know and it's right here between these 2 covers...

the book he used...

THE BIBLE...

it's the best read you will ever do...

when I need an answer...

before I open my bible...

I pray for understanding...

and I say...

what do you want me to know today?...

and then I let the book fall open where it may...

and start reading...

I mentioned that my bf and designated shopper hit the mother lode last week for me...

I have a whole box and then some of "new" things to show off...

but I'm only allowed to do one a day...

bf said to make it last...

and to save the whites for white Wednesday...

so I don't run out!...

she calls...

this stuff is so you!...

I said, buy it...

she would describe something...

she and I are so good at this...

we know each other so well...

and we can picture what the other is talking about...

do you want that?...

yes, yes, yes...

the ladies in the background running the sale had the most contagious fit of the giggles just watching her shop for me...

oh, this is cool, it's so you, blah, blah, blah...

YES! YES! YES!...

they had to help her carry it to her truck...

this piece is me...

rustic, tin, punched, candle holder, star...

everything I love...

so, girlies, there will be more later...

and no- she is still mine...
