It was going a little flat and I wanted to enhance the flavor a little so decided to add some ginger to it to give it a little more gingery, spicy, snappy flavor. I just added a teaspoon or so (I am not really sure how much) to a glass and added the ginger ale. After </strong></font><font face="Comic Sans MS"><strong>it sat a while, I poured it through a strainer and then drank it. Well, it worked and we actually liked it that way pretty well. So I decided to try it again. I bought a two liter of ginger ale and this time I decided to add the ginger right into the bottle of ginger ale and then strain it as I drank it. It seemed to be working fine, but after 30 seconds or so, I noticed that the ginger ale was starting to foam a little. I decided to put the lid back on. As soon as I did, not only was it foam, but it began spewing everywhere! I never did get the lid back on and maybe that was good because we could have had an explosion. I sort of let out a screech, overreacting like I often do, and hurried it into the sink before my kitchen was a total disaster. My husband said, get the video camera, and of course I could not think fast enough to know where it was. But we did manage to get a picture of the tail end of it. It was really much worse than this. Oh well, that was my excitement for the day.</strong></font></font> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVMiEqeO-aldywIL35dM-nillBD78TcmEhobkYGD1j32eoFbnIp5cS-89W0iEtexMFZdXP2Pw8kzZGR6dlXO203qk76TMD15v4DnRGzueYrsSME753k3e5Om2kvVaWHZH7nho14rgjBsQ/s1600-h/P1080327%25255B7%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1080327" border="0" alt="P1080327" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLxYi2Y-HcMNjnfgvZkTMAqxlP0JyiXBLxddjCxyB084aSnWMVtfv-hhIWP3mwM9QS6kymK_EhNBH4MM9b2sSHegshIarHMEU2J42gck5ij1ImS_4zgKYqMyg9POlCeULqCRQElta1Sa0/?imgmax=800" width="163" height="338"></a> Ellenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11487080489337512784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7560573932418776691.post-83895468845968939342012-01-13T05:38:00.001-08:002012-01-13T05:40:11.010-08:00Spurgeon's Devotional Job 36:2 "I have yet to speak on God's behalf."<div class="wlWriterHeaderFooter" style="float:none; margin:0px; padding:4px 0px 4px 0px;"><iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/widgets/like.php?href=http://mlockhartfam.blogspot.com/2012/01/spurgeon-devotional-job-362-have-yet-to.html" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; width:450px; height:80px"></iframe></div><p><b>01/12/PM</b> <p><font size="3"><strong><em>"I have yet to speak on God's behalf." <br>--Job 36:2</em></strong></font> <p><font size="3">A Christian is not to be a village in a valley, but "a city set upon a hill;" he is not to be a candle under a bushel, but a candle in a candlestick, giving light to all.

I have personally read this book and personally know these people. You won’t be disappointed in their story! A true story of courage and faith, leaving the Amish life behind to find Truth, peace, and real freedom in Christ in spite of being excommunicated and severely shunned. <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/2MqL7MyhYJs" style="height: 342px; width: 557px;" width="640"></iframe> </div>

It does not matter that we could not meet on the 25th. What matters is that we could meet. We all met on Saturday, the 17th because that worked for all of our schedules. The day included lunch, games, devotions, gift exchange, and the highlight – skyping with Jeremy and Esther!<br />

<b>Joy to the world, the Lord is come! Let earth receive her King;</b></h4>
<h4>
<b>Let every heart prepare Him room, And Heaven and nature sing,</b></h4>
<h4>
<b>And Heaven and nature sing, And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing.</b></h4>
<h4>
<b>Joy to the world, the Savior reigns! Let men their songs employ;</b></h4>
<h4>
<b>While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains Repeat the sounding joy,</b></h4>
<h4>
<b>Repeat the sounding joy, Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy.</b></h4>
<h4>
<b>No more let sins and sorrows grow, Nor thorns infest the ground;</b></h4>
<h4>
<b>He comes to make His blessings flow Far as the curse is found,</b></h4>
<h4>
<b>Far as the curse is found, Far as, far as, the curse is found.</b></h4>
<h4>
<b>He rules the world with truth and grace, And makes the nations prove</b></h4>
<h4>
<b>The glories of His righteousness, And wonders of His love,</b></h4>
<h4>
<b>And wonders of His love, And wonders, wonders, of His love.</b></h4>

<h4>
<b>And God sent us salvation That blessèd Christmas morn.</b></h4>

Below you can see some of our pictures. A favorite present was the Daniel Boone costumes that I made for three of our grandsons which included a coon skin cap. They kept those outfits on the rest of the day. It made their day and mine too! <br />

Last Thursday was the day for our three Brazilian students and friends who are attending <a href="http://www.ambassadors.edu/" target="_blank">Ambassador Baptist College</a> to fly home for Christmas. They so graciously consented to taking another <b><u>loaded</u></b> suitcase, full of Christmas presents and other items, to our son and daughter-in-law who are <a href="http://lockhartlifeinbrazil.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">missionaries in Brazil</a>. It was nearly 5 pm and I had been thinking about them throughout the day and praying for a safe flight and for the extra suitcase to get there without any problems going through customs. A text came through on my phone which said, PRAY – they will not let us check the suitcase – embargo in Brasilia. Oh me. I called and texted everyone I could and asked them to pray. We heard from them again – no, they could not take the suitcase. Someone needed to pick it up right away. Well, we live over an hour away from the airport and they were supposed to board their plane in an hour! My husband jumped in the car and took off, but to no avail. It was 5:00 and although Shelby, NC is a small town, traffic still does get bad at 5:00. So he is stuck and they are stuck. After talking again, it was decided that the suitcase would be left in an inconspicuous place where he could perhaps find it when he go there. But you all know that is a <b>NO NO</b> in this day when you are flying. The security guard saw that the suitcase was being left and warned that if they left it they would come after them. My husband was called again and asked, don’t you know of anyone in Charlotte that could pick up the suitcase. Time was running out, the lines were long and they needed to board. We did know a family in Charlotte, but they didn’t exactly live close to the airport. My husband called them anyway and asked, what are you up to? Answer: I am going to visit someone near the airport Can you believe it? The Lord had already taken care of this for us. In ten minutes he was at the airport and had our suitcase in his back seat. This was our answer to prayer. Well, we were disappointed that the suitcase was not able to make it to Brazil, but we were quite surprised that our three friends managed to clean a ton of stuff out of the suitcase and cram it into their carry-ons. They arrived safely in Brazil and delivered the items to my son. My son was naming the items to me that he received out of the suitcase as I followed along a list I had made of all the items. It was unbelievable! I kept asking him, you got that? and you got that? I never would have dreamed that they could have fit that much extra “stuff” in their suitcases. God is so good and this turned out to be a blessing in that we did not have to pay for the extra suitcase and they were still able to get many of their Christmas presents. The other items are in safe hands until we can make arrangements to pick it up. How very grateful we are to our friends who worked hard at “saving” our stuff. It was a whole lot of extra stress on them, yet they were as concerned about us and they were about getting themselves on the plane and safely home. How blessed we are! God is so good and merciful! We don’t know why God allowed it to be this way, but He knows what is best. He took care of everyone, blessed us with wonderful, giving friends, and even cared about all the little material things that we were trying to get to our loved ones.

<br />
<br />
Last Friday my husband's Sunday School Class came for a Christmas Party. We had fun making snowman candles, playing games, eating pizza and treats, playing a gift exchange game, and having a devotion from God's Word.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixZMlhvgzyI0ORAaOeUAFoa5520zWOiepwA1xBcsq0vtiLycLR8EO0Rcv9sxBtfhdSFGF0ZPLCW_p3gW56L42XJE26cu9LqO9ElN0sJn6ohHJzfd_q6k58wUq3m8hVXFYaKKFG8aNH/s1600/Christmas.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="308" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixZMlhvgzyI0ORAaOeUAFoa5520zWOiepwA1xBcsq0vtiLycLR8EO0Rcv9sxBtfhdSFGF0ZPLCW_p3gW56L42XJE26cu9LqO9ElN0sJn6ohHJzfd_q6k58wUq3m8hVXFYaKKFG8aNH/s400/Christmas.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Our devotions included the following points:</span></div>
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>Christmas is a time to give, but also </li>
<ul>
<li>a time to think about "the gift" (Jesus)</li>
</ul>
<ul><ul>
<li>the best gift - the most valuable </li>
<li>the most needed gift -<i><b> 1 John 5:12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.</b></i></li>
<li>the most enduring <i><b>John 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.</b></i></li>
</ul>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Jesus gave to the undeserving - ungodly <i><b>Romans 5:6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.</b></i></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Jesus gave to His enemies <i><b>Colossians 1:21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled</b></i></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>We are unable to repay Him for this gift. (Rom 5:6)</li>
</ul>
<li> We ought to give as God gave</li>
<ul>
<li>Not grudgingly - <i><b>2 Corinthians 9:7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.</b></i></li>
<li>not to be seen of men -<i><b> Matthew 6:1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.</b></i></li>
<li>not to those we hope to receive back from</li>
<li>but to those in need</li>
<li>Just thinking or even talking about it does not meet the need, or imitate Christ - <i><b>James 2:16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?</b></i></li>
</ul>
</ol>

Sometimes I wonder what happened in their past to make them the way they are today. I don’t want anyone to get the wrong idea. My parents are great people and they are great parents. Sometimes they might be a little too great. They worry about everything. They worry when I drive my car anywhere. They worry whenever they can’t physically see me. They are just paranoid about something happening to me. All my friends call us the </font><a href="http://www.homesecurityfamily.com/"><font size="3">HomeSecurity Family</font></a><font size="3"> because of the way my parents act. I can’t really defend that title because I can completely understand it. My parents are so worried about something bad happening that they do everything in their power to prevent it. While I do always feel safe, I am not sure it is worth it. I am not saying it is a bad thing to try and prevent the bad, but at what point does it become a hindrance instead of a help?</font></p> Ellenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11487080489337512784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7560573932418776691.post-64182494481364286202011-11-21T14:20:00.001-08:002011-11-21T14:24:33.706-08:00November Missions Conference<span style="font-size: medium;">We just ended our missions conference for this fall. What a blessed time it was! This year we had five families from five different churches. The special thing about each of these churches is that each one was planted by our very own church, <a href="http://www.mbcshelby.org/index.html" target="_blank"><b>Maranatha Baptist Church of Shelby, NC</b></a><b>.</b> What a thrill it was to hear reports from each church, to see how the Lord has so richly blessed, to hear many stories of souls being saved! God is so good!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">The first church we helped to plant is </span><b><a href="http://www.ebcofkeenenh.org/EBC_Website/Welcome.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: medium;">Emmanuel Baptist Church</span></a></b><span style="font-size: medium;"><b> </b>in Keene, NH. Unfortunately, I do not have a picture of the Maxwell family. They are the church planters and have been there for seven years now.</span><br />
