They\u2019re still grounds!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Was it freewill that brings us to live where this is Spring time?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Psalm 121:7<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lord will keep you from all evil; he will keep your life.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

John 17:15<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am not asking you to take them out of the world, but I ask you to protect them from the evil one.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Words of Grace For Today<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coffee Grounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coffee is wonderful, without power the choice every morning is a French Press.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can\u2019t do milk, so Silk in the coffee mellows the acids, cools it a tad, and makes a smooth, slightly sweetened hot boost to the morning, though not as much when I could drink caffeine and still sleep well at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wonderful morning still, mostly decafe, a bit of the full power stuff, a small boost but still wonderful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then there are the grounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What a mess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try getting them out of the press\u2019 screen using little to no water. Impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then if I use water it cannot be sent down the drain and where to then?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I use a paper filter, which helps with the screen, but not completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The grounds still need to be rinsed out (or wiped out, but what a mess trying that is!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And where to put all that water. Plastic bags to be emptied on to the ground is best. Still a labour-after-the-gotta-love-that-jo!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

God probably has stories like that involving forgiving and cleansing our hearts. What a delight that people can love. Gave \u2018em freewill to make it possible. But oh, what a headache cleaning up their choices not to love!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And no matter what kind of things you provide to make the clean up easier, they always find a way to make it so messy it\u2019s just unbelievable! Or, since it\u2019s God, not so unbelievable as rather<\/p>\n\n\n\n

planned for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank God for that, or we\u2019d all be sunk in our own sin all the time, and our only salvation would be to be out of this world away from freewill, sin, and, then of necessity, love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or stay in the world and lose freewill, which would make us no more than bi-ped, smart but stupid animals, eh?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On we go, freewilled, sinning, and saved, into this new day, trying to return God\u2019s gifts by sharing them with others, as fine or coarse as it may turn out to be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
