LIFE MORE ABUNDANTLY


John 10:10 says that Jesus came that I might have life, and that I might have it more abundantly. A few years ago, I was leaning into this particular Scripture, on this day. And I won $2700. Yeah. I had played the number 1050. Was gonna play 1010, but it had sold out. "The whole route," ha. Nah. I really did win. I was playing the numbers back then. Won tons of money. Thousands. Not like some, but I would venture to say probably between $7K - $10K. That's a pretty decent amount. Who knows how much I've spent. But I was playing a lot. Since then, I've come to my senses and follow God's way which is available to all: seedtime and harvest. Sow seeds, reap a harvest. By the way, the equipment I've won lately (a $1.3K iColor 350 printer, a $3.5K c-711 WT printer and a SG500), totaling over $5K is nothing to sneeze at, and I have the potential to earn goo-gobs of money. So, yeah, the more abundant life is staring me right in the face. 

HEALTH

One of the main ways I'm tapping into living life more abundantly is by exercising, from home, on Zoom with some of my church fam and friends. Yeah, I had hopped on FB one day, and asked who would like to join me, as I started exercising from home, again. I had done so with some walking videos with Leslie Sansone, but I didn't stick with it. 

Me being a foodie, physical exercise is mandatory. It's a must! I started getting back in shape, this go 'round because I had started doing Instacart back in Mid-March, when Covid-19 hit hard, and there were restrictions. The whole nation (pretty much the world) was on lockdown. Me, that was my cue to be out and about.

Happy 50th Anniversary  (Love Gospel Assembly) On October 1, I opened my Bible, one of the ones I hadn't used for awhile. It automatically opened up to Luke 4. I went right to Luke 4:18, as that had been the Scripture I had gotten well acquainted with back in the early 90s because I was charged by the late, great Bishop Gerald Julius Kaufman with the task of transcribing a 6-cassette sermon series (that shows how long ago that was - when have you last seen a cassette tape?) It was the wee hours of the morning, yet I texted Pastor Lillian Gutierrez because she and I had worked feverishly in the summer of 1990 to compile what became Dr. Kaufman's thesis (God is Not the God of Poverty but He is the God of the Poor) for his doctoral dissertation for his Ph,D. which also became the book pictured above, The God of the Poor. Bishop Kaufman passed in 1997, RIP, Bishop. Miss you.

Connecting the Dots

Connecting the Dots Things seem to be coming together in my life, finally. It's taken a long and meandering journey. But I  honestly believe I am on point with the plans and purposes of God for my life. So, I'm good. Things are coming into alignment, and things are falling into place. Order is ensuing in my life. I have exerted the necessary effort to bring more order to my life, based on the leading, kindness, guidance and love of God. I sense His direction, moment by moment and step by step, of how to bring order to my life. First it was with my room, what color to color it. No, it wasn't like God told me which color to pick. But there was a color that was running over my heart, so to speak, and I chose that one, teal and aqua. So I began in the summer with painting my dresser, then table, then other dresser, wall by wall, and there's still more to be done, and Michael put up some shelves. So, things are nicely taking shape.  Even   the simple things matter. Like here

WORK FROM HOME

 WORK FROM HOME Over the past three years, I've come to know quite a bit about SUBLIMATION. To the point where I'm able to make decorate items such as blank coffee mugs, coasters, canvas, flip flops, puzzles, masks and so much more FROM HOME.  I became interested when I found out about a lady named Cheryl Kuchek who was doing sublimation, and had a Facebook group which I joined, Sublimation for Beginners and Beyond. Beginners? Shoot, I didn't even know what sublimation was. I've been on the prowl for the past decade, trying to figure out a way to earn money, so I could support myself as I look after my mom, as she ages. I've been doing it since June of 2010. So, it's over a decade now. I've done soooooooooooo much research, and have been down one trail after another after another after another. I put up a website, many years ago. It was about working from home, as a caregiver, but the caregiver part of it is kinda sad, so I didn't want to drain myself by
