Life Verses #4
Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Make allowance for each other's faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony. And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful.
Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom he gives. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts. And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through him to God the Father.
Colossians 3:12-17

Life Verses #5
"Is anyone thirsty? Come and drink— even if you have no money!Come, take your choice of wine or milk— it's all free!
Why spend your money on food that does not give you strength? Why pay for food that does you no good?Listen to me, and you will eat what is good. You will enjoy the finest food.
"Come to me with your ears wide open. Listen, and you will find life.I will make an everlasting covenant with you. I will give you all the unfailing love I promised to David.
See how I used him to display my power among the peoples. I made him a leader among the nations.
You also will command nations you do not know, and peoples unknown to you will come running to obey,because I, the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, have made you glorious."
Seek the LORD while you can find him. Call on him now while he is near.
Let the wicked change their ways and banish the very thought of doing wrong.Let them turn to the LORD that he may have mercy on them. Yes, turn to our God, for he will forgive generously.
"My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts," says the LORD. "And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.
For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.
"The rain and snow come down from the heavens and stay on the ground to water the earth.They cause the grain to grow, producing seed for the farmer and bread for the hungry.
It is the same with my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit.It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it.
You will live in joy and peace. The mountains and hills will burst into song, and the trees of the field will clap their hands!
Where once there were thorns, cypress trees will grow. Where nettles grew, myrtles will sprout up.These events will bring great honor to the LORD's name; they will be an everlasting sign of his power and love."
Isaiah 55

Life Verses #6
The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship.
Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known.
They speak without a sound or word; their voice is never heard.
Yet their message has gone throughout the earth, and their words to all the world.God has made a home in the heavens for the sun.
It bursts forth like a radiant bridegroom after his wedding. It rejoices like a great athlete eager to run the race.
The sun rises at one end of the heavens and follows its course to the other end. Nothing can hide from its heat.
The instructions of the LORD are perfect, reviving the soul.The decrees of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple.
The commandments of the LORD are right, bringing joy to the heart.The commands of the LORD are clear, giving insight for living.
Reverence for the LORD is pure, lasting forever.The laws of the LORD are true; each one is fair.
They are more desirable than gold, even the finest gold.They are sweeter than honey, even honey dripping from the comb.
They are a warning to your servant, a great reward for those who obey them.
How can I know all the sins lurking in my heart? Cleanse me from these hidden faults.
Keep your servant from deliberate sins! Don't let them control me.Then I will be free of guilt and innocent of great sin.
May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heartbe pleasing to you, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer.
Psalm 19

Life Verses #7
When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God's love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.

pretzels in Nutella.
guacamole makes me sick.
also, nice job on 2 postings in one day!
Thanks.
And.
Guacamole makes you sick? That is just too bad. I will have to eat your share...that is, if I would rather.
This one is difficult for me. I've indulged in both within the last 48 hours.
by "makes me sick" i don't mean i get physically ill when i eat it. i mean, rather, the thought of eating it makes me physically ill.
on that note--i've never actually eaten it.
Guacamole! Limes! Guacamole! Limes! In fact I can smell the limy goodness of guacamole right now. I could eat it every day...Every Day! Now give me some.
I hate pretzels.
I have only ever had guacamole in my mouth once. Somebody else put it there. I cried. Now, I should explain that I WOKE UP to the guacamole being put in my mouth (they were genuinely trying to be nice and thought it would be a nice treat to wake up to), so the tears may have been partially caused by not wanting to wake up and partially caused by the ungodly awful taste in my mouth.
Can I have tortilla chips dipped in nutella??
Eva, the average american eats one pound of pretzels per year. The average Philadelphian eats 20 pounds per year.
I have already eaten...
...probably closer to 20 pounds than 1.
I can't say no to your answer just yet, as I have never tried tortilla chips dipped in nutella.
