Politics and Ingredients

Not only does this woman have a funny name, she's also President of the League of Women Voters of California. Go JJ.


Guess what this is! (i know, it's really hard - i'll post the answer later)


An even MORE funny name! Who ever said reading the voter's general election packet was a waste of time?!?


ps: i actually did vote and i don't remember at the moment what i voted on these propositions, or even what they stood for, for that matter. Maybe i'll look them up when i post the answer to my clue game. Either way ALL of the propositions were defeated this election. Yay politics!

Excuse me, where is literacy night?


here.

two am, but i need this

-i do not understand what i do. For what i want to do i do not do, but what i hate i do. And if i do what i do not want to do, i agree that the law is good. As it is, it is no longer i myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. i know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For i have the desire to do what is good, but i cannot carry it out. For what i do is not the good i want to do; no, the evil i do not what to do--this i keep on doing. Now if i do what i do not want to do, it is no longer i who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
-So i find this law at work: when i want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being i delight in God's law; but i see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members. What a wretched man i am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God--through Jesus Christ our Lord!
-So then, i myself in my mind am a slave to God's law, but in the sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.
