Abundant Life

Teaching: The eight Administrations in Scripture: How God changed the rules (Dispensationalism) – Part One

Every Sunday I provide videos and valuable links to the Truth or Tradition teachings. We’ve been following the Truth or Tradition teachings for many years now and they have truly blessed our family. We have found peace and happiness through our beliefs and we walk confidently for God. My hope, by passing on this information to you, is that what you find here, or on the Truth or Tradition website, will guide you to a better, more blessed and abundant life.

If you would like to read my views on religion and how we got started with the ministry, you can read this.

Pay attention to this: You get this, you understand the BIBLE. No joke. It’s KEY.

Let’s get started:

Thanks for watching.

2011 Year-in-Review

Here is a pictorial walk through our 2011 …

JANUARY

Stomach Staples

I know. What a way to start this off … but this is how I started 2011 – with staples in my stomach. I spent last Christmas in the hospital getting three feet of my intestine cut out of me. My large intestine was so knotted up that I couldn’t, erm, pass anything and it got so bad that I ended up looking six months pregnant and feeling like I was going to literally explode from the pressure. And even though life has gotten back to normal for me, *ahem*, I now have a permanent poochy belly. It’s not as bad as it was right after my surgery, but it’s still there. I’m going to work on getting rid of it now that I’m feeling the urge to get back into shape.

Christmas 2011 – His Family

I’m busy getting my house back in order (the Christmas tree is nearly gone … *sad face*) and I took advantage of my “alone” time to make another audio post. Dude and Jazz are hanging out with their cousins (hopefully they’re coming home soon. I’m not telling them what time to come home … they can make that decision on their own) and Kevin is outside taking down our outside lights. (It’s 60 degrees today, ya’ll! What?! This time of year?? Exactly).

Anyway. I hope these audio posts aren’t too annoying. I like doing them because they’re easy and fast and well … that about sums me up.

I’m thinking that came out wrong?

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

At the Moment

Quick Thoughts …

I had to sleep sitting up in a recliner last night. My sinuses hate this yo-yo weather. It’s supposed to be sunny and close to 60 degrees today, OVER 60 degrees tomorrow.

I guarantee it will be back in the 20’s next week. Such is our Missouri weather.

I’m so glad today is Friday. Why are short weeks SO LOOOOONG?!?

There is a lot of drama at my job. Not from patients, doctors or nurses, but from the people I work the most closely with. I was prepared for this, for what can you expect from an office full of women?

Still. It reinforces the reason why I have never had a lot of female friends over the years – I just don’t have the patience required to deal with it.

The shine is starting to wear off this new job. I still like doing it, but it’s A LOT of work for the small amount I’m making every hour. Still. There are the benefits and I suppose if we’re all honest with each other, that’s basically what we’re working for nowadays.

I’m starting to get sick of our Christmas tree. Yes. It’s still up. But it’s coming down tomorrow. I HAVE to get this house cleaned – I’ve had so little energy this week. And we HAVE to start seriously thinking about this new construction project that is coming very soon.

Oh right. I’ve never told you guys about that. I will. Patience, my friends.

Enjoy your day. I’m looking forward to 5 o’clock.
