LUKE'S LOCKER | SPRING 2014

Remember back in January when Luke's Locker asked me to come in and try on (check out the post here!) some of their winter 2014 collections?! Well, thanks to you guys (my awesome readers) and the feedback they got they asked me to come back and thumb-through and try on some of the fun and colorful new spring lines!

If you live near a Luke's Locker and you haven't already been in for a visit, it's time to make the trip!

You must check out their training and events,  especially if you are a runner. 

Now, if you follow the blog, you know I am not a runner, not even by any stretch of the imagination! I am a yogi any day of the week - so you should not be looking at my 'form' while I 'trot' around the packing lot, but rather at the cool clothes I got to try on and enjoy for the morning!  :)

Most of the pieces below are available in the online shop. 

if its not, be sure to run over to a luke's locker closest to your before things sell out....

THE JOSHUA CODE | WEEK 16

We are on week 15 of the JOSHUA CODE - but if you want to catch up on the first few verses you can do so by going back a few weeks in the blog and looking for the same image as above! 

take it one verse at a time, or feel free to just pick it up with us this week!

Here is last weeks and this weeks verses:

w e e k -   s i x t e e n  

"Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; 

But happy is he who keeps the law."

p r o v e r b s  2 9 : 1 8 

. . . 

VISION IS VITAL 

VISION BRINGS DEFINITION

VISION BRINGS DESIGN 

VISION BRINGS DYNAMIC

VISION BRINGS DIRECTION

VISION BRINGS DEPENDENCE 

. . .

'As you memorize this verse this week, meditate on the fact that the birth of a vision does not just happen. It must be conceived in the secret place alone with God, then gestated - prayed over and contemplated upon - until it is birthed. "Where there is no vision, the people perish" (Proverbs 29:19 KJV). Develop your own vision of what it is God wants you to be and do. It will being when it is conceived in the secret place with Him. 

Then, after a period of spiritual gestation, it will be birthed!'

(The Joshua Code, pg. 94).

. . . 

I pray that you continue to come back to the blog for the weekly verses as we learn and memorize scripture verses together and grow in faith and love together!

SHIDLER, AMERICA

Y'all. You heard me right, I'm bustin' out the 'y'all' today for this post. 

It's necessary. 

Last week while at the ranch, we met up with SP's best friend and his wife, the very same darling couple we hit the slopes with this year. 

On our way to dinner, I pointed out that there was a 'sign' for a bar in the small town we passed through leaving the ranch. In Shidler, America there is a new 'bar' - marked by a pallet with purple spray paint: 

R E D N E C K S   &   R H I N E S T O N E S

So while at dinner, we decided we would give the ol' bar a try. 

Y'all: with us there were a total of 10 people in the bar. 

Including the owner, who brings his two dogs into the bar with him. 

There was a Jukebox - a pricey one at that, $0.50 per song!

And $2.50 cold beers- the only drink of choice. 

Two pool tables, $0.75 per game. 

And of course smoking allowed.

Here is a little peak into the bar.. I know, it looks so crowded, right?!

SP and I ran the table a few times- yeah, we're good like that!

The owners sweet yellow lab : guarding the bar.

But really just taking any of the 'lovins' he can get!

So, y'all, as you can tell Shilder, America is hoppin' and packin in the crowds on a Friday night. 

Not sure we will be back, but sure can say we had a large time!

THE JOSHUA CODE | WEEK 15

We are on week 15 of the JOSHUA CODE - but if you want to catch up on the first few verses you can do so by going back a few weeks in the blog and looking for the same image as above! 

take it one verse at a time, or feel free to just pick it up with us this week!

Here is last weeks and this weeks verses:

w e e k -   f i f t e e n 

"All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, 

and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, 

for correction, for instruction in righteousness."

2  t i m o t h y  3 : 1 6 

. . . 

THE BIBLE: GOD'S INSPIRED WORD 

THE DEFINED EXTENT OF AN INSPIRED BIBLE :  'All Scripture... '

THE DETAILED EVIDENCE OF AN INSPIRED BIBLE : 'given by inspiration of God'

THE DIVINE EFFECT OF AN INSPIRED BIBLE : 'is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, 

for instruction in righteousness.' 

. . .

An effective ministry of God's Word will do all four: 

teach doctrine

reprove sin

correct false path

and instruct in godly living. 

Balance of these four is the key. An effective Christian life is a balanced life. 

'As you memorize this verse, meditate on the fact that, when you study the Bible, you do not judge it; it judges you. God's Word has withstood the test of time and will still be the Book of all books when all others have passed into obscurity. 

No wonder the psalmist said: "Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You" (Psalm 119:11).'

(The Joshua Code, pg. 84).

ROUND TOP | SPRING 2014

Twice a year there is a massive gather. a gathering of junkers, collectors, junk gypsies and diggers alike in Round Top, Texas. 

Have you been or heard of this heaven before?! 

If you are a 'junker' and have thought of going, but have not taken the leap... its time. 

Mark your calendars for the fall 2014 show, book your stay and make your way there. You will not be disappointed. Trust me. 

Personally I like to find the best deal in town. And by town, I mean in on of the many fields, where there is junk as far as the eyes can see. 

Digging and bargaining for the 'one of a kind' treasure is what its all about! 

It's also about the fellow junk gypsies you will meet and come to love, and run into year after year. 

But it's also about the down time. 

Literally. Down time. There is spotty cell phone reception, if any!

I like getting away for the weekend with girl friends, staying at the coziest of bed and breakfast', walking for miles to see, touch and smell as much junk as you possibly can, and coming back for drinks, dinner and camaraderie until you can't keep your eyes open anymore!

THE JOSHUA CODE | WEEK 14

We are on week 14 of the JOSHUA CODE - but if you want to catch up on the first few verses you can do so by going back a few weeks in the blog and looking for the same image as above!

Here is last weeks and this weeks verses:

w e e k -   f o u r t e e n

"From the time Jesus began to preach and to say, 

'Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand'."

m a t t h e w   4 : 1 7

. . . 

THE FORGOTTEN WORD IN OUR CHRISTIAN VOCABULARY

JESUS' PERSONAL MANDATE COMMANDS IT :  'Repent'

JESUS' POSITIVE MOTIVE COMMENDS IT : 'for the kingdom of heaven is at hand' 

"....as the Bible says, His goodness 'leads [us] to repentance'."

. . .

'As you memorize this verse, meditate on what repentance is not... and then on what it is. Remember that is is the goodness of God that takes you by the hand and leads you to repentance.'

(The Joshua Code, pg. 84).
