NFY

We need a new button, t-shirt, bumper sticker, or cap that reads...NFY! It stands for Not Finished Yet!
Regardless of the label people put on you (senior, baby-boomer, retired person), regardless of the number of birthdays you've celebrated, you are still here. And as long as you are here, you are not there, and as long as you are not there, it means God still has a purpose for you here.
When Jesus was on the cross, the last thing He said was, "It is finished." After He made that statement He died. When is God's purpose for you on this earth finished? It is finished when you die... until then, you are not finished yet! NFY!
Does the thought of getting older discourage you or make you fearful? Consider these words the Lord spoke to Isaiah: I will be your God throughout your lifetime--until your hair is white with age. I made you, and I will care for you. Isaiah 46:4 NLT

Cheese Taco Shells

Image
Ya'll, this recipe is so easy and fun! I was so excited to have 'tacos' again! Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Make round piles/areas (I spread it out a little, but don't leave any holes) of shredded cheese. Bake at 350* for 5-10 min. Mine started to get brown around the edges and bubbly in the center. Pull from over and drape over the edge of a pan or wooden spoon or something to give it the taco shell shape. Let cool. Then fill! That's it! So easy! Enjoy!!

Migraines

Did you know that "migraine" does not mean headache? Neither did I, until my husband had an appt. with a Brain Surgeon at Johns Hopkins Hospital in MD. Well, it seems that migraine actually means overload of the senses. In particular, the tasting / food sensor and there are a million - okay, I'm exaggerating - food "triggers". Now what that might mean for most people (me included), when you've eaten too many of these "triggers" then the headache will occur. And since there are other factors involved: tired, energetic, blood sugar, smells, noises, the environment, stress, etc., you really have no idea what will be the proverbial "Straw that broke the camels back". Now in the case of my husband, it's not headaches that I'm talking about but Vertigo. Yep! Yuck! This last episode had him feeling like he was on the Tea Cups ride at the Fair for 7 days straight and couldn't get off! So, where was I going with all of this? I ha
