Don’t Forget The Map!

Don’t Forget The Map! By Bea Edwards Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You. Psalm 119:11 NKJV Sometimes I wish I had been born in the days when there were pirates, so I could sail with them to search for buried treasure. Imagine you are a pirate. With the sun on your back and the wind in your hair, you sail to a deserted island, somewhere in the middle of the ocean. Jump off the ship and feel the warm sand between your toes. Take a deep breath. Suddenly… you’ve forgotten the most important part of your journey–THE MAP! Without it, there is no treasure. Without your map, you are unable to get back home.

By Bea Edwards Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. Psalm 119:105 NKJV Don’t you love sandwiches? They are so easy to fix. You’ve heard of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and cheese sandwiches, but have you ever heard of wish meat sandwiches? When my daughter was younger she loved an afternoon snack of a sandwich and a glass of milk. One particular afternoon I hadn’t gone to the grocery store and we were a little low on food. She jumped off the bus eager for her snack. She took one bite of her sandwich and yelled, “Ewe! What is this?” “It’s a wish meat sandwich.” I replied. Take two pieces of bread, a sliced tomato, and potato chips. Place the tomatoes and chips (yes, chips too) between the bread and enjoy. Why the name...
