Cool Stuff You Have to Have! (OR Not)
Posted on December 09, 2011I came across something today that I thought was interesting. Coins. Not just any coins, though. I have heard of collector’s coins before. Silver coins. Gold coins. Uncirculated coins. Proof sets. The list goes on and on.
One thing I’ve never heard of before, personalized coins. Yes, that’s right, you can buy coins that have just about anything on them. Of course, you can’t spend them. They are obviously for collecting purpose’s only.
I thought for all those genealogy buffs out there it might cool to get your family crest on coins and give them to your family for Christmas gifts or something fun like that.
What are you buying this year for Christmas for your loved ones?
Saving a Penny…
Posted on December 05, 2011Sometimes you get what you pay for. Sometimes you don’t. Let me explain. There are times where it pays to spend more on something. Jewelry, for example. Going from 14K gold to 10K gold isn’t really going to make a huge difference in the look of a piece. The value will go down as will the cost. If you trying to save a little money, it’s an easy way to do so, without really comprising the integrity of your purchase. You’re still getting a nice item. If you have some kind of allergy to cheaper metals, this won’t work for you (my MIL can’t wear anything less than 14K gold).
On the other hand, sometimes you don’t want to buy cheaper jewelry. My husband bought me one of those pretty mother rings from a local retail store and the stones kept falling out. We kept taking it back and they kept replacing them. They didn’t give us any problems about replacing them, but finally I just returned it and got my money back. But for the record, The ring wasn’t that cheap! We spent the same amount you would anywhere else you would buy the same ring! (Okay, maybe not quite as much, but still)…
The point is, some things (flour, sugar, butter, some soups, some jewelry, some pasta, napkins, etc,) you can buy random inexpensive brands or whatever happens to be on sale at the store when you are there. Other things (chocolate, cream soups, certain pastas, eggs, lunch meats, etc) you have certain brands that you buy because they are known to produce a good quality product!
Thanks for stopping by, Catch Ya Later!

If Your New Here…
Posted on November 07, 2011If you are new here and you are wondering what that Romans Road Page is all about up there…
^^^^^^^^ yeah, that one up there ^^^^^^
It’s all about “The Plan Of Salvation”. What? You don’t know that is? Well, I will tell you!
We all are born and we all die right? Easy question….
Most of us wonder what is going to happen to us when we die, right? Another easy question…
Well, the answer to that question is this, we either go to heaven or hell…those are the options, according to the bible.
Heaven = pleasant, happy, fun, blessings, family, food, sunshine, Jesus, God
Hell= unpleasant, sad, no blessings, loneliness, deprivation, satan, evil
Both are for ETERNITY one you are there folks, there are no second chances, once you die, the choice has been made, there is no going back…
This is the thing. You must know Jesus Christ as your personal Savior in order to go to heaven! Plain and simple.
You have to realize you are a sinner (we all are Romans 3:10)…
You have to realize that there is a penalty for that sin (sin always has consequences Romans 6:23)…
You have to accept that Jesus paid that penalty for you (when He died on the cross Romans 5:8-9)…
You have to realize that He is your only way to heaven (you can’t do anything to get yourself there Romans 10:13, Romans 10:9-11 )…
It’s as simple as that.
Most people say a simple prayer, something like: “Dear Jesus, I know I am a sinner. Please forgive of my sins and save me from hell. Take me to heaven some day when I die. Thank You Jesus for what you have done for me. Amen.” Or something along those lines.
The important thing isn’t “what” you say, it’s that you mean it and believe it in your heart, because “saying” a prayer isn’t going to get you to heaven!! You must believe!!!
That, my friends is “The Plan Of Salvation”
Has there been a time in your life that you accepted Christ as your personal Savior? I would urge you not to wait! We aren’t guaranteed another day friends.
Hugs and Prayers
Money Is No Object?!?
Posted on October 12, 2011Do you ever just get online and “window shop”? Just pretend that you’ve got money burning a hole in your pocket? I do that sometimes. I like to pretend that I can have anything I want and money is no object.
If only that were true…
I came across some pretty sweet michael kors watches I wouldn’t mind tucking away in my jewelry box. Although some of them are pretty expensive, they look like they are pretty well made and they do have a free shipping offer!! Might make a nice gift for that special someone in your life??
As always dear friends…
Gifts…
Posted on October 05, 2011I love personalized gifts. Simply love them. Because they are personal. 
They say, “I thought about YOU when I bought this gift.” It’s all fine and good to buy someone a random gift and I’m all for the gift card. There is a time and a place for every gift. but a personalized gift is just…..special.
I like to peruse this one site where you find different kinds of gifts. Everything from personal retirement gift ideas to baby gifts. They have shirts, mugs, golf balls, a little of this and a little of that, it’s great.
Hey! Maybe I’ll find something for the boy for his birthday there!!
Ideas…
Posted on October 04, 2011My hubby’s birthday is coming up and I have been racking my brain trying to come up with inexpensive, but nice birthday gifts for him. He’s kind of hard to buy for. Although, not really. I mean, you buy him something for hunting or fishing and he’s happy.
But, since I know pretty much nothing about either of those, I am like a fish out of water when it comes to finding the right thing for him. Get it, fish out of water, and I was talking about fishing…..okay, so it wasn’t that funny.
But for real peeps, anyone know what I should get the boy for his birthday? Come on, it’s only a few months away. I need some really good ideas!!
Carry on…
Thinking Ahead This Year….
Posted on July 08, 2011I have visions of sugar plumbs dancing in my head already this year…lol
I know it’s early, but when you are on a tight budget you have to spread your spending out as much as you can! And believe you me, we are on a TIGHT budget!!
So, I am already checking into getting something like invitationbox.com christmas photo cards to send out instead of regular Christmas cards. A nice family photo is a nice gift for family you don’t often gt to see because of busy schedules!! A little family letter giving the highlights of your year and a nice photo is just the thing to give your loved ones, I think…
Just an idea…
Narrow Is the Path…
Posted on May 22, 2011THE ROMANS ROAD
If you could have God’s promise that YOU would go right to HEAVEN when you die, would you take it??
Let me show YOU how YOU can have This Promise!!
ALL HAVE SINNED
ROMANS 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no not one.
ROMANS 3:23 For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God.
GOD’S PRICE ON SIN
ROMANS 6:23 A For the wages of sin is death.
THERE ARE TWO DEATHS
REVELATION 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
OUR WAY OUT
ROMANS 5:8-9 But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
GOD’S PERSONAL PROMISE
ROMANS 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Take God at his word and claim His promise for your salvation. Bow your head right now and sincerely ask Jesus Christ to forgive your sins and to save your soul.
Saying a prayer does not save you!! You must believe what the Bible says and mean it in your heart to be saved!!!
ROMANS 10:9-11 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture sayeth, Whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed.
Once you are eternally saved, you are always eternally saved…
HEBREWS 13:5B…for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
If you have read this and accepted Christ as your personal Savior, CONGRATULATIONS on getting that taken care of, you’ll be so glad you did!! Please leave your name in a comment so that I can pray for you !!! And also find yourself a good, Bible (King James) preaching Church where you can grow in your faith!!
Mother’s Day…
Posted on March 18, 2011Takin’ a little poll here…
All my regulars (all three of you, lol), throw me a bone and participate mmmmkk??
How many of you prefer flowers for mothers day?
Would you rather get a box of chocolates or flowers?
Would you rather get a piece of jewelry or flowers?
Would you rather get a gift card to your favorite store or flowers?
I love to get flowers, but they die…I can think of a bunch of other things I would rather get for Mother’s Day or any other occasion for that matter…
Here are a few (in case my hubby reads this)…
-
a pendant for my white gold chain
-
a mother’s ring
-
a gift card to Fashion Bug or Marshall’s to pick out shoes or a handbag or something
-
a nice dinner out with my family
-
smaller diamond earrings for my second hole
Don’t get me wrong, I do like getting flowers, but I would rather get like maybe a small bouquet or a single flower and then something else, too!!!
WOW!
Posted on March 16, 2011Wow, it really is true that you can find ANYTHING online!! I found a site, Personalcreations.com, where you can get just about anything you can think of personalized.
By anything, I mean anything. They have everything from pocket knives to leather beer holsters. You could find the perfect gift!!!
And yes, I am for real, people!! They make leather beer holsters!!! Does that seem strange to anyone else, or just me???
“Witness Wednesday”
Posted on April 21, 2010I have been “witnessing” the same way every time since I started on my blog. Today I thought I would do something a little different. When I was 11 years old, we had an evangelist come to our Church and show us movies about the end times. You know, after Jesus comes back (which HE WILL) what happens to all those left behind. As soon as I saw it, I knew I needed to have Jesus Christ as my Savior!! I wanted nothing to do with what happens after He comes back!!
How you come to Christ isn’t really as important as making sure YOU DO!!! Here are the things you need to realize in order to do just that…I could quote a bunch of scriptures from the Bible to cement the points I am making, but I’m not going to. I’m going to be short and to the point.
1. We are all sinners. Every one of us!!
2. We all deserve hell. Every one of us!!
3. God, the One who made us , loved us so much that He sent His Son to pay that hell debt for us when He died on the cross some 2,000 + years ago, because He was the only one who could!!
4. We have to accept that He is the one and only way to get to heaven. We have to believe in our hearts that only taking Jesus as our Savior can get us to heaven.
Folks, it’s just that easy!! A God who loves us as much as ours wouldn’t make something so important difficult for us to do!!! Church can’t get ya there, baptism can’t get ya there, your good works can’t get ya there, ONLY JESUS can get you to heaven!! IF you believe everything I just told you, please take a moment to repeat this sinners prayer, asking Jesus to take you to heaven some day when you die.
Dear Jesus,
I am a sinner deserving hell. I know you died on the cross, paying my hell debt for me. Please take me to heaven some day when I die. I believe you are my one and only way to get there. Thank you saving me from hell…. Amen
Now, let me clarify, saying this prayer does not get you to heaven, believing it in your heart is what gets you to heaven!! If you have already accepted Christ as your Savior, congratulations!! If you have not or know someone who has not, please take a moment to read this or read it to that someone.
