where there is sin, there is grace

I love passion flowers, they are very common here, but what I love about this one is that it is growing on a barb wire fence. Reminds me of God’s goodness. Where there is danger there is peace. Where there is harshness there is beauty. Where there are fences there is freedom. And where there is sin there is grace.

For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.

The law was added so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more, so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 5:19-21

Another holiday apron give away contest!

September 24, 2008 · by Penny · 52 Comments

You can win a holiday apron from Jumpinbloomers.com

I love give aways! This really Works For Me on Wednesdays! However what doesn’t work for me is trying to track down winners. So we are going to do this a little different. In order to win this you need to do a couple things, first, subscribe to my feed, either through an rss freeder reader, or add your email address to the nifty little subscribe box on the left under my picture. Second you need to visit jumpinbloomers.com and decide me what you would get if you had a free shopping spree. We aren’t giving away a shopping spree but we can dream right? Third come tell me about it in a comment. If you post about this on your blog and link here you may add your name again in a second comment telling me where you posted it. On October 8th we will randomly choose a winner. And I will post about it here on my front page so you need to watch for it. And who knows, we just might pick a second winner for a suprise gift for the ones who post about it on their blog. Ok, that sounds good we will do that. So you could win an apron and/or a surprise gift from jumpinbloomers.com .
