But most of all, He loved me enough to come to this earth, even if I was the only person ever on earth; to take the form of a man, live a sinless life, yet be crucified unfairly; take MY place of condemnation, and pay the death penalty for MY sins and for all those who accept this: the FREE gift of salvation through Jesus Christ. (John 3:16-20, Romans 3:23, 6:23, 5:8, and 10:9,10, and 13)

Where have I been?

Actually, I have been blogging. A LOT. This blog was my first, therefore I have warmest feeling for it...and don't want to delete it. I still plan to use it as a diary of sorts..a real blog one might say.

However..for now, my time has been consumed by my other two large and growing blogs - http://ifbkjv.com/ and http://couponnewbie.com/. Drop in and visit me there! :)

IFBKJV is for articles, blogs on any topic by other independent fundamental baptists, KJV devotionals, sermons, outlines and baptist quotes and quips. It started as a blogroll, and then grew to various other ministry areas.

Coupon Newbie is a journal of how I am saving money through couponing, freebies, giveaways, Swagbucks, budget meals, my low cost natural foods recipes, inspirational frugal tips, advice, quotes, Bible verses, and then I also have a new blogroll there for frugal/simple living blogs. A girl's gotta keep busy! ;D
