Passover _ The Last Supper
The Last Supper
Matthew 26: 17 – 25, 27: 1-5
17 On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do you want us to prepare the Passover meal for you?” 18 “As you go into the city,” he told them, “you will see a certain man. Tell him, ‘The Teacher says: My time has come, and I will eat the Passover meal with my disciples at your house.’” 19 So the disciples did as Jesus told them and prepared the Passover meal there. 20 When it was evening, Jesus sat down at the table with the twelve disciples. 21 While they were eating, he said, “I tell you the truth, one of you will betray me.”
22 Greatly distressed, each one asked in turn, “Am I the one, Lord?” 23 He replied, “One of you who has just eaten from this bowl with me will betray me. 24 For the Son of Man must die, as the Scriptures declared long ago. But how terrible it will be for the one who betrays him. It would be far better for that man if he had never been born!” 25 Judas, the one who would betray him, also asked, “Rabbi, am I the one?” And Jesus told him, “You have said it.”
47 And even as Jesus said this, Judas, one of the twelve disciples, arrived with a crowd of men armed with swords and clubs. They had been sent by the leading priests and elders of the people. 48 The traitor, Judas, had given them a prearranged signal: “You will know which one to arrest when I greet him with a kiss.” 49 So Judas came straight to Jesus. “Greetings, Rabbi!” he exclaimed and gave him the kiss. 50 Jesus said, “My friend, go ahead and do what you have come for.”
Chapter 27: 1Very early in the morning the leading priests and the elders of the people met again to lay plans for putting Jesus to death. 2 Then they bound him, led him away, and took him to Pilate, the Roman governor.
3 When Judas, who had betrayed him, realized that Jesus had been condemned to die, he was filled with remorse. So he took the thirty pieces of silver back to the leading priests and the elders. 4 “I have sinned,” he declared, “for I have betrayed an innocent man.”
“What do we care?” they retorted. “That’s your problem.”
5 Then Judas threw the silver coins down in the Temple and went out and hanged himself.
_______________________
Our church did a play this morning of The Last Supper. The part that stood out to me was when Jesus told Judas to go and take care of his business. Jesus knew that Judas had betrayed him and sold him out to the priests for 30 pieces of silver.
In the play today, just before Jesus served the sacraments, he looked at Judas and said “Go now and take care of your business.” Judas knew what he was talking about, and with head hung low he stood to leave. Just as he reached the door, he turned to look at Jesus one last time. The story goes on from there, and we learn that Judas was so filled with remorse for what he did to Jesus, that he hung himself. He committed suicide.
When I saw the way Judas turned to look at Jesus, in the play, I started crying! The tears just fell in buckets! I felt such sadness for Judas. Some might wonder why I would feel that way about Judas, when he betrayed our Lord and Savior!! But, hear me out…..
Judas left that night knowing how he had betrayed Jesus, and he tried to make it right by giving the money back to the priests; who then told him it was too late, and none of their concern. There was nothing Judas could do now. He felt helpless. He felt horrible for what he had done to Jesus. Guilt consumed him so much that he couldn’t take it anymore, and he went out and killed himself.
I think of all the lives that have been taken because the person was told there was nothing left to do. How many people have taken their own lives because of guilt, remorse, pain, suffering, and more.
I think of the lives that satan lied to and told them they had no other way out. That taking their own lives was the only thing left because they would never be able to make right a wrong; or that their life would never get any better.
There was a time in my own life that I felt this kind of despair. I had hurt so many people in my life, that I truly felt the only way to fix all the wrong, was to take the life of the person causing all the pain…ME.
The pain I felt for the pain that I had caused other was more than I could take. The guilt was awful! I truly felt I had been such a disgrace to so many others, that the best way to fix it was to kill myself!
I can relate to Judas, and that’s why my heart hurt for him today. Because what Judas hadn’t realized that was on the very next day, Jesus was about to die for his sins! That Jesus was sent to this earth to die for the awful thing Judas had done to Jesus. Jesus loved Judas even then, so very much that He died for Him! But Judas was too late. He took his own life before He realized all of this. That is when the tears just rolled down my face!
To think of all the lives out there that just didn’t get it before they pulled the trigger, or took that bottle of pills, or kicked the stool away from their feet.
Today, we know the story of Jesus and why He died. We know the story of Judas and how he betrayed Jesus. We know how Judas went out, filled with remorse, and killed himself for what he did. His life ended there. At that very moment.
I pray that if there is anyone reading this that feels this same way, that they have messed up their own lives, or the lives of others, so very much that the only alternative is to commit suicide, I pray right now in the name of Jesus, that you will STOP!! I pray that you will stop and immediately ask Jesus to forgive you! He died for YOU!! He died for your sins! He died to give you life and life more abundantly! He didn’t die for you to take your own life!! Taking your own life is NOT the answer!!! It is a LIE from the enemy!! That will NOT solve everything!! Trust me!
What will solve everything is to accept Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior, so that He can give you LIFE, and life more abundantly…Eternal LIFE with Him!!
It doesn’t matter what you have done! Truthfully, God said that if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Truly, it doesn’t matter what you have done! Don’t let satan try to convince you that your sin is too bad for God to forgive! That is just not true!!! He will forgive you and wipe your slate clean!
Allow Jesus to help you fix the mess you are in. Allow Him to mend what is broken! Allow Him to help fix your marriage; or other relationships that you are in. Allow Him to heal the brokenness inside of you; the pain you are feeling! Allow Him to LOVE YOU!! Love you unconditionally!
On March 23, 1984, I chose to give Jesus my life instead of taking my own life. I am forever grateful to Him for saving me that day! Since then I have seen many things that God has done in my own life, and in the lives of others. I have seen my two daughters grow up and bless me with my grandchildren. I have been blessed with the most amazing husband, and two awesome stepsons, who have also blessed me with even more grandchildren! I have the most amazing TEN grandchildren, that if I had taken my life that day, as I had planned, I would have never had the opportunity to meet and love as much as I do!
There is HOPE! There is always HOPE in Jesus!

Disconnected … Part 2
Well, it’s been nearly 2 weeks now, and we’ve made it this far without television. Oh we’ve watched a movie in the DVR, and that sort of thing, but no television. It’s been awesome! We are finding more and more things to talk about; more dreams to build; more time to study the bible on a deeper level; and just more time to enjoy life! We really should have done this a LONG time ago!!! It’s one of the smartest things we’ve done!
Have you ever “disconnected” like this before? If so, what was your experience like?
Disconnected….
Saturday, I called the Cable Company and told them to disconnect our cable television. The CSR asked me why and I told her that we were getting rid of all of our televisions. She said, “REALLY?? Why????” I told her we were not that into the junk that was on television anymore! That we didn’t want to feed our minds with that kind of nonsense anymore, and had better things in mind for better stuff to concentrate on! Her reply….”Wow! I just don’t think I could ever do that!”
Ever do what? Disconnect yourself from the things in life that are keeping you from fulfilling your dreams; or pursuing a deeper relationship with God; or bettering your marriage? Or how about spending the time that you used to spend on television, with your kids? Or with your friends? Or building a new business?
Or how about feeding your mind with positive CD’s or books; or better yet, attending meetings that leave you feeling like you are important, and worth something? Does television do that for you?? It didn’t for me, and that’s why it’s now disconnected!
When I looked back and realized just how many hours a day I spent watching that black box of stupid, I realized how ridiculous it was to waste so much time on “nothing”! I asked myself “What is this box doing for me? Is it getting me anywhere? Is it producing good results in my life? Is it making me a better person???” I couldn’t answer yes to any of those questions. Neither could my husband when he asked himself the same questions.
So we agreed it was time to disconnect. And we did!
We are now almost one week into our separation from our television. You know what? The cable is turned off, but we still get television. You know what? We don’t care! Yes, we could watch it if we wanted to; but we both realized just how little this black box was contributing to our lives, and we just couldn’t justify spending the kind of money that we did on Cable television, to get nothing out of it! We don’t miss it at all!
I hope this blog today will encourage you to look at the time you spend in front of the little black box; and ask yourself the same questions we did. Is it really contributing to your life in a positive way? If you cannot honestly answer yes to that question, maybe it’s time for you to get disconnected as well, and start connecting to the things that are most important to you!
Disconnect to Stay Connected!

Trusting
Jeremiah 17:7
But blessed are those who trust in the Lord
and have made the Lord their hope and confidence.
I want to talk about “trusting” today. Trusting hasn’t been a very easy thing for me, for most of my life. I’m really not sure why. But I do know that I have struggled for as far back as I can remember.
As an adult, trusting others isn’t very easy. It really has nothing to do about the person, it has everything to do about me; how I “think” others will perceive me.
I always fear that I won’t be able to carry on a decent conversation; or know enough about certain topics that may come up. I struggle with a lot of things, but what triggers the fear of trusting more than anything, is the question that always comes up “will they like me for who I really am”?
All my life, I have always tried to fit in. I remember when I was younger, changing my music likes/dislikes, or things of that nature, to what the other person liked. It was an attempt to be like that person, so they would accept me. I always felt like if I were more like them, they would accept me better. God forbid that someone find out who the true me was!
In high school, I found that I never really fit in anywhere. No matter how hard I tried, I got rejected over and over again. Soon, I found a group that did accept me … the dopers. They “loved” me for who I was. I didn’t have to pretend with them. I could just “BE”!
I didn’t do a lot of drugs when I was younger, but I did do them. As a young adult, I found alcohol. The drunker I got, the more people accepted me … I thought!
The drunker I got, the more the men wanted me. I always thought it was because they truly wanted me; loved me. Only to wake up the next morning, to the same awful scene of finding out that I didn’t matter any more to them, than the man in the moon. They had gotten what they wanted, and that’s all that mattered.
Making friends with women was a true challenge. I found women to be a lot more judgmental than men were. With women, I always had to prove myself. I had to be someone I wasn’t! Women judged me. Women looked down on me, because of my lifestyle, of course. But, why wouldn’t they? I ran with a rough crowd. I slept with anyone; and sometimes with their husbands! I was not to be trusted, at all!
When I finally did find a female friend, I cherished it beyond anything in my life! I have had very few “close” friends! I can count them all on one hand. I can name them….Patty, Laurie, Daphne, Irene. These are the women who know every single thing about me, and they love me anyway! No matter how dirty my life has been, they have loved me anyway! They have accepted me! They have truly accepted me just as I am. I don’t have to pretend with them! I can just be ME!
Of course who I am today, is nowhere near who I was then! THANK GOD!! Wow!! Thank God I am not who I was! Like Joyce Meyer says, “I am not be where I am supposed to be today; but thank God I am not where I used to be!”
There is another person who loves me too. Even more than these women have. Someone who knows even more than these other women know! Someone who knows my inside and outside, my good and my bad. The ugly me. The me who has a temper. The me who can be very impatient! The me that has very high expectations!
This person knows all about my past. All about the drugs; the alcohol; the sexual sins. Every single thing there is to know about me, and more!
His name is Jesus. JESUS. A love that is simply amazing. A love that is unconditional. A love that expects me to just be me, with Him! A love that doesn’t judge me like humans do. A love that doesn’t look at my outer beauty. A love that forgives me when I do wrong. A love that accepts all of my imperfections!
I’ve never known a love like this, until I gave my heart to Jesus. I have struggled and fallen in my walk with Him. It hasn’t been perfect, in any way. But I know without a doubt that He loves me.
In Him, I have truly found my hope, and my confidence!
I am blessed!
Food Dyes Suspected Of Causing Behavioral Problems In Kids
Here is a copy of an article I read today from CBS Chicago Local
February 27, 2012 10:17 PM
An M&M sold in the United States (left) contains food dye that makes it brighter compared to its European counterpart. (CBS)
CHICAGO (CBS) — Is it possible that artificial colors added to our food could be causing behavioral problems in children?
Concerns about synthetic food dyes led many manufacturers in Europe to stop using then. But as CBS 2’s Mary Kay Kleist reports, the dyes are used here in everything from cereal to crackers to toothpaste.
Doctors diagnosed Kendall King with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD, last year and put her on powerful drugs.
But her mother, Kelly King, says, “It just didn’t feel right to me.”
CLICK here TO READ THE REST OF THIS STORY.
_________________
This article really hit home. We have a grandson that was recently diagnosed with ADHD. I am not happy about the medicine they have put him on, and have strongly encouraged my daughter to seek further information on alternative ways to treat ADHD.
Interesting how much research is finding out about food additives and behavioral issues in kids! For those of you who want to take a more natural approach to your cooking, check out Wildtree! It contains no dyes, MSG, or preservatives. I have been cooking with it for over a year now. There are many products to choose from, sauces, marinades, herbs, skillet meals, desserts, breads, gluten-free, and so much more!!!

Resolutions
It’s February. How long did you actually stick to your resolutions this year? Did you make it through the whole month of January? Or was it like every other year, and you quit within 2 weeks into the year?
Maybe the resolutions need to be re-evaluated. Maybe the resolutions should be things that really matter to you, and not just things that want to “try” to attempt. Maybe it’s things that should really count in your life.
I have changed my resolution that I had set at the beginning of the year. I have changed it to “Work on my Character to become a better person.”
It’s been said that Reputation is what others “think” you are; but Character is what you “truly” are.
I want to be known and respected for my Character. I want people to know me as a good, honest, sincere, loving, kind, giving, woman who loves the Lord with all her heart, soul, body, and mind!
I want to be known as someone who keeps my word and never backs out of a promise.
I want to be known as someone who genuinely cares for and about others.
I know I have some work to do. But with the help of the Lord, and His grace, I know that my character can become something worth working so hard to achieve!
How about you? Are there areas of your life that you know need work? Maybe sit down and re-write your resolutions to include those areas. Make it something worth working towards!
The rewards, I’m sure, will be well worth it!
God bless.
Conflict Resolution
I am the first to admit that I am not the best at Conflict Resolution! I’m getting better, but I still have a long way to go yet before I feel like I have mastered this!! Recently, one of my mentors posted a blog about Conflict Resolution, along with some great tips. In that blog, Dan posted this poem:
Lessons for Life
People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centered.
Love them anyway.
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow
Do good anyway.
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.
The biggest person with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest person with the smallest mind.
Think big anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.
People really need help but may attack if you help them.
Help people anyway.
Give the world the best you have and you might get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.– Dr. Kent M. Keith
What is a Leader?
Everyone is called upon to be a leader sometime during the course of their life. Whether its a leader in your home, church, business, community, or wherever, you will be called upon one day to be a leader!
Listen to Chris Brady (Co-Author of “Launching a Leadership Revolution”) bring a dynamic talk on what a true leader really is!
Leadership is about making a difference, small or large, in the moment, or in the future.
Take initiative and become a true LEADER!!
Psalm 66
1 Shout joyful praises to God, all the earth!
2 Sing about the glory of his name!
Tell the world how glorious he is.
3 Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds!
Your enemies cringe before your mighty power.
4 Everything on earth will worship you;
they will sing your praises,
shouting your name in glorious songs.”
5 Come and see what our God has done,
what awesome miracles he performs for people!
6 He made a dry path through the Red Sea,[a]
and his people went across on foot.
There we rejoiced in him.
7 For by his great power he rules forever.
He watches every movement of the nations;
let no rebel rise in defiance.
8 Let the whole world bless our God
and loudly sing his praises.
9 Our lives are in his hands,
and he keeps our feet from stumbling.
10 You have tested us, O God;
you have purified us like silver.
11 You captured us in your net
and laid the burden of slavery on our backs.
12 Then you put a leader over us.[b]
We went through fire and flood,
but you brought us to a place of great abundance.
13 Now I come to your Temple with burnt offerings
to fulfill the vows I made to you—
14 yes, the sacred vows that I made
when I was in deep trouble.
15 That is why I am sacrificing burnt offerings to you—
the best of my rams as a pleasing aroma,
and a sacrifice of bulls and male goats.
16 Come and listen, all you who fear God,
and I will tell you what he did for me.
17 For I cried out to him for help,
praising him as I spoke.
18 If I had not confessed the sin in my heart,
the Lord would not have listened.
19 But God did listen!
He paid attention to my prayer.
20 Praise God, who did not ignore my prayer
or withdraw his unfailing love from me.
Choose Wisely
Colossians 3: 5-10
“Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. Because of these, the wrath of God is coming. You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. But now you must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, ad filthy language from your lips. Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with is practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.”
Colossians 3: 12-16a
“Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive, as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom…”
What will you feed today? sexual sin; impurity; lust; evil desires; greed; hatred; filthy language; rage; anger; malice; slander; lying?
Or will you choose to feed compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience, forgiveness; forgiveness; putting on love and bearing with one another?
Every time you feed something, you keep it alive.
Choose wisely what you will feed on today……
Work It! Work It!
I started a new workout program this week. I am in need of losing some serious weight, so for the first time in my life, I have hired a personal trainer, at SNAP Fitness! It’s been interesting, to say the least!
My first class …. BOMB!! I only made it 20 minutes! I was so out of breath, dizzy, and ready to puke!! I realized just how out of shape I truly am! My body felt like it had been hit by a Mack truck, for three days!! I could barely move!!! LOL
My classes are Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I missed Wednesday! I had to! I couldn’t imagine even doing one single jumping jack, the way my body felt!! The trainer was gone on Friday, so he moved his class to Thursday evening.
I did better Thursday. I make it 45 minutes! I was pretty proud of myself! I’m not even sore from Thursday’s class. It was a different work out where we used more of our upper body, compared to Monday’s class where we worked most of our lower body, stomach, lunges, etc. I am actually looking forward to Monday’s class to see if it’s going to be the same workout that we did last Monday. I hope so. I want to make it longer in this upcoming class, than I did at last Monday’s class. I know within time, it will get easier and easier.
With my weight loss journey, I am also discovering more and more new recipes! And since it has been a while since I’ve shared a recipe here, I would like to share one with you today. That is the basis of this blog anyway, right??

Addicted to Facebook!!
On Sunday, when the Giants played the Packers, I made a deal with my teenaged grandson that if the Packers lost, I would stay off of Facebook for two days. I thought, “Two days! I can do that!! No problem!” Well, I hate to admit this, but it wasn’t as easy as I thought it was going to be. I have come to realize that I am a ………
No kidding! Others who saw what I had agreed to, laughed at me and said that I would never do it. Well, so far it’s 530pm, on day two, and I have 6 1/2 hours to go until I have kept my end of this deal.
Have I been tempted? YES!!!! Many times!!!
Have I cheated? Nope! Not one time!!!
I’ve realized a few things during this time away from Facebook…..
- I SPEND WAY TOO MUCH TIME ON FACEBOOK!!!
- I have a lot more important things to be doing with my time, than wasting it on FB!
- I have cheated myself out of physical relationships because of FB!
- I have cheated myself out of personal time with the Lord, prayer, and reading the bible, because of FB!
- I have cheated myself out of taking care of my home the way it should be taken care of. Granted I do keep a clean home. I’m talking about decluttering, painting, decorating better, and things like that, that I could be doing with my time, besides FB.
- I have also realized that I have a health club membership that I could be utilizing more than I have been!
- I have a business that is sitting there waiting for me to get off my butt and off FB to do more with it!!
- I could be spending more time reading.
- I could be spending more time researching healthier eating, and exercise.
- I could be doing a lot of things to take care of myself physically, instead of sitting on my butt doing NOTHING!!!
I have gained a lot of extra weight over the last 10 years. In the last year, I had gained over 25 extra pounds, on top of the extra weight I had already gained! I hit 225 lbs! I’m 5’4″. That should tell you how bad 225 lbs is!! I’ve been having back problems, hips problems, knee problems, and more….all because I am gaining more and more weight! (I have lost 20 lbs since last summer, but still need to lose a lot more!) There is no reason why I can’t find one hour a day to work out!! It’s nonsense for me to sit here and try to tell you that I “don’t have the time”. That’s just crazy!! I DO HAVE THE TIME!! I HAVE JUST CHOSEN NOT TO USE THAT TIME!!!
Depression sits in because I don’t have other relationships outside of Facebook. Duh, I wonder why that is!! It’s because I am always sitting behind FACEBOOK!!! Not that I haven’t met some amazing people on Facebook, but how many of them can I actually go to lunch with; or go shopping with; or play cards with??? Not too many of them! Some of these friends, I do talk to on the phone, and I think the world of them! But some of them, I know I will never have the opportunity to meet them in person. I enjoy talking to them, but I also have to work on outside relationships with people I can actually physically do something with.
So, this deal that I made with my grandson has been a blessing in a lot of ways! I’m glad I made that deal with him. And yes, I’m glad the Packers lost that day because I wouldn’t have faced the fact that I am truly a Facebook addict, if they had won! So thank You Michael, for agreeing to this deal with me!
I’m off to find something more pressing to take care of.
