Pentecostal Moment!!!

YOU MIGHT BE PENTECOSTAL IF…

In the middle of a church ⛪️ service, your Apple watch ⌚️ asks you if you want to record this indoor run?!?!?! 

Annnnnnnd you might NOT be as spiritual as you should be IF, you accidentally, hit YES!!! 🙌🏾 😂😇

♥Mary Frances :)

My watch may or may NOT have given me an award 🥇 for recording my first indoor RUN at Jubilee this past Sunday!! 🤫 

Happy Monday!!!

Happy Sunday!!!

There is no greater than hate the hate of the devil 😈 to destroy your soul and keep you from your savior and yet, no greater love than the love of a God willing to die for the redemption of your soul from an eternity in hell, to be with Him forever in heaven!!! 💕

Happy National PBJ Day!!!

Yes- NATIONAL PBJ DAY-  

It’s a real thing and well, it should be!!!

And Reese’s just came out with something to try on this day…

These funky foodie things are just a lure to my food adventure ways!!! I looooooove stuff like this!!! Have you ever tried the PBJ BURGER 🍔???
.

When I saw these at Safeway, amidst my healthyISH grocery shopping, i kneeeeeeeeew I HAD TO TAKE THE TEST

GRAPE 🍇 OR STRAWBERRY 🍓 ???

🍇🍓🍇🍓🍇🍓🍇🍓🍇🍓🍇🍓🍇🍓🍇🍓🍇🍓

MY FINAL DECISION….

I can’t decide because…

THEY BOTH NEED MORE JELLY!!!

. 

A very thin layer of jelly that is very much over powered by the rest the peanut butter in the reese’s cup!!! it definitely needed 2x the amount of jelly to really get a taste 👅 for an actual PBJ reeses!!!! Come on reese’s, if you’re gonna do a PBJ do it RIGHT!!! Jelly should be oozing out!!!

So she was alive and I was like, MOM, I thought you died! And she was like, no! I'm like, we even had you creamated! She's like, Uh huh! That's what they want you to think so they can get your money!!!! Ask them what the ashes REALLY are!!! 

.

She's all, you know what YOU SHOULD DO, is take those "ASHES" you paid for and tell them you want a REFUND!!!

Seriousley, that is sooooooo a MOMMISH dream!!! She was ALWAYS having me return stuff to the store for, even toilet paper once, she was like, Mary, I was looking at the receipt that is THE MOST EXPENSIVE toilet paper, return it!!!  AHAHAHA!!! I'm sure IF it were possible, my mom WOULD have me get a refund on her creamation!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! That was a funny dream!!! I LOOOOOOVE MY MOM!!!

BIBLE READING CHALLENGE: Find cool, fun, beautiful, lovely, adventurous places to read your Bible and take picture there with your Bible! You don’t have to be in it, just your Bible and the place!!! and if you like to share it with me email me at maryfranceswriting@gmail.come or if you have my number text it to me!!! I’d love to see it!!! 

.

Years ago, Brother Lackey preached a message at our church ⛪️ about reading the Bible and he said to drink your favorite drink while reading the Bible and then your mind will begin to connect that drink to reading God’s word! I think the same thing could be done with our favorite place to go and things we love to do!!!!
