There Is No Greater Love

Christ on the Cross

Thiele, Artist

Last week we talked about how man is born in sin. From one man’s disobedience whose name is Adam: sin is passed on to every man that is born. This fact is beyond you and me. We can not help that we’re born in sin. God made us, the human race to have a free will. Just like Adam’s choice in the garden affects us today so do a parent’s choice affects their children. Its not God’s fault we choose to go one way or the other. God does not want to control us, he wants us only to love him freely. He wanted it to be our choice. Just like you choose to read this.(I thank you!) In the end only the people that choose God now will end up with God. We are making that choice everyday. God wants to guide us, but how many kids when they are born really want to listen to their parents? Most parents care about their children. Parents want to see their children succeed in life. I’m a parent, I want my children to be safe from harm. I love my children, and there is nothing I would not give them to prosper them to the end. The same holds true for God the Father. (Luke 12:32) “Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” But God saw that we needed help because the same word that condemned the devil is the same that passed judge on us as well. (Romans 6:23) “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” But, in that same scripture we find hope and that hope is in Jesus Christ the son of the living God. (John 3:16-17) ” For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.” If you believe in Jesus Christ; meaning, he died for your sins. You will not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 14:15) “If ye(you) love me, keep my commandments.” Commandments, everything Jesus says in the New Testament on how to live and what he wants us to do as christians. God did not send his Son to condemn us in sin, but to save us from sin. (Romans 5:8) ” But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. He died for us, so that we might have everlasting life. God loves us so much he gave us his Son, and his Son, Jesus Christ loves us because he gave his life for us. There is no greater love.

Hank’s Haute Dogs, haute dogs? Yeah that’s right haute dogs! Well my daughter was the one who suggested we go to this place which some friends of our’s took her once before.

Hank's Cheeseburger and Fries

Hank’s Cheeseburger and Fries

I tell you what, this is a good place to go and get a burger! I’m serious, their hanksburgers are hand made and these bad boys are juicy and delicious. I know this is a hotdog place and they have a great assortment of hotdogs but their burgers are da bomb! They’re not huge over sized burgers with no taste these burgers are pound for pound champs. I order mines with cheese and when I bite into it…”forget about it” (Italian voice). That burger is what’s happening! Now, let’s talk about their haute dogs the last time I went there I ordered the hank’s burger and a “Fatboy”. The Fatboy is a haute dog wrapped in bacon and served with  lettuce, tomatoes and some other stuff. Like I said before I’m not like other food blogs. I don’t have a picture sometimes because I’m living in the moment. But, I will definitely tell you what my stomach says. And my stomach says this is a regular place. Meaning this is a place you put on your favorite’s and you go and eat-out at this place regularly. Oh yeah and the Hibiscus Lemonade will send you dancing in the streets, it’s that good! But getting back to their haute dogs they got a whole line up, my daughter loves their chili cheese dog and my wife enjoyed the lobster dog. Now, all these things are great but I have a surprise I would like to share with you, Hank’s Haute Dog have “Vanilla Creme Brulee”!

The Annoying Frog

Comic Strip of the Week

Shark bait

Sometimes it’s just better to get your seafood from the frozen food aisle. Rather than becoming shark bait.

Thank you reading.  Have a great week!
