Lexus I Am Glad To See You Going Back To More "Lexus Type" Of Advertisement

I was pleasantly surprised to see some recent billboard advertisement for Lexus. I do not know what happened to your advertisement months ago. I think taking the aggressive style in a negative way was not good for your company. Remember, Lexus sells itself on great performance and a most comfortable riding vehicle.Why would you try to change that in regard to advertisement. You are the top why stray from that, your great performing cars sell themselves.

I Highly Recommend The Purchase Of An Electric Pressure Cooker.

I like to keep up with things on the market that people are talking about. Months ago the electric pressure cooker caught my attention. I am very frugal and will not pay what they are asking for the price of one. So, I research and continue to search for one at a good price point. Bingo, I found one. There is a store that purchases buyouts and overflow of other stores. I was at the right place at the right time and I purchased one. The one I purchased is a slow cooker, rice cooker and electric pressure cooker all in one. I am not one to deal with the method of slow cooking. It is great in theory but not practical for my personality. I have not used the rice cooker method yet. You must know that I am a skeptic at first until I use the product and convince myself it really does work and it works well too. I keep thinking of different things to cook in it, each time I am pleasantly surprised.
I attempted as my very first try to make a pot roast. It was delicious. I think I am amazed each time the dish is done and how it really does infuse the flavor while cooking. I like the feature that mine has a browning function. You can do everything in one pot. Pot roast, the meat was tender in 45 minutes and then I added potatoes, carrots and celery for another 13 minutes and it was done. I did make a gravy out the the liquid that the meal cooked in, I was able to make that in the same pot too. What I did was turn on the browning feature and made it that way once I took the meat, etc out of the pot. After I made the gravy I then added the other items back into the pot. I thought to myself OK this just may . I then branched out and tried making a whole chicken. The meat actually falls off the bones. I tried that twice. I was then onto my next trial, pulled pork. I search for recipes as a guide and then I adjust. I have a great dry rub for pulled pork so I used that and then I browned all sides of the meat first. I also made homemade BBQ sauce to add at the end of the cooking time. I used a bone in piece of meat so I think it took a little longer to cook than if it was boneless. I removed the meat and shredded it with a fork and set it aside. The recipe called for one to reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid and I disposed of the rest. You then take the cooking liquid reserve and the BBQ sauce along with the shredded meat and then cook it on low pressure for only a few minutes. It was delicious, it truly was. I was curious for I always hear that mashed potatoes are suppose to be wonderful when cooked in a pressure cooker. Well, that is true. I placed the potatoes with the water and a little bit of salt in the pressure  cooker. I also added a chopped clove of garlic. Once the potatoes are cooked and you drain the water you then continue to mash them and season with butter and milk and they are done. Remember I told you I am a skeptic until proven to be true? Well, this convinced me. To actually taste the flavor of the potato and not have to doctor up the flavor of mashed potatoes because all the flavor is boiled out of them impressed me. From what I understand, making cheesecakes are suppose to be wonderful when made using the pressure cooker. I am frugal and do not want to pay a lot of money for a cook book for electric pressure cooker recipes. May I suggest there is a plethora of recipes when you search for them via the internet.

I Recently Viewed The Movie, "90 MInutes In Heaven..." Although It Was Uplifting In General, There Was An Area In Which They Could Have Expounded Upon In A Greater Way...

I recently went to view the new movie, "90 Minutes in Heaven." In general it was an uplifting movie. I feel the title itself would provoke one to see the movie if one is in search of knowing a bit more about what it is like in heaven. Do you not agree? I was at a church where the author of the book shared his testimony a few years ago. It is an uplifting testimony that brings great glory to God and shows the true power of prayer.
I was so encouraged when the person that was detained due to the accident felt the prompting of Holy Spirit to go and pray for the man that was in the accident even though he was told he was dead. He had great faith and prayed anyway. God bless the person in authority that allowed him to pray for him. That man followed proper order. He felt the unction of Holy Spirit to pray, then he sought out the permission of those in authority to move forward in prayer. When Holy Spirit prompts you He always makes a way for it to be fulfilled. You have to learn to step out in faith when you hear Him beckoning you and gently prompting you to step out in faith. He is forever faithful. I can honestly say that when He beckons He always provides the words to speak, the tools to utilize and the faith that rises up within you to step out into action. Where God guides He provides. Amen.
Now, back to the  movie...I believe they dwelt too much on the pain of the main character and something was missing in the telling of this story. The title leads one to believe that the story would encourage one about the glory and splendor of heaven right? Well, let me tell you that there is very little mention of the actual experience and what took place when he did go to heaven, Why??? I understand that the man was brought back to earth and had to leave the splendor of heaven to share his story to encourage others. Why was there so little mention of what actually took place in heaven? If I were the writer of this movie I would have definitely given this subject matter a little more screen play than what was actually shown. They show you a little bit of it at the end of the movie. I am guessing it was done that way to keep people in their seats to have them not leave the theatre early without finding out what happens. Could it be that the hook is the title to keep one wondering throughout the movie, "When are they going to talk about what actually happened in heaven?" Another thought about this subject...maybe the author of the book wanted the story to be told like it was told on screen or the flip side is that he wanted more mention of the heaven experience and the director or screen play writer wanted to go in another direction. I do not know the answer to that question. All I know is that I was expecting more sharing in the movie of that experience. I am not judging this movie in the direction it chose to take for if it was the leading of Holy Spirit then He knows what the people need to see and hear when they go to see this movie right. I was blessed with seeing this movie and I will just leave it at that.

Jesus Is Coming Soon Are You Ready Or Not?

People you need to wake up and look at the times and occurrences all around you. The signs all seem to point toward the eminent return of Jesus, to come and claim His people. Are you ready or not? Remember, eternity is a very long time and it does not end. Whatever you select while you are here on earth will be the place you will live for all eternity, eternity without end. Do you want to live in pain, suffering and within the flames of a burning fire forever? The other option to you is to call upon the name of Jesus and live with Him in the splendors of heaven for all of eternity. Imagine this, no liars, sinners, stealing, cheating and the list can go on and on live in heaven.
Let me clarify this though, at one time or another those were the type of people they were prior to asking Jesus to forgive their sins and to come into their heart to be their Lord and Savior. It is a free gift given to you all you have to do is ask. It is a gift that one steps out in faith to receive. Do you believe that Jesus was born of the virgin Mary, He lived on planet earth for a duration of time and then was crucified on a cross and died. The greatest part of this story is that He rose from the dead 3 days later. He is alive and alive in those that ask Him to be in their heart.It is so simple, all you have to do is ask Jesus to cover your sins with the blood He shed for you on that cross and to forgive those sins. Then invite Him to come into your heart, He will do that. Then thank Him for the beautiful gift of eternal freedom in heaven that He gave to you. Live right and ask Hm to change the old ways you use to live and He will. At one point in my life I had anger in my heart and I use to swear, use curse words. He miraculously took that away from me. He is a loving God that loves people and wants to bless them. It is OK to walk in the blessings of God He so graciously bestows upon His people. Enjoy your new freedom with Jesus. One day soon we will all be singing praises in heaven before God and looking into the eyes of Jesus with love so overwhelming.
