The Sheep and the Wolves

Sheep are initially threatened by the presence of a wolf, but will acclimate to him rather quickly if he is not immediately aggressive. It's only when he attacks do they begin to feel afraid, and by then it's too late.
The wolf never can see why he is considered a threat. He is simply running on selfish fullfilnent of his own needs...the flesh of sheep. The shepherd is there to protect the sheep from the wolf. In so doing the wolf will not understand the shepherd's actions, and the sheep will look at him bewilderingly.
This is why so many pastors (shepherds) do nothing. It's probably the most difficult thing for a pastor to do.

The Real Identity Crisis: Am I A Hand Or A Foot?

Not every member of your body has the same purpose. However, the foot has as great of a function as the hand. As followers of The Master we are all of the same body, but are we all "like-minded"?
No!
We all have a common spiritual heritage and a common fullfilment of purpose, but our abilities and personal characteristics help to categorize our walk. This helps us to identify kinship with fellow believers. It is very important that we find "like-minded" fellowship, and grow together with those believers, while loving those that we don't have the common short term connection with. In other words, you have your place in the body of Messiah. That place may be equivalent to being a foot. The foot has no business trying to do things that a hand is to do. All though they are connected to the same body they have completely different purposes.
I see on social media every single day members of the same body bashing each other and correcting each other because they don't understand this very simple concept and metaphor, "The Body of Messiah." Noses telling ears how to smell and that if they are not doing that they just cannot be saved. Feet telling hands how to walk and hands telling feet how to hold a Coke bottle. It's both silly and sad. People seem to be seeking out others to correct just for the sake of sparking a debate. A very public debate that does nothing for building the kingdom.
My advice is this. Realize that everyone is a heretic to someone, including me and including you. Go find a group of LIKEMINDED believers that fellowship together in person, not on the internet. Grow together with them every week. Become accountable to a real group of people.
There is no accountability online with social media groups or youtube. None of us have it all together. NONE OF US!
Don't try to make the eyes hear and the ears see. Be with people that you can be in one accord with.

My Review of Swarm Commander Swarm Lure

This is my first capture. I currently have three traps set up around my property. I'll update throughout the coming months on more captures as they happen.

I Really Want To Lose Weight!

[caption id="attachment_195" align="alignnone" width="258"] LOOK! 18 pounds gone forever this month!!![/caption]

That is exactly how I felt a month ago...and, it is h
ow I still feel. I have had a GREAT first month while using the AdvoCare products. I am very pleased with my results thus far. I really can't find any downside to using these products. I mean really, if you struggle with weight loss and with keeping it off like I do and have in the past, then you really must try these products. They are literally designed to get your body chemistry in working order so that you will start processing the things you ingest the way God intended for your body to process them.
So, how much exactly did I end up losing in my first
month? Well, exactly 18 pounds. It should have been more, but I cheated....every weekend....A LOT! Lol. But Monday thru Friday evening I was dedicated to using the products, allowing them to work, and keeping very mindful of what I should eat. Advocare made it very easy to do this. Why? Because when your body chemistry is correct you lose nearly all sugar and carb cravings. Sugar and carbs are my biggest problem. I am addicted to sugar like an an addicts on pills. This stuff has literally taken most of those cravings away. Do I still eat sweets? Yes I do, but it is rare (only on weekends), and when I do I don't feel the urge to go back for second and overdo things.
Ask yourself this question. "Do I really want to lose weight an
d get my body chemistry corrected so that it will not seem like a struggle and a chore to do so?" What was your answer? If it was yes then I'm gonna ask you to let me be your coach. Let's you and me join together and win this fight. Let me cheer you on, congratulate your successes and encourage you when you fall. I will be your partner. I'm getting it done. I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT IT TOO! If you are ready to get started CLICK RIGHT HERE!
And if your answer was NO, not yet. Then please, just keep coming back here and let me give you tips and encouragement on how to get things right mentally so that you can get started. By the way, watch the video here because there is a bit of a secret to weight loss that I talk about. See if you agree. Leave a comment, or ask a question please. And thanks for stopping by!

Is Prime Pantry A Good Value? - A side by side comparison to local shopping

Copied from my other website www.Productreviewdude.com

Hello folks, this is Big Daddy Bigz, and I have decided to take on a project that will answer a question that i think most people are wanting answered, but just haven't taken the time or just don't have the time to do their own research. Well, that's my job. I will be using Amazon Prime Pantry for my next few grocery type purchases, then driving to my usual local store (which will remain nameless) and then reporting back here to you on how it compared. Keep in mind that gas money is a factor in this process for me because I live 15 miles away from the nearest grocery store. The one I typically use is actually further at 18 miles from my home. Each of these upcoming blogs will be categorized under "PRIME PANTRY RESULTS" in the sidebar of this website, so you won't have any trouble finding it.
First, let me explain to you what Prime Pantry is. Prime Pantry is a service of Amazon.com and the short description is this, you can buy many of the items that you purchase at your local grocery store or big box store. You will need to be and Amazon Prime Member in order to participate.  Try Amazon Prime 30-Day Free Trial. Once you log onto the website you will be given a "virtual box" to place your items into. As you are browsing items you can see how much space they will take up in your box. For instance, a box of toothpaste may take less than 1% of your box, but a box of washing powder may take 26% of your box. Why does this matter? Well, each box that you use is going to cost you $5.99 for shipping. Don't panic though because there is a trick to getting free shipping. As you shop, look at the top of you page and you'll find this . Check that link for items that you need first, and once you qualify for free shipping then you proceed to browsing for your other items. If you think you will be filling multiple boxes then only put 5 items in each box from this section of the online store. We don't want to be paying for shipping if we can help it, otherwise we might as well jump in the family roadster and head to town. One other thing you will want to keep an eye on will be how much room you have left in your box. you can do this by looking to the right of the page and it will show you what percentage of space is available. once it goes over 100% (even if only by a fraction) you get a second box. This second box is exactly like the first as it will cost you $5.99 unless you pick 5 qualifying items like you did in the first box. 
Is it a perfect system? NO....but it is very convenient, especially for those of us who live miles from the conveniences of the city. For us I foresee this as being a HUGE time-saver, and quite possibly a good money saver (keep reading to see my results).
At the bottom of this page I'm going to show how my first Amazon Prime Pantry shopping experienced compared to my local grocery store. Following are the types of items you can purchase through Amazon Prime Pantry:

Ok, if you have browsed the links above you kinda get an idea of what you can find at Amazon Prime Pantry. Keep in mind that this is still a fairly new thing they are doing, and it is only going to get bigger, although I think it is fairly big already.

ANYWAY, as promised, here is the breakdown of my first Amazon Prime Pantry shopping comparison:

 

1. 1. Crisco Vegetable Oil 48 oz  Local Store $2.98  Amazon $2.79  Winner: Amazon

1. 1. Organic Honey 12 oz   Local Store $4.38  Amazon $5.19   Winner: Local Store

1. 1. Old Spice Men's Deodorant 3oz  Local Store $3.97 Amazon $2.48 Winner: Amazon

1. 1. Suave Antiperspirant Deodorant 2.6ox  Local Store $2.94 Amazon $2.94 Tie

1. 1. Suave men's Body Wash 15oz  Local Store $1.88  Amazon $2.00 Winner: Local Store

1. 1. Frosted Mini Wheats 24oz Local Store $3.68 Amazon $2.99 Winner: Amazon

1. 1. Colgate Total Twin Pack 6oz Local Store $4.96  Amazon $4.96 Tie

1. 1. Always Thin Liners 120 ct Local Store $15.72 Amazon $5.47 Winner: Amazon

1. 1. Folgers Classic Roast Coffee 30.5oz Local Store $8.47 Amazon $7.49 Winner: Amz

1. 1. Bounty Paper Towels 6ct Local Store $8.98 Amazon $8.99 Winner: Local Store

1. 1. Scott Toilet Paper 8 rolls Local Store $7.96 Amazon $7.76 Winner: Amazon

1. 1. Quaker Oatmeal Squares 14.5oz Local Store $2.75 Amazon $2.50 Winner: Amazon

1. 1. McCormick Black Pepper 6oz Local Store $6.48 Amazon $6.48 Tie

1. Crisco Cooking Spray Non-stick 6oz Local Store $2.18 Amazon $2.18 Tie

Amazon Wins = 7
Local Store Wins = 3
Ties = 4
Totals - Local Store $77.36 + $7.00(gas)+$6.19(tax)=$90.55
Amazon Prime Pantry (with estimated tax.)             $68.82 
I truly was not expecting this! WOW! A total savings of $21.73 and I didn't have to leave the house, I didn't have to walk all over the store, and I didn't have to wait in line. It took me maybe 45 minutes to purchase the items on Amazon Prime Pantry from start to finish. A trip to my local store takes 40 minutes of driving total, and 90+ minutes of walking around the store. My items will be here in two days MAX, and they'll be dropped off at my front door!

So far, I'm one happy camper! Try it out!![contact-form-7 id="89" title="Contact form 1"]

What AMAZON Just Did IS CRAZY!!! Prime Pantry

Maybe you have already heard about this, but Amazon has entered the arena and has once again engaged the big "brick and mortar" stores in battle....and the customer wins.
Just a quick overview of what is going on with Prime Pantry (this is by no means an extensive description).
Prime Pantry offers you the convenience of doing even more of your shopping at home. This includes, but is not limited to grocery items, household goods, pet supplies, and so much more! All at a comparable cost of going to the Big Store in town.
While my family has not yet used this service, this weekend we will be making our first order. I will post the results on another blog post, so check back Sunday evening as I hope to have it posted by then. In the meantime, CLICK the link below.
