The last book in the Bible, which is commonly called “Revelations,” is arguably the most misunderstood book in the New Testament.
One major contributing factor to this misunderstanding is that the colloquialism “Revelations” is not the actual name of the book. The title as given by the KJV translators is The Revelation or more fully The Revelation of Saint John the Devine.
The book is not “Revelations” as in many, but rather one single Revelation. We simply need to look no further than the first verse to know this is true:
Revelation 1:1 KJV

The Korean Conflict, Vietnam and Iraqi Wars did not trouble the civilian population of our country as much as the First and Second World Wars. There were rationing and shortages during the first conflict, but nothing like during World War ll. It started immediately. I remember when sugar rationing was announced. Those who could afford it hoarded quantities of sugar. That couldn’t be done with women’s fashions, however.

If I have a box of cake mix that has been there a bit too long, I will make this cookie recipe. You would never know that the cake mix was a little stale. Jam-Filled Oatmeal Bars. If the dry cake mix is lumpy, sift before using. In large mixing bowl, combine dry cake mix and oatmeal. Add butter and mix until crumbly. Press 3 cups of the crumb mixture into greased 9 by 13-inch baking pan. Reserve remainder for topping. Use bottom of a glass to flatten evenly. Bake at 350 F for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on wire rack ...

Is there, or was there ever, a person in your life whose presence thrilled your very being? In my life, to now, there have only been a handful. Near or at the top of my list was my great-aunt Lidia (pronounced “Liddy”) Mincey.
When I was a pre-teen Aunt Lidia would come to our house for visits. Her visits were always surprises, for she never announced her coming. She just appeared. There were times when I would come home from school and there she’d be. No matter what might have happened during the day that was disappointing, all was erased by Aunt Lidia’s presence.

It’s 1893 in the mountains of East Tennessee. There are no TVA nor are there lakes in East Tennessee nor northern Alabama. In the mountains of East Tennessee and north Alabama, work is done by manpower and draft animals. A few oxen are still being used mostly for snaking logs from the mountains to local sawmills or to railroad loading sites scattered through the regions with heavy timber concentrations.

“Who wants to go camping?”
When our fourth-grade teacher asked that question, the class exploded. Everybody was ready to go. Except for me.
The trip was for six days. During this time, they would be “roughing it.” I may have been a farm girl/tomboy, but I liked my electricity and running water.

If you drive down the road right now and see patches of blue in the spring green hayfields and pastures, it’s liable to be lyre-leaf sage. I have it in my fields, as do my neighbors. It’s always been around, but I normally only see it along roadsides and field edges. It is in the same family of plants as the herbal sage used as a condiment.

The tomato is one of the most popular garden vegetables! If you're looking forward to growing your own tomatoes for the first time this summer, keep these tips in mind:
Plant tomato transplants deeper than they were growing in the tray; the deeper, the better.
Pick a location that does not hold water and receives as much direct sunlight as possible.

Exercise, of course, is good for you. But any form of exercise also can expose you to the risk of injury. Riding a bicycle is a great form of exercise, but it, too, has its risks. A relatively common injury among cyclists is an irritation and inflammation of the ulnar nerve, which runs from the armpit through the inside of the elbow and into the hand and forearm.

I simply couldn’t believe it. It was a surprise and not a pleasant one.
When I was 12 years old, one of my classmates had a birthday party and I was the only one in our group of friends who was wasn’t invited. To beat it all, I had no idea until I heard them talk about it at school. Yep, they talked about the birthday party right in front of me. I couldn’t understand why they would do that. Let me tell you, it really hurt. I wondered what I done wrong to deserve that.
