  1. I love their pot roast and the oven fried chicken, and the veggies.

    That is a place where you can eat lunch and still be too full to eat dinner, I like that.

     

    The taste and value of food these days at many local restaurants is so inferior that you

    leave feeling like you wasted your money but not at Audrey's.

     

    I couldn't eat it everyday but it sure is great to have a home cooked kind of meal and not

    put in the hours of cooking it takes to make it that good.

  2. Sorry guys.

     

    My neighbor with 3 kids and a friend of ours with two kids didn't get a single message

    so I thought it would be a good thing to post in case there was even one other person it could help.

    Neither have a home phone and I guess their cell phones weren't on the call list.

    We received several on our home phone but none on either of our cell phones.

  3. Thanks to Cobb County Police for pushing people, including my husband , up the incline last night on Dallas Hwy. and the guy in a black jeep that was pulling up behind stuck people and giving them a push to get them going again near Mars Hill Rd. on Dallas Hwy last night.

    I did call the Cobb County Precinct 5 on Dallas Hwy to say thank you.

  4. Oh my!!! I love mayo, Blue Plate ONLY, but not in blobs, it must be spread smoothly on bread or mixed well in tuna or chicken salad.

     

    Here's a confession about mayo, I LOVE peanut butter and Blue Plate sandwiches, I've even corrupted my grandson with them, he loves them too.

    I would have never thought to put mayo and peanut butter together.

    I may have to try that one.

     

    A few months ago, Publix has Blue Plate buy 1 get 1 free, I bought 12 jars. Boy, the looks I got!! :lol:

    Now you just need to stock up on peanut butter. :)

  5. That is too funny!! :lol: As you see your mother making something that seems so weird to you, you're certain that she is the only person on the planet doing it.........I guess not!!

    Ok, this is one I will never forget.

    My mother would cook fresh black eyed peas and the next day she would eat some cold, straight from the refrigerator, with mayo and diced onion in them.

    :blink:

  6. Mama loved something called 'Ambrosia', it had marshmallows, pineapple, whipping cream and pecans I think. OOOHHH MYYYY!!!! And she LOVED these pair things, they were halved pairs from a can with a dollop of mayo in the center well, topped with grated cheddar cheese and a jar cherry!? REALLY Mama!!!!??????!!!!!! :lol: It's no wonder that I only like PLAIN food!!

    :lol: I just had pear halves with a dollop of mayo and shredded cheese (no cherry on top) last week because it had been so long since I had thought about it.

    My Mom used to love it.

  7. As far as prayer.

    Matthew 6 starting in verse 5 speaks of praying in private and not like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets that they may be seen by men.

    I personally do not have a problem with public prayer if it is genuine and not just for show and I do not have any reason to think prayer at a game is just for show so I am not trying to offend anyone with that scripture.

    But I do believe that by forcing others to participate, even if you feel they should just stand there quietly is opening up a can of worms in today's world.

    I would not stand and listen to someone hold a prayer to Satan because they do not believe in God.

    But if we have the right to pray to our God then our society says they have the same right.

    I see no reason the prayer at games could not be held in the locker room or that the request be made for a moment of silence so each person may use that moment for whatever thoughts they wish to have during that time.

    God does not force His will on us and we do not have the right to force our will on others regardless of our opinions or beliefs.

  8. I have a questions for those that fight so hard to keep the 10 Commandments posted in public places.

    I am curious about the motives, why is it so important ?

    ---------------------------------------------------------------

     

    We do not live under "the law" (the 10 commandments) we live under "Grace". The law is an old covenant between God and the people at that time. This was given when people did not know what "sin" was, they were not conscious of sin.

    Because they could not keep each commandment they were instructed by God to offer animal sacrifices for the remission of their sins.

    (breaking commandments)

     

    ----------------------------------------------------------------

     

    We have a new covenant so it does not make sense to try to live by the old covenant, yes the commandments still show us today the things God considers sin, as should be, but for anyone to think they can keep each and every one of them throughout their lifetime is just not reality.

    If people fight to keep them as a reminder, ok. But this misleads those that do not understand the new covenant to believe they don't have a chance.

    If people are fighting to keep them public to hold others accountable then that is hypocrisy and is what is wrong with "religion" today.

    2 Corinthians 3:7 - Calls the 10 Commandments the ministration of death engraven in stones. Verse 8 says How can the ministry of the Spirit (Jesus) not be more glorious?

    Galations 3:24 - Therefore the law was our tutor, schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ that we might be justified by faith.

    v25 - But after faith has come we are no longer under the tutor, schoolmaster. (law, commandments)

    Hebrews 8:6 But now He (Jesus) has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also the Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises.

    v7 - For if that first covenant had been faultless then no place would have been sought for a second.

    continuing down to verse 13 - "A new covenant", He has made the first covenant obsolete.

    Hebrews 9:11 - But Christ came as High Priest of the good things to come......

    v12 - not with the blood of goats and calves (sacrifices for sin)but His own blood (the ultimate sacrifice for our sins)He entered the Most Holy place once and for all..

    I won't keep posting scripture but Hebrews continues to explain and Romans 1:5 speaks of through Jesus we have received grace....

    -----------------------------------------------------------------

    I questioned why was there need for a new covenant, did God make a mistake on the first one ?

    No, God knew exactly what He was doing.

    There were many covenants (agreements) in the bible going back to Adam and Eve in the garden, the 10 commandments, blood sacrifices etc. but I hear people trying to convince someone that they have to do this or that because "it's in the bible".

    What they are doing is confusing others and not understanding there are different dispensations. Every single word in the bible does not apply to us today, only the covenant we are under, not past covenants or a mix of them all.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------

     

    One reason Christians get such a hard time is because some really do not understand where we are today.

    Some judge by what "they believe" and not by actual scripture that pertains to us in our time. Some forget the fruits of the Spirit and some just like to show up to a brick and mortar building once a week and call that enough.

     

    It is all about what we believe.
