So a friend of mine has been telling about how great his wine is, and eventually I’ll have to actually try it. I don’t like the website too much, (so you’re not getting it here) but if you go down to The St. Clair Bistro on Rio Grande just south of i-40 (next to the St. James tearoom) you can take a “flight” of all the offerings. The winery is down in Deming, down-home New Mexico with the grapes growing over ’round Lordsburg. I’ve eaten at their other bistro down in Mesilla (just SW of Las Cruces), and the food is good so you won’t have issue there. Being that I haven’t been drinking (any liquor) for over a year, if the wine is as good as they say it is, I’ll have to do more than just drink it!

SO, as I had sorta hinted in the post below (Heelio) changes are afoot that I’m not at liberty to discuss openly just yet. If you’re in the loop via telephone convos lately, you know what’s possibly coming. To fill the space and shift into a direction we (as His children) should more usually take…We should seriously take Jesus as our example in our significant choices or directions we can take. In the Gospel of John, Chapter 5 verses 19-20 let’s look:
“Therefore Jesus answered and was saying to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, (A)the Son can do nothing of Himself, unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever the Father does, these things the Son also does in like manner. 20“(B)For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself is doing; and the Father will show Him (C)greater works than these, so that you will marvel.”
After reading this, how can we make any big decisions (and even some small ones) without seeking God’s input? Nothing else, no other factor (feelings, thinking, circumstances) can take higher precidence. No opinions, or anything else. Seriously seeking His face, and His Kingdom (Matt. 6:33) is the most important step of all. In our pride and arrogance we may temporarily have a glimmer of success, but it’s really flailing, and failure. Looking at another passage in John, this time 10 chapters ahead… Chapter 15 verse 5 has the key:
“I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he (A)bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.”
