Are the plants laughing?

Jan 31, 2017 Palm Desert, 80 degrees yesterday!

Wow what a day yesterday!   I played volley ball at the pool but before they got set up, I met Missionaries from British Columbia.  They had been called out of Chicago to full time ministry to the Natives of Copper Island, BC Canada.  They were on vacation with their family of 4 children (two African American, adopted).  They said they were a part of African American churches before going to Canada.  I shared the live stream of out church, www.FTHCM.org.  I invited them to Bible Study and dinner but they had already left the park.  They have a Christian fishing camp and camps for Children.  They catch big fish, check out their website: www.adventurelearningministries.com.

In the afternoon I was invited to go to a buffet dinner at, what I later found out was a Casino, (YIKES!) I was invited by my next door neighbor and two of his buddy's and 4 women.  

I remember EP sharing a message way back called "Are the plants laughing at us?"  His message was that in Genesis 1:28-29 God instructed us to subdue the earth (take authority over) which included the plants.  He further showed that most of the things that we struggle with, (addictions, greed, etc... are PLANT BASED) money, drugs, food, cigarettes, marijuana, alcohol, etc...  We have allowed them to take dominion over us, instead of taking dominion over them.  So...the plants are laughing at us!

We had to walk through the Casino to stand in line for about an hour in a smoke filled environment for a "two for one" buffet.  It was good food and the line was just as long after we finished.  I was respected as a Grandma Swann should be.   After we finally sat down, it was a pleasant meal, until I let the ice cream plant (via the cow), take dominion and appear over my fruit.  So, I couldn't judge the others who were missing their behavior.

Tonight is live stream Bible study at 4:30 our time, so I will turn down "Taco Tuesday"(3 Tacos for $1.50) that I was invited to, by the same crew.

My Bishop of my base Church in Maryland will be in Las Vegas this Sunday and my Grandson I adopted in Las Vegas said he would be there.  Great news!
