So, I thought I’d be environmentally friendly by cleaning my kitchen using lemons that are growing in my backyard… I didn’t have any vinegar or baking soda to add to the mix, but figured- hey- lemon and water would clean just the same… so I set to work… and guess what- my kitchen was sparkling and smelling lemon fresh…

About a week later, Jed and I began to notice fruit flies- multiplying fast… a couple days later a friend came over and began laughing as I clapped at the air every few seconds- trying to kill those nasty buggards.

Where in the world were the fruit flies coming from- I checked everywhere for rotting food- behind the couch, under the sink, under the beds…

And then, it hit me…
Cleaning the kitchen with LEMONS…
Yep, a recipe for fruit flies…

My – OOPS moment…

An almost daily oops is starting out the day in the Word and full of praise, but by mid afternoon it’s all gone out of my mind and I’m snappy and grumbly and a million miles away from the Lord. More than anything I wish I could walk with Him through the entire day.

Sounds like a great book and a great idea! I’d love to pay it forward.

I was at church and it was time to meet and greet. I should preface this by saying I had just finished one of a three week food fast, so my brain was teetering on complete mushiness. I stood up and stretched my hand forward to the husband of a couple near me and said, “Hi, my name is Tammy.” He said hello back and then introduced his wife named Linda. She however, had turned away to greet someone else, so I waited awkwardly as she finished that up and then turned to me. I stretched out my arm again and said, “Hi, my name is LINDA.”
I quickly turned 14 shades of red and her husband said laughing, “No, your name is Tammy, her name is Linda!”
I was HORRIFIED. There is no way to recover from that and there was no time to explain…of course, I wouldn’t have known what to say anyway. I sat down in defeat.
