He's still workin' on me to make me what I ought to be.
It took Him just a week to make the moon and stars,
The sun and the earth and Jupiter and Mars.
How loving and patient He must be, He's still workin' on me.

There really ought to be a sign upon my heart,
"Don't judge her yet, there's an unfinished part."
But I'll be perfect just according to His plan
Fashioned by the Master's loving hands.

He's still workin' on me to make me what I ought to be.
It took Him just a week to make the moon and stars,
The sun and the earth and Jupiter and Mars.
How loving and patient He must be, He's still workin' on me.



In the mirror of His Word reflections that I see
Make me wonder why He never gave up on me.
He loves me as I am and helps me when I pray
Remember He's the Potter, I'm the clay.

He's still workin'on me to make me what I ought to be.
It took Him just a week to make the moon and stars,
The sun and the earth and Jupiter and Mars.
How loving and patient He must be, He's still workin' on me.

Feelin A Little Tipsy


Remember that Tip Of The Day that I promised a little while ago? Ummm, yeah…about that…..I’m sorry. I kinda fell off the wagon with it. Sorry about that. So I’m going to make it up to you today with lots and lots of little things we can do to “Nix Fat, Not Flavor” in our daily food choices. So, here goes…..

*Opt for spray butter on whole grain toast or use spray salad dressing on fresh salads.

*Add a spoonful of Greek yogurt and salsa to a baked potato. Or bake potato skins in the oven and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese or drizzle with ketchup.

*Drink nonfat or 1% milk. Mix whole and 2% milk gradually changing the ratio of both until you are solely drinking 2%. Continue this process until you are drinking 1% or skim.

*When eating out, ask for a side salad or fruit dish instead of fries or onion rings.

*Purchase lean cuts of beef including top round, sirloin, or 93/7 ground beef. Remove the skins and cut off excess fat.

*Try using ground turkey instead of ground beef in spaghetti, burgers, chili or wherever else you typically use ground beef. The turkey is less expensive and better for you.

*Prepare tuna or chicken salad with non-fat Greek yogurt or sour cream instead of mayo.

*Add spray butter and Mrs. Dash seasonings to unflavored popcorn rather than buying the extra butter flavor.

*Use egg whites instead of regular eggs. Replace 2 egg whites or ¼ cup egg substitute for every egg.

*Instead of using butter, shortening or oil in cakes, brownies and other baked goods, use applesauce or prune puree. Decrease baking time by 25% to avoid a dry cake.

*Steam vegetables and add fresh garlic, low sodium soy sauce, or other herbs and spices to enhance bland side dishes.
