lukewarm

What does it mean to be lukewarm? Room temperature, lacking heat or cold.

To be room temperature means to be the temperature of the room. Typically the same as your surroundings.  To prevent being room temperature you need an added element; i.e. ice, a heating element, and an  insulation.  and these elements  must be continual. Otherwise, you will become room temperature.  If you take iced tea  and introduce it into a hot environment, the ice will melt and  it will eventually become hot tea.  On the other side, if you take hot chocolate outside into freezing weather, the heat will dissipate and then you will have cold chocolate.  But if you take the iced tea and hot chocolate  and allow it to become acclimated to a warm environment; they just become yucky warm drinks; neither hot or cold. 

Jesus is the element we must continually take in to retain our temperature, and the Holy Spirit is our thermos that allows us to endure.  When we sit stagnant we become lukewarm.... and that's just gross.

Read Rev 3:-15-16

Then read the book of John

While in between projects, I stumbled upon this free pattern called seems like old times.  It's a cute and lacy type wrap that I had some Bernat baby soft in my stash that would work perfectly.  So, away I went..... The pattern was easy enough to follow until I came to the puff stitch.  I decided that the puff stitch and I would not be friends, and decided to wing it from there.  I thought it turned out pretty well!  Since I was making it for a six year old, I only continued for three rows after the puff stitch. I decided that a six year old might be challenged to keep a wrap around her shoulders, especially this very active six year old.  I decided that the wrap would become a poncho, and it did.  I followed the same pattern for the back but I kept the pattern open except where I added the stripes of pink and yellow. I then took both sides, eye-balled the neck opening, and joined them together using two single crochets in each space.  For the flowers, I chained 3, then 10 dc in the first chain stitch (I don't like the magic circle). Join the yellow with a slip stitch.  For the petals, I chained two, 1dc,2tc,2dc all in the same stitch, slip stitch in the next stitch then repeat 4 times for a total of five petals.
