surrender

It's only been a month since I started reading this new book. I randomly bought a couple books when Berean Bookstore was out of business.
Here is the title currently reading..."DANGEROUS SURRENDER".
Now who in their right mind would even pick up that book, fully knowing it was going to be a difficult read. AHHH! Only me, and I've spent several days lately reading it.
Here's a few keys:
Will you voluntarily surrender the keys to the kingdom of Me and accept Jesus' dangerous invitation to deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow him? I need to surrender control.
Will you decide to say yes to God, even b/f knowing the full implications of what that yes may mean?(still working on it)
Will you let God "ruin" you forever altering how you relate to other in your life and world? I want to be ready. I want to create space in my heart for hurting people. This is what I'm ready for in my missions trip to Israel in about a month.

Laundry Detergent

What laundry detergent works best for you?

There are so many brands out there and I'm disgusted once again with another laundry detergent.
17 yrs and we've used the same detergent...ERA!!!!
It was all we used; we wash all clothes in cold water...Never, Ever had an issue till they came out with this stronger formula. My clothes were staining from the detergent.
About 5 months ago, we switched to a new detergent ALL.
I liked it, but today I wash my clothes with the same brand, but must be a different kind of ALL.(Fresh Rain) Blue detergent. Frustrated it stained the entire front and back of my gray sweat pants and the inside of my adidas shirt(lucky the shirt still wearable).
What is it these days with detergents????????
Washing one more load and then going to have to go buy the right kind of detergent, so I don't stain any other clothes. The key...Buy the clear color detergent, no liquid color.
