: Life is hard. God is good. We need each other.
This is going to be a ‘current events’ kind of Food for Thought. News from the 2018 Winter Olympics as well as other moments that made me say ‘Whaaaaat?’ are compiled here for your perusal. Some will hopefully make you laugh a little, others may make you do a double take and shake your head.
Enjoy!
I was given a copy of By Design Science to review, and am being compensated for my time in writing it. All opinions are always mine.
We talk about science a lot around my house. Because my husband speaks on the topic of creation vs. evolution, he is always sharing the latest news on the topic with us. He’s also particularly interested in what a science curriculum is teaching, and it’s something we discuss frequently. So when I learned about By Design Science for grades 1-8, I needed to know more!
Have you ever had an ‘a-ha’ moment in the kitchen? I was talking to my dulce de leche loving niece recently about recipes using the sweet elixir of the gods when lightening struck.
One of the easiest cookie recipes I’ve made uses a can of sweetened condensed milk. Dulce de leche is sweetened condensed milk that has been caramelized. TA-DA!
Guess what I made the next day?
What are your thoughts on herbal teas?
I like them okay. And if I’m in just the right mood, they can be a soothing and wonderful way to reap the benefits of herbal remedies. More often than not, though, I am not in just the right mood. Or I simply don’t want to take the time to brew and sip a cup.
Enter tinctures.
Tinctures are so easy to make and take that I kind of take for granted that not everyone is familiar with them. Tincture is a weird sounding word, isn’t it? Usually, when I talk about them with people I simply call them ‘herbal medicine’.
This fast and easy Italian bread recipe is ready in less than an hour. It’s not about perfection. Simple and rustic and made with only four ingredients!
Do you bake homemade bread?
I go through phases where I do more often, and then times when I just don’t. I think I forget how quick it can be, because if I remembered, I think I’d make it a lot more often.
This fast bread recipe is just 4 ingredients and is ready to eat in under an hour…start to finish!
Don’t give up because someone else is rude, mean, or discouraging. And keep in mind, to every person you meet–you are every church, every Christian..you are Jesus to them. Don’t you be the reason someone else wants to give up.
When your wife gets home and you ask how it went and her reply is, “Terrible, I cried the whole way home.” … the right thing to do is hug her. Thank you, God, that I have a husband who knows this.
Have you ever stepped out to do something that was out of your comfort zone, hoping that you’d be rewarded for your courage only to be shot down? Yeah. That. I’m not talking about outright personal rejection, just something going in a generally sucky way.
We all have areas we are self-conscious of, and for me it’s always been my weight. After being motivated by my sister’s commitment to working out, I decided to jump in and join a gym that had just opened up about 3 minutes from our house.
