: Life is hard. God is good. We need each other.
Chances are, if you’ve thought about taking a Disney vacation, tickets to Orlando are on the menu. Disney World is far larger and more expansive than Disneyland, after all. And there is nothing like an immersive vacation at The Most Magical Place on Earth. Clearly, with its 4 parks, Disney World has more to offer in many ways. (Being a homeschooler’s dream field trip for one!)
But there are lots of reasons why a trip to sunny California and Disneyland might be a better option to consider.
Ginger snaps. Sometimes called molasses cookies or molasses crinkles…it’s a classic recipe, just like my grandma used to make!
Of all the smells that came out of my grandma’s kitchen…from sugar cookies, to dumpling soup, to raised doughnuts…these ginger snaps might just be my favorite.
There is some debate among the family as to whether in their ideal form they are chewy or crispy. I find them delicious either way, but my preference is chewy. Having said that, I am also forgetful, and so invariably, I end up with some crispy cookies as well!
“For the body is not one member, but many…Now you are Christ’s body, and individually members of it”
I heard a simple yet profound insight into this passage in Corinthians recently…ready?

They say that a picture is worth a thousand words. I wonder if that makes videos worth a million? This week’s Food for Thought collection is going to be all in video form. I hope you find something that informs, inspires, or encourages you!
Our new favorite grilled chicken recipe! Sweet chili chicken is easy and tasty. A little sweet – a little spicy. And the leftovers are fantastic!
Do you use your grill as much as possible all summer like we do? For one thing, it tastes like summer on a plate. And for another, meals just don’t get easier! Add some fresh veggies, fruit and some bread, pasta or rice and dinner’s on the table.
Having a stash of meat in the freezer makes pulling something out to grill simple as well. I like to keep several options.
Teaching a Biblical worldview matters! Kids are leaving their faith at astounding rates. How long is it going to take for us to recognize the seeds that produce this fruit & start planting something different?
I heard a story recently about a young man who was out in his father’s watermelon field working, with strict instructions not to eat any of the fruit. Giving in to temptation, he attempted to hide the evidence by burying the remains off in another part of the field. He was sure he’d gotten away with it until his father noticed watermelons growing where they didn’t belong. The evidence was irrefutable. Undeniable. Once the fruit appeared, the son could not hide that he had buried the seeds in just that place.
