June 7, 2009

I asked Father to show me what to make for church-in-the-park – and He led me to the recipe for cookies made with oatmeal – but I used granola, because I have lots of it, and need to use it up!  And it really works!  Excellently!   Led by Him to do so, I believe . . . → Read More: Breakfasty cookies for church-in-the-park… and God providing resources from the harvest!

Our back (side!) yard looks so barren without the gazebo, but it will be great for our daughter and her family, especially to have a shady outdoor spot for their little one!  (Our gazebo going makes me wonder what’s happening… Our son’s room is so barren too, without the big computer desk and chair . . . → Read More: daily adventures with Papa

May 28, 2009

Brought homemade raisin bread to coffee time.  Hubby came this time, too.  At lunch time, ___ and ___ (from the “church in the park” group) came for “Sunday soup” (or should I say, Wednesday Soup!).  We all had really good conversation – total emphasis on the Lord!  It is so awesome when God’s children . . . → Read More: church all over the place… acceptance and tolerance… coming out of the church ghetto
