Christmas Decorating!! :)

We continued out tradition and started out the day at Bojangles! :D It was so good! Then we went to Lowes and got our tree. We went to two different stores looking for just the right wreath for the door! It was so much fun! Patrick joined us towards the end and helped put up the icicle lights. I was not looking forward to doing that so the boys did it and it looks GREAT!!! :) Here are a few pictures of the process!! :)We are ready for Christmas in Fletcher 267! :)

Chili Cook Off @ SEBTS

SEBTS had a Chili Cook Off and I decided to enter. We made Alaskan Moose Chili and we had to think of a creative name. Derek came up with Bullwinkle Surprise. :)

We won Best Appearance...I think that means that it looked the yummiest!!! :) Yay! First time entering and I won a certificate and a coupon for free chips and salsa at Chili's.

Ruth and the Gospel

So I am sitting here working on a Paper for class and came across a verse in Ruth that really jumped out. It is Ruth 1:16 and it is a beautiful Old Testament picture of the Gospel. It reads,
"Do not urge me to leave you or turn back from following you; for where you go, I will go, and where you lodge, I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God, my God."
Not only is this beautifully poetic but it is a literal turning to God. And I wish I new Hebrew because I have read and been told that this in Hebrew is very beautiful to read. But the important thing to look at is what Ruth is doing. Ruth is literally turning her self (repenting) and putting her faith in God for all her needs (Salvation). She was leaving her pagan god's and pagan people to follow the one True God. Oh how rich the Old Testament is. The more I study the Bible the more I see how we have forgotten the Old Testament. We must realize that the Bible is one book that needs to be studied as one. Stay tuned I may have to write a sermon on this one...

Cooking for 2!!!

Growing up in a family of six it IS HARD to shop for 2. We always have leftovers that tend to go bad in our refrigerator and it feels like such a waste. Well, many of you know my husbands all time favorite dessert are brownies. I like brownies but we make a huge dish of them and they are staring at me every time I walk by them. Sooo, I found these at the grocery store last time I went!!!


Mini Brownies!!!! :)



Derek liked eating the left over icing!! haha!! :) I might have had a finger dip...or 3.... :)
