Welcome....Here's a glimpse of our happenings!

The verses that have REALLY spoken to me (Sarah) lately....



"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock." Matthew 7:24-25



Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings. I Peter 5:8-9



From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. For in him we live and move and have our being. As some of your own poets have said, 'We are his offspring.' Acts 17:26-28



May the words of my mouth and the mediation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O Lord, my Rock, and my Redeemer. Psalm 19:14



So be careful to do what the Lord your God has commanded you; do not turn aside to the right or to the left. Walk in all the way that the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days in the land that you will possess. Deuteronomy 5:32-33



God, our God, will take care of the hidden things but the revealed things are our business. It's up to us and our children to attend to all the terms in this Revelation. Deuteronomy 29:29 (The Message)

Broccoli Salad

Over the last several weeks, I've noticed several blogs with recipes. So, I (Sarah) have decided that I will periodically (no promise on the timing of "periodically") post some of our favorite recipes. These are recipes that both of us really like.

The first recipe is that of "Broccoli Salad." I can't take credit for this recipe, as it comes from a good friend of our's, Stacy....

Here it is...Broccoli Salad

3 bunches broccoli, cut in small pieces
1 medium onion, finely diced
1 cup sunflower seeds
2 cups shredded cheese (mild cheddar)
12 strips cooked bacon, crisp and in pieces
1 cup raisins, optional (we personally do not add the raisins)

For the dressing...

1 cup mayonnaise (we actually use "Miracle Whip" light)
3 Tbsp. vinegar
3/4 cup sugar

Add the dressing to the dry ingredients right before serving.

Enjoy!

That really wasn't the comment I was hoping for :) Thanks, Joel (and I'm fairly sure this isn't Kendall's comment).
