Lately
How does a one hour time difference effect us so much?-Today I made Jackie's olive oil honey bread. I doubled the recipe to make two loaves, one rose and one did not. How did that happen? Also I have been using pyrex pans and they are very annoying. No matter how much greese I put on them the bread sticks. I am expecting a pampered chef stone pan this week. Thank goodness, I need all the help I can get.
-Tomorrow is Halloween. Our family hasn't yet determined on a particular stance on Halloween. The best part about it for me is passing out candy and scripture verses to trick-or-treaters. I remember our IV days when we were always trying to come up with a way to reach people with the gospel, well there is no other day of the year when children come to your home asking for something. I type up 10 or so verses and print off alot of copies on the computer. Then I cut them into strips and roll them up and fasten them with a sticker. I heard a little girl leave my porch last year exclaiming, "look mommy, I got a secret message!" I hope that message will change her life. This is a good way to involve our kids in meeting the culture where it is at. Let them hand out the candy. Also Josh adds, if you are going to give out scripture be sure to give good candy.
-I am very excited about a large rummage sale this week. I got a babysitter and am attending with NO CHILDREN!!!! How lovely to peruse the piles of thigs without hearing a cry or complaint, without saying,"don't touch that!," "We look with our eyes," "I'll buy everyone a cookie if you will be so good for mommy." It will be wonderful.

My ultrasound is next Tuesday, I think the 7th. I'll be sure to post the results, if we can find out.
Glad to hear the recipe sort of worked. I've never had a problem with it, but I always start it in the breadmaker. I'm telling you you have to get one - they are awesome.
The rummage sale with no kids sounds great!! I know how much you love them (sales that is...though, I'm sure you love the kids too..hee,hee).
I like you Halloween idea and Josh is right, if you're going to give scripture, the candy better be yummy. :)
I think I agree with your stance on Halloween (and I also agree with Josh about the candy). This has been a big discussion topic around here the last week or so...how will God be most glorified through us on this day? We don't want to be "the people who don't give out candy"...it's not likely that anyone would know the reason why, and little kids aren't likely to understand even if they did know. And we don't want our kids to be completely cut off from the fun of dressing up and getting candy...but God isn't glorified by that, either. I think the scriptures with candy is a nice balance, and then the kids can feel like they are a part of it, too.
