Poorhouse Pies

I am currently training for two races that involve some pretty major hill climbs, and as a result I spend Sunday mornings before church running up the side of a mountain.  This week I managed to pull two other friends along with me; one of them slightly food obsessed. 

 

As we are making our way back down the mountain, she informs us about a place on our way home selling specialty doughnuts on Sunday mornings at 8:00am.  Realizing that we have just burned off all those calories running up the side of a mountain, the most logical thing for us is of course to stop at this wonderful establishment at the base of the mountain.  Not that we could have missed it due to the line of people standing out waiting to buy doughnuts.  I picked up maple bacon doughnuts for the boys, and coconut cream one for me; arriving at church with a slight sugar buzz. 

Task 14: Case For A Creator

Historically, I have been inconsistent with my daily devotional times, despite any efforts I have made and systems developed to keep me on track.  Then, three and a half years ago, I started what was meant to be a year long read through the bible program.  I went into it knowing I would fail, so rather than fail I broke it down into a three and a half year long program.  It worked! 

My goal for this year was to find a good bible study to keep myself going as I was finishing my read through the bible plan.  I chose "The Case for a Creator," by Lee Strobel.  It is a book I have wanted to read and it coincides with what the youth group is doing on Sunday nights which is nice. This said, however, I may have gone a little overboard only two days into the book. 

After listening to the high school bible study last night and reading the first two chapters; I set out determined to show my 6 year old the intricate design of a cell that could only come from a creator.  Yep...we made cells with play dough today.  Just like the ones that 9th grade high school students make.  He now thinks his mom is nuts. Oh and my friend who is a Christian Chemist is coming to visit this week.  Poor kid is going to be doing quantum mechanics by the end of the week.  

Poor Chickens

Since I know some people who read this blog do not use facebook, I thought I would post on the chickens.

 

Last week we had a raccoon take out all of beloved chickens.  Now my husband has waged a small war against the raccoon.
