Uh - oh

Helping Shelby with her homwork has become, well....
DIFFICULT.
For those of you who know me know that when it comes to math
I am not the sharpest tool in the shed.
So who knew school systems now teach geometry in second grade?
This is where we are.

a cube - got it
sphere - ok
cone - piece of cake
rectangular prism - um
faces, edges - sure
vertices - VERTICES?
trapezoid - I think I remember that from BASIC math.
parallelogram - did I even spell it right?

See what I mean?
I'm lost.
So guess what?
I'm not smarter than a second grader.
LOL!

until then...

Recipe

I don't know why, but I love to sit and look through old cookbooks. Especially church cookbooks.
They are the first place I go when wanting to try something new or to find something familiar.
I love to cook but don't really do a whole lot of it with Larry's work schedule and not to mention I have a picky 8 year old.
Anyhoo.
Upon browsing I stumbled upon this cute recipe.
Little did I know I had been working on this very recipe for many years now.

I almost wet my pants I laughed so hard at these poor babies.

I am a Christian

BEAUTIFUL CHRISTIAN SISTER


When I say that 'I am a Christian', I am not shouting that 'I am clean living.

I'm whispering 'I was lost, but now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.

I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide. 


    When I say 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.

I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.


When I say 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.

I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.


When I say 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect.

My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.


When I say 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain.

I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.


When I say 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,

I'm just a simple sinner who received God's good grace, somehow!

Today is Beautiful Christian Woman's Day.

Pretty is as Pretty does but, Beautiful is just plain Beautiful.
