Worshiping a Living God
How awesome is it that we serve and worship a living God? He loved/loves me so much that He died for all of my sins and yours. I love that we celebrate Jesus’ resurrection. What a great time to bring it all back to him. If I were to only do this everyday. This is…

A Quarter of a Century
Yesterday I turned 25! What a great 25 years I have had. Brent had to work over in Helena, so we were up bright and early. Before he headed out the door, he made me some tasty french toast. After he left, I was able to spend some time in God’s word. What a great…

Coconut Macaroons
I am going to start finding/baking several gluten/dairy free recipes. We started the “Truth Project” with a group from our church and there is a girl that can’t have either. She told me not to worry about finding recipes she can eat, but I am determined, at least most of the time. Someone suggested I…

A Stroll Up in the Mountains
After an amazing!! Sunday morning at Venture Church (Brent will eventually get to blogging about this), we headed up to the mountains to enjoy God’s wonderful creation. We enjoyed a nice stroll along the roadside as the snow covered the ground around the reservoir. We did not feel like trekking around in a pile of melting snow…

Take your favorite guacamole (I opted for homemade!), fry some crispy bacon, your favorite bread, and some cheddar cheese! You know what to do with the rest! Mighty tasty! Only…

Run to the Pub 2012
Brent and I decided to run our first race of the year on St. Patrick’s Day! It is hard to get any races in before this time of year in Montana because of our lovely winters. We woke up around 7 am this morning, another lovely thing about racing in March in Montana is that…

Lasagna Soup
Soup and lasagna combined, why not? This sounded like a great alternative to the normal lasagna or soup dish. As I looked through recipes, this one caught my eye. I have to try that! I bookmarked the recipe months ago and am finally getting around to making it. Actually this is the week of making…

Stuffed Jumbo Pasta Shells & Homemade French Bread
I normally do not make a nice meal on Sundays as it tends to be a lazy and relaxed day in the kitchen. As I was busy preparing meals for a friends that just had a baby, I took advantage of my cooking mood. Brent helped finish the meal for my friends as I scrambled…
