Got Beer?

I read this article last week (but had to wait for the on-line version to appear this week): www.christianstandard.com/articledisplay.asp?id=1101. (sorry, you have to cut and paste because I tried for 15 minutes to embed this!) I found the article interesting. I to wonder what causes some Christian leaders to drink. Now, I know, I'm in a pretty decent church community. For the most part they don't care if the leader does or doesn't drink. But I think that examining your motive for downing a brew isn't bad. Thinking about your example to others isn't bad. Determining if your drinking a drink will cause someone to be closed to talking to a "Christian" isn't bad. I guess I agree with the author in that you just need to think about cultural relevance & motive.

Review: Simple Truth Organic Thin & Crispy Vegan Crust & Pizza Sauce

By
We were sent samples of Simple Truth Organic Thin & Crispy Vegan Pizza Crust & Pizza Sauce.  We rounded out our samples with Kroger Pizza Blend Cheese, Kroger Pepperoni and Kroger Bella Mushrooms.  What can I say - we're a Kroger loving family! My little helper loved spreading the sauce and then all the ingredients.  I'm not sure all the cheese made it on the pizzas! Overall, this was good, but I'm not sure we'll purchase the crust again.  The "vegan" part didn't affect the taste as far as I could tell.  I LOVED that the crust was crispy (like a cracker almost), but where the toppings were it was a wee bit softer.  The texture was a+.  I felt like the crust had zero taste.  I did, however, enjoy the taste of the sauce.  I don't like my pizza sauce overly spicy or sweet and this one fit the bill - this we will purchase again. Can’t top the great taste of this #SimpleTruthOrganic Vegan pizza crust! #MyMagaz...

Robin's Egg Blue

By
What color is more vibrant, calming, and fun all mixed into one? For me, it is a bright robin's egg blue. It can be a statement color, and accent color, or whatever you want it to be. I have to give my boy the credit for finding this chest sometime last year. I apologize I didnt really get a "before" picture. The chest was painted brown. Why you would ever really paint wood brown, is beyond me. Especially this chest. It is a cedar chest, smells wonderful and has beautiful, rich natural wood. I sanded this one down, because I wanted to salvage the beauty. However, even then, the brown paint remained in the carvings on the front and in the grooves of the legs. I would have saved that beautiful wood too, but you already know I did not. Why did I not, you may ask? (Especially when I keep going on and on and on about the wood...) Because of this. The top. Sigh . The pictures dont really do it justice, but there are grooves going opposite the grain, making it look scratched. ...
