Bits and Pieces

Bits and pieces tonight...

My container garden is growing well...although some unknown creature dug a hole in my pepper plant pot. In the dirt, that is. Quite puzzling. At least the plant is still growing. We've eaten quite a bit of the lettuce. How nice it is to just go "cut some lettuce" and have it on the table rather than buying it at the store!

Our 6-year-old son's progress is wonderful. He actually put words together to say "I hungry" the other night. And he has learned how to swing by himself. It is now his favorite pastime. The only thing is, he swings so high and hard that we have to stand there and hold down the swing set!

My new recipes that I have tried lately (just search for "Sue Gregg" to find her cookbooks online) have been awesome. Good-bye flour; hello blender batter method for baking! Very tasty, and much nicer for alternative grains. Can I say "Almond Coffee Cake"? Barley is our latest favorite grain!

My latest revelation is that, more than we realize, what goes on in our lives is a result of our choices. It's not God's fault. Neither is it really the devil's fault (although he takes advantage of our ignorance). More like it's our fault. What Genesis says is that God created mankind to be in charge. We were created to have dominion over the earth and that dominion was put in motion at the beginning. So it's our responsibility. The ramifications are interesting...

Till next time,
