The rea...Hey, Ruthy baby, You're not a MARTHA.<br /><br />The reason Jesus criticized Martha wasn't for the food and the work. He was going to sit right down to that meal. He wanted food, too.<br /><br />The criticism was because her HEART wasn't right. You can cook and clean all day, but do it with a right and loving heart.<br /><br />I'd talk more but I'm boring myself.

I definitely need to take a deep breath and center on God.<br /><br />That said, pumpkin pie doesn't stress me out because 1) I like to eat it and 2) I use premade pie crust and canned pumpkin. No scratch pies for me. Making pie crusts used to drive my mom insane so I never bothered to try.<br /><br />Thanks for the reminder to consider Susanne Dietzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09710634601407161821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-2888305480191470712010-11-21T17:04:06.131-05:002010-11-21T17:04:06.131-05:00I always fantasized about getting Chinese one of t...I always fantasized about getting Chinese one of these big cooking holidays, but that might mean Mutiny!<br /><br />Hey Tina, thanks for checking in from Seekerville.

Ladies, I got to meet Joy last night. You know how we writers tend to flock to coffee shops with WI FI? Well, lo and behold I met Joy and my fellow NE ACFWer Julia in Panera bread before Ruth's booksigning last night.<br />No such Debra E.

Yo...This made me smile. I want to be more like you!<br />You got me thinking about pie as therapy. Being still and making a beautiful, home made masterpiece.

And yes, we need those kind of people or the world would stop.<br /><br />Your comments about serving the military reminded me of my time in the CAF.
