im thinking im more of a lurker....
which may or may not be why i blog as much as i "should".
oh well :D

heres a photo of that bulgar pilaf i made the other day...i forgot i took a picture when i posted it!
i guess i didnt make it look very appetizing..lol



"Since the children are made of flesh and blood, it’s logical that the Savior took on flesh and blood in order to rescue them by his death. By embracing death, taking it into himself, he destroyed the Devil’s hold on death15 and freed all who cower through life, scared to death of death." Hebrews 2:14-15

It seems I have to keep relearning the basic principle that Jesus died so I could be set free...and not cower through life. lol

Ok lastly, ive realized if theres gonna be any hope for this blog i need to blog MUCH more often!!!

soo....see you tomorrow perhaps? :D
