From Janette's  Desk
=============================================

I had a fun weekend, I had breakfast with my mom, and dinner with

some long-time friends. 35 years, yikes!

 

It's amazing how old everyone else has gotten. (okay, so I've gotten

older too!) Friends are truly a treasure.

 

Have a wonderful week!

Blessings,
Janette

The Bible in  One Year

Daily Bible Reading - 2008

With this arrangement, you read the events of the Bible as they
occurred chronologically in a year, but in the chronological order
of events. So, for  example, many of the Psalms are included
with the readings for historical books, because they were written
at the time of those events. Likewise,  the writings of prophets
are included with contemporary historical  events.

Hi I have a problem with my couch arms.  The kids seem to get

them dirty very quickly.  I have cleaned them every month with an

all purpose carpet upholstery cleaner but it seems worse within

the week.  Any ideas other than covering them?  Rose Oil City, PA

I was wondering if anyone had some suggestions for cooking

corn on the cob, on the grill?

I am a single mom & thinking of buying my first gas grill this

summer. I am looking forward to all the recipes for the

upcoming summer months!!  Thanks, Allie

------------------- Recipes - Replies to Requests -------------------

 

This is a recipe for my all-time favorite summer salad.  It's a

modified version of a salad my German side of the family in

Colorado fixed.  Didn't like it as a child, but absolutely

LOVE it now!  Enjoy!

 

BUTTERMILK SALAD

 

1-2 heads of red or green leaf lettuce, torn into large bite-size pieces

1 cucumber, cut into bite-size pieces

8-12 hard-boiled eggs, cut into bite-size pieces

tops of 1 bunch green onions, 1/2" to 1" long

1 quart buttermilk

1 pint half and half

 

Combine all ingredients in a 16-cup container, salt and pepper to

taste (it takes quite a bit to make it palatable for me since I don't l

ike buttermilk).  Cover with lid and chill well before serving. 

Tastes even better the next day!

AAmazing Grace Devotional by Pastor Jeff

=============================================

"Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you
will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For
everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks
finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened"
Matt 7:7-8

Every time I read these verses, I am reminded of those famous
words spoken by President Kennedy: Ask not what your
country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your
country.” I suppose the word that brings back this memory
is ask. Mr. Kennedy used the word in the sense of making
yourself available to the country and the welfare of all. Indeed,
this was -- and is -- a lofty suggestion. I don’t recall if the
American people arose to the call, but we should have –
and we should now. Our former president was issuing a call
for Americans to come to the surface and do what all Americans
are supposed to be doing -- helping. I venture to say that if
President Bush were to issue this call today, those opposed
to the conservative point of view -- including Mr. Kennedy’s
own brother -- would greet it coolly.

Jesus, on the other hand, was issuing a call to mankind to
call upon the One who is able to equip us for the work at hand.
Ask, He says, and you will receive whatever you need for the
occasion. He continues, “Seek, and you will find what you are
looking for.” He then concludes, “Knock, and the door of opportunity
will be opened to you.” Jesus equips, instructs, and provides
opportunity for service.

How different from Mr. Kennedy’s speech. He never promised to
equip us. He never offered the education necessary. Nor did he
provide opportunity. Government usually fails in all of these areas.
Government prefers to give to those who have need in order that
they will become dependent upon Government. In that way,
Government will control the masses. Jesus wants to set us free.

Isn’t it amazing how two men from two worlds can use similar
words and the meaning be completely opposite each other?
Quite AAmazing, Amen.

N-o-w may the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus
from the dead,  that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the
blood of the everlasting  covenant, make you complete in
every good work to do His will, working in  you what is well
pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be 
glory forever and ever. Amen.Hebrews 13:20-21 (NKJV)
