Now That the Musical is Finished...

I have time to do all kinds of things, like:

1) Blog! This should make my mother extremely happy, since she has been waiting all week for my latest note. Here it is mom!

2) Bake! I have been fascinated with a few baking blogs as of late. My favorite is Bakerella. She makes this super cute cake pops, which are a little too labor intensive for me. So, I decided to just do the basic cake ball. They are extremely good. Here is the finished product.3) Read! Since I read two books this weekend that I own, the library is calling my name once again. I will probably blog a bit this summer about the different books I read.

4) Garden! It is a little to early to actually put much of anything in the garden yet, but I decided to try to start some plants inside this year. I tried pepper and tomatoes. The peppers have yet to show anything, so I am pretty much giving up on them, but the tomatoes have done great. Here are the top two that will find their way into the garden soon.

Tell me more about these cake balls. I recently got the recipe for oreo truffles from a friend in town, so they have entered our regular baking creation (although technically, they don't involve any baking). Good to hear from you, friend. I hope the musical was a success.

The Bakerella blog gives you step-by-step instructions on how to make the cake balls. I think it is like the oreo truffles. You basically bake a cake, crumble it, mix in some frosting, form the balls and then cover them in chocolate. They are a bit time consuming, but very good.

The 49th Mystic by Ted Dekker

In the small town of Eden, Utah, a blind girl named Rachelle Matthews is about to find out just how wrong. When a procedure meant to restore Rachelle's sight goes awry, she begins to dream of another world so real that she wonders if Earth might only be a dream experienced when she falls asleep in that reality.  She is the prophesied one who must find and recover five ancient seals--in both worlds--before powerful enemies destroy her. If Rachelle succeeds in her quest, peace will reign. If she fails, both worlds will forever be locked in darkness. I am a big Ted Dekker fan, and became a fan when I read the Circle Series. So when I heard Ted was writing more books in the Circle world, I could not wait to go back. And Dekker did not dissappoint. The only thing I don't like about this book is that I have to wait until October to get the second half of the story. Dekker is a master world builder and write interesting a complex characters. And Dekker masterfully weaves truth throu...

A Perspective

I have already mentioned my "Word of the Day" screen saver that I have on my laptop that is hooked up to the projector in my room. I am learning that the words go in cycles a bit, so the same word will pop up in several classes during the day. Today's popular word was "entitlement." A fantastic word to share with teenagers who often think they are entitled to a whole lot of stuff. In fact, we as humans often think we are entitled to a whole lot of stuff when really we are fallen people who deserve nothing but death. We so often miss how wonderful and blessed our life really is and we get caught up on the little things. This video sort of puts that in perspective in a rather humorous way. I am by no means promoting this comedian, but if you take what he says to heart, it is so true. We live in an amazing world, created by an amazing God. We really should be happy with the blessing we have been given.

American Thanksgiving

One nice thing about being from two different countries is that we can celebrate more holidays. And since there are a few more people from the states here, last night we had our own American Thanksgiving feast. There were six couples and all of the wives and two of the husbands were from the States. So the Americans out numbered the Canadians, which doesn't happen very often. And we had a feast. There was turkey, ham, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, green beans, bread, stuffing and three different kinds of pies for dessert and a pumpkin cake. It was wonderful. And the fellowship was great too. The hosts said there was no assigned seating, so the ladies all sat together at one of the table and guys at the other. It was funny how it worked out, but we had great conversations full of laughter. It was a great way to celebrate a holiday. Hopefully we have started our own tradition here.
