Hubby and I just went to a new restaurant in town, a noodle house restaurant. Yummo! We had the fried chicken appetizer, beef stew noodle bowl and the BBQ pork & wonton noodle bowl... it was all great! The restaurant is located on Highway 150, in the Publix shopping center. Try it out.
The amazing grace of the Master, Jesus Christ, the extravagant love of God, the intimate friendship of the Holy Spirit, be with all of you. - 2 Corinthians 13:14 (The Message)
Worship last night Rocked! Not only those this scripture describe the main characteristic of God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. What was brought to light for me is that we should be having an intimate friendship with the Holy Spirit that God has given us through baptism. The Holy Spirit wants to guide us, converse with us, walk with us... he/she is our guardian. A revelation last night... So many of us can trade out the Holy Spirit for godly people. This isn't God's intent. The H.S. is a God given gift who is at our side 24/7, how special do you feel?

Life is filled with incredible possibilities, why not make choices that allow us to experience a bunch and try to help others along the way? — Annick Poirier (Illustrator)
Art is about communicating your ideas, design is about communicating their ideas. If every now and again I can do both at the same time, I consider myself lucky. — Eric Skillman (Designer)
Photography is my way of communicating what I see. I don't want to just capture images, I want to create images that empower and give voice to the subject, that engage and inspire the viewer. — Rod McLean (Photographer)
I always try to keep things as simple and as focused as possible; most of the time the answer is right in front of me. — Sara Remington
I find that if I keep things simple and don't over think, I get better pictures. And if I'm really liking what I'm making and I'm enjoying doing it, I'm usually on the right track. In other words, if I'm putting a lot of effort into something and it's just not feeling right, it's probably because it isn't. I guess that's my philosophy, to try the best I can to follow my instincts. Instinct is the only good monitor for art--or life for that matter! Great, now I'm giving life advice. This is not where I meant for this to go. — Alex Prager
A favorite quote by Soren Kierkegaard becomes more true as time goes on, "Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards." Photographs are moments captured, life frozen, to be revisited again and again. I think they may just help us to understand backwards. — Gennan Shippen (Photographer)
To do something new, thoughtful, opinionated, honest. To do it very well, and enjoy ourselves while doing it. — Paul Weeks
Since I don't have a pasta roller at this point, I found the perfect fresh pasta in the refridgerated aisle of Whole Foods. The lasagna pasta was the perfect thickness and all. It is made by Via Elisa. I took out my last bit of homemade ragu from the freezer and made another authentic Italian lasagna. It was perfect!
P.S. It only took 2 minutes to cook the pasta, after the water started boiling. How quick is that.
