Can Anything Good Come Out Of This???

I'm going to share a little secret with you. There is one thing that will send my dear husband over the edge every time he sees it. It is so embarrassing to him, that if company comes, he hides it. He takes this so seriously:

He calls these: "Rotten bananas" and he hates them!

I have tried and tried to convince him that the are not "rotten", but are just right to bake with - SEE? OOPS, I tried a little chunk to see if it was done!


Even when he is presented this:


He just can't shake the "rotten banana" phobia. But as any good wife knows, you can struggle over an issue or find a solution to it. I just keep my ripening bananas hidden and present the fruit of the labor!

Here is a tasty recipe for banana bread:
1 stick butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 to 1 cup walnuts
3 mashed ripe bananas
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg, ground cloves and allspice

Cream butter and sugar, add eggs, sour cream. In another bowl, mix flour, baking soda and spices. Mix all together and add nuts. Bake at 350 for 30 - 45 minutes in a bread loaf pan.

    Great idea! One of my friends does this and the other day she stopped by my office and asked if I had any "rotten nanners." She knows I'll bring them. I so wish I was a patient baker.

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We...

Word Filled Wednesday – Act Justly

He has shown you, O man, what is good;       And what does the LORD require of you                But to do justly, To love mercy,       And to walk humbly with your God?    Micah 6:8 Sometimes we struggle so hard with the question “What does God want us to do and be?”  This verse is a simple yet powerful reminder of some simple things that God requires of us.  Act and do justly, love mercy and walk humbly before God.  There are numerous opportunities each day to do justly, to do the right thing or to make the right choice.  We love mercy when we show kindness or mercy oftentimes to those who do not deserve it.  Walking humbly before God is acknowledging He alone is God.  He is the I AM – no one else is.  When we give Him the glory He is worthy of, it will humble our heart before Him....
