Lucy and I went and walked in the park today and I sure saw a lot of pretty things just by looking up. :) I loved those big ol' tall pine trees. We had a good walk but Lucy was only good for one total lap so I only walked a mile. She saw the truck the next time we came around the bend and that was it for her. She started hopping on two legs towards the truck. She was stretching that leash as far as it would go. It was pretty funny.Sooooo....remember yesterday when I told you about my cereal tasting funny? Well, last night I got the milk out of the fridge to pour a little on the macaroni leftovers I was heating up for supper and um...it was a bit clabbered. Go ahead, dry heave a little. I'll wait...
Yeah, so the milk was clabbered and I didn't pour it in just ONE cereal because if you'll remember I poured some Raisin Bran after I dumped the Cheerios. I didn't really have time to taste the couple of bites of my Raisin Bran because of what was going on in yesterday's blog and after a couple of bites of it, it went in the garbage, too.
Now I don't know if the milk was truly what made the Cheerios taste awful or not, so I'll give it another go tomorrow. I think. I may never drink milk again. ;) Blah... Honestly though, I think there's still something wrong with the Cheerios.
One of my goals this year is to learn how to make biscuits from scratch. Have you ever heard of a southerner that couldn't make homemade biscuits? I'm so ashamed... I don't want to use Bisquick or anything like that, I want to make it completely from scratch. Anyone have any tips for me? You know the biscuits from Cracker Barrel? I like that style. Help, please?
Also, and more importantly, I'd really, REALLY like to take an online Bible study course. I feel that God is really pressing on me to read and study my Bible more. Can anyone recommend an online course, and if not, can you tell me of a good Bible study guide I could get?
I want to go to church. The thing is, is that I feel more comfortable with my one-on-one relationship with God. I would love to have a church family though, but really want to find a place to belong if I start going. I'm a member of the church on the mountain that I've gone to the most since I was a child, but it's quite a drive. I know that shouldn't matter, but with gas prices the way they are, it's just too much. Also, I want a church to go to that's close by. I have always enjoyed Wednesday night services and would like to go on Wednesdays, too.
One of the things that bothers me the most about the way I've raised my children is that I didn't have them in church. Now before any of you tell me that it's not really important, please realize that it is to ME. I should've had all of us in church. I don't know why I didn't. I know my children are saved and baptized, but I want them to have a relationship with God and I worry that they don't. That's my fault. :(
We had some pretty good storms rumble through last night. They sounded great and I enjoyed watching the lightning flash, as I always do. :) We're supposed to get more storms tomorrow but they say those might be pretty rough. I sure hope they aren't.
Have a good night. :)

the secret is when you make your batter, to roll them into a log and then cut your biscuit. Thats how you get that layered flakey awesomeness like 'the cracker'
And get a flour sifter... you must sift your flour.
I don't roll or sift, just mix those babies up, pat the batter on the counter with a little flour under there and cut little circles. Butter on the top and the pan of course, in the oven they go. and out comes yummy delish biscuits!
We are getting a LOT of rain here now... ahhh... I love the rain.
Rachel, I wasn't taken to church all my life, I started going once I got saved, after that my family started going with me and they became saved, all except my dad. We are still fervently praying for him. It is important to have your family in church and I see that your heart longs for that. I will pray that God will lead you to the right one for your family.
You have such a sweet heart my friend. I love you!

Yes, one can be a Christian without going to church, but we need some sort of accountability. It's like me and Flickr--I can't say that I find Flickr all that rewarding and fulfilling, but it keeps me shooting. As for reading the Bible more, I set a goal to study the four Gospels this year. It's ten days into the year, and I'm still on the first verse I started :( As for the biscuits, don't overwork or overhandle them. Use as little flour as you can get by with and still be able to handle the dough. And brush melted butter on them when you're baking them.
I'm going to shiloh baptist in Rossville on Sunday to visit. If you want I can swing by and pick you up!
Wow Rachel today's blog really brought out some great comments. I wasn't brought up in a church related household. My father had a dislike for church, I never knew why. I've been to several different faiths over the years and I always seem so close to the man upstairs...
well, when I am simply sitting by a pool of water in the back of my property [in the woods] and just letting my mind wander.
As for bisquits? Um. Recipies to me are like science fiction. A good read, but totally unbelievable!!!
