Here are 2 recipes I want to try.

This recipe is a different way of cooking the crepe and it's contents.

"On this day of your life, we believe God wants you to know ... that worry often gives a small thing a big shadow.Worrying, you get stuck going over the same things over and over again without making any progress. Instead, spend some time with nature to calm your mind and feed your soul." -Via God Wants you to Know AppChelsea Merkleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14999288594106215077noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-540928308955839484.post-25374197215069249512012-07-27T18:31:00.001-07:002012-07-27T18:32:23.129-07:00As a Man Thinketh VideoInspirational Quotes from James Allen

I was hesitant to go at first because there are 10 fires burning in our state right now.
Luckily, our neighbors were very smart and had a hose and buckets of water to put all the fireworks in when done.
They also had a police line that they put up, no one was allowed on the sidewalk or street to watch.

Life is Hard.
Life is Challenging and sometimes it hurts to be alive.
Love fills holes in our souls.
Charity fulfills the joyous moments we want to celebrate in our lives.
One minute we may be happy, the next we may feel sad.
Tomorrow is a new day and there are always opportunities for positive enhancements in our everyday lives.
