For the love of garlic

Garlic is so awesome. You would think that perhaps too much of a good thing would be a bad thing. But with garlic this is never true. Take, for example, a dish called "Roasted Chicken with 40 Cloves" in which you stuff the cavity of a roasting chicken with 40 cloves of garlic. I am not even kidding. After you take the garlic out of the chicken you spread it on bread. Its like buttah.

Take, for example, Loretta's Penne Pasta with Garlic, Olive Oil, and Tomato Sauce which I am about to eat right now. You can probably smell it where you are sitting. If you came to our house you could smell it about a block away. Again, not even kidding. Ciao!

Such a buzz

Well, the missionaries are back and we were all together again yesterday for worship and the Word. Even though we all didn't get the opportunity to go to India, there is such a buzz in the air that we instantly realize that we are connected to what has happened over there. We are being built up on the inside just by hearing the stories and being near them.

Their faces radiate and there is a real tangible sense of the presence of God coming off of them.

What an awesome thing to be a part of. "How lovely on the mountains are the feet of them who bring good news."

Welcome home to all!

nothing

I think I need to learn how to put pictures on my blog. I mean, Tami has pictures, Loretta has pictures, Jeff has pictures, Bianca has pictures...Lex has moving pictures...(that's dinosaur talk for "YouTube" 'n such).

The big issue is, I don't take pictures so they would just be ones that I download from Office of families and children none of us know. But it would be better than whining all the time. Oops! Sorry, I'm whining about whining.

Hey, a guy from Portugal commented on my blog. His name looked familiar and so did his face, a little, but I don't think I know him. Can he do that? (I wonder if this is one of those "spin-off" bloggers that is coming in through the back door of Tami's blog. You know, that thing about, "now everybody in the whole world will be able to see your spot..." It happened right after I read the email, too. Hmmmmmmmmm.)

Anyway, here is a cool picture of nothing in particular. Oh, I forgot, I don't know how to put pictures on here, but I'll get the hang of it. Dinosaurs, unlike old dogs, can learn new tricks.
