Camping and S'mores

Every Labor Day weekend, we go camping at Wallowa Lake

State Park in Oregon. I don't know about you, but I love camping

and, of course, if you go camping you must enjoy s'mores.

It's the best part : )

I found a recipe on Pinterest for homemade graham

crackers so I thought I would give it a try.

You start out with flour, brown sugar, baking soda

and salt (I forgot to get a picture of that)

And then you add honey, milk, vanilla

and butter to the mixture...

It starts to look crumbly like the picture below...

Here is the honey and milk mixture before I added

it to the rest of the dough....

I love my stand mixer :) It makes baking so easy...

Here is a picture of the dough once it all starts

to come together....

Now for the fun part, you get to roll out the dough

like you would if you were making sugar cookies...

I use a square cookie cutter so they are all the same

shape. No guess work on trying to get them even

that way.

You want to poke holes in them with a fork or

toothpick so they look like real graham crackers...

Here is a picture of the finished product (sprinkled with

cinnamon sugar). I made some plain and some

I added the cinnamon sugar to them.

Now you are all ready to add your marshmallows and

chocolate and enjoy a s'more :)

Miracles and Faith

Have you seen miracles in your lifetime? I have and without a doubt I’ve known it was only God’s grace and Him performing that miracle that the situation changed. I have been raised in the church and have seen many different miracles throughout my lifetime, but one of the more recent ones was when my youngest son was born. He was born at 30 weeks but had quit growing at 28 weeks gestation. He was only 2 pounds and 5 ounces when he was born. Now, I know that science and the medical field did everything they could, but I also know that it is a true miracle that he is alive today because there is only so much that humans can do on their own. It is a miracle that I survived that pregnancy also. I remember being at Heaven’s gates the night before my son was born. I was on bed rest in the hospital for 12 days before my son was born. That is one of the hardest things to go through when you have another child at home that you can’t be there to take care of them. I know that I know tha

Impossible!!!

1 Peter 1: 7-9 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: 8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: 9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. What is your impossible situation? What is your I need a miracle situation? I heard these lines in a song recently and it got me to thinking about how sometimes situations in our lives seem so impossible and out of control. We just don't know what to do about it or what to think about that situation. I read the above scripture in 1 Peter last week and it got me to thinking about how gold is refined by going through fire, diamonds are mined from deep within the earth. We wouldn't have the beautiful jewelry and precious metals that we have without the trials of g

Mustard Seed Faith

With Easter coming up soon I have been thinking about the Cross of Jesus. Most people know what the cross stands for, no matter what religion or non-religion that people have, but I have been thinking about the fact that we can lay our burdens down at the foot of the cross. Now, I have heard that phrase throughout my life, but lately I have really been pondering it. Do we ever truly lay our burdens down at the feet of Jesus and leave them there? My family has had a lot of health issues lately and sometimes it can be a struggle to have the faith to get through situations that you have no control over. My mom and I recently were talking about how we are the type of people who always want to control a situation or at least to be able to problem solve when something goes wrong. It is so difficult to sit back and know that there are no solutions to some problems. However, I know that with the faith of a mustard seed, God can still change the outcome. Have you ever seen a mustard see
