Nasty Nasty Bug

Okay, so the Stuff bug is still lingering around.  I did give in and buy Brandon Heath's newest album, Leaving Eden

Leaving Eden [+digital booklet] 

I was trying to listen to "Your Love" on YouTube yesterday and got sick of the song pausing in the midst of the really good parts, which is basically all of them.  It was putting a damper on my praise moves.  So I rocked out to that yesterday while I tried to clean up my bedroom, which has been a disaster zone since about Thanksgiving. 

This morning, I was praying and asking God what I should do with some birthday money that I have and there I was asking, begging for direction and it hit me, I should be asking God what God wants to talk about, not for direction on what I want to do, though I would say that it felt good to ask God what I should be doing with my time and effort, when it was put in my face how selfish I was being, it was quite sobering.  Makes me wonder how many times I've asked for direction and felt righteous doing it, without ever giving a thought to what God might really want to talk about with me.  The funny thing was that I got the impression that God just wanted to hang out, no real agenda, just be together. 

He was also kind enough to point me in the right direction for getting rid of that nasty stuff bug that's been bothering me to.

Stories from the Kitchen: Taste and See

I celebrated my birthday last weekend. It was wonderful and the leftovers left me with a question or two. Find out what they are and how I'm currently answering them in this week's podcast.

Tasty Tuesday: Roasted Broccoli

I ran across this recipe on Pinterest the other day that was labeled " The Best Broccoli Of Your Life. " I normally either steam our broccoli in the microwave or saute it with olive oil and red pepper flakes on the stove top. I decided this would be something to try. I did the salt, pepper and olive oil part of the recipe. I didn't have the majority of the other ingredients. In fact, all I had was a little bit of Parmesan  It was wonderful. Not the best broccoli of my life, but honestly, it was pretty close. And if I had the lemon juice and all that jazz, it may very well be the best. What have you been eating lately?

Sweet Caroline by Kelda Poynot

  First off, my copy of Sweet Caroline  (aff link) is not a gifted review book, I spent my well earned Amazon No-Rush Rewards money on this book. Second of all, this is not my standard close door kind of romance. Third of all, this is a really fun read. Caroline is a hard working young lady that is doing all that she can to make ends meet and to get her graduate degree. Part of that work is renting out the room above her garage. When she answers the phone of an unknown number, believing it's a future tenant, she has no idea how much her life is about to change.  The young man on the other end of that call, Hashim, is tall, dark, and mysterious in all the right ways. The story quickly moves from the girl next door falling for a stranger to a fight for their lives. And in true real life fashion, those fights aren't just with external enemies but the ones we carry within.  It's an entertaining story of Caroline and Hashim, discovering their love for each other and fighting to
