1-And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed.
2-(And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
3-And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
4-And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)
5-To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
6-And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
7-And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
8-And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
9-And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
10-And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
11-For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
12-And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
13-And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
14-Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
15-And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.
16-And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
17-And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.
18-And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
19-But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
20-And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
Luke 2:1-20

Got goals?

It's getting to the end of the year and the beginning of the next...so it's time for new year goals. I've actually never sat down and wrote out a list with the title "new year resolutions" per se, but I kinda want to this year. I have a few ideas, but not a lot. I was wondering if you guys did resolutions and what kind of things you do.
Cheerio!

Yum Vs. Mush...

No offence to any of you who actually like oatmeal the normal way, but me personally...I have a weird emotion to Mush's texture. If any of you have seen, "Little House on the Prairie" I feel the same way Albert does on the episode "Winoka Warriors" ( I think it's that one)...ok anyway I'm rabbit trailing. Mom made this really good baked oatmeal and I'd thought I'd share it with you...so here you go.

Yum Vs. Mush- and Yum wins by a mile as Mush lags behind in it's mushyness.

---Yum's secret to it's powers---
3 cups quick cooking oats (we used regular rolled oats and they worked fine)
¾ cup sugar (we used Sucre de canne naturel (a.k.a sucanat)...and it turned out great!)
1 cup milk
⅓ cup melted butter
2 eggs
2 tsp baking powder
¾ tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350° F. Combine all ingredients in mixing bowl and mix well. Spread batter into a greased 9 x 13 pan and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.

Variations: Add 1 cup of chopped apples or other fruits or nuts. This is really good with a little milk poured over the top. You can also add additional toppings after baking as well. Do with as you please! :)


This beats regular oatmeal any day...as I'm sure that I'm lamented.

p.s. and no I don't call it "sucre de canne naturel"...I call it sucanat..I was just being mysterious...don't hold it against me. :)

Hope you all have a great week filled with awesomeness!!

Deuteronomy 8:8

We just finished watching the movie "Food inc." Whoever of you have not seem it....you should. There is some reference to evolution...but all in all it's good. It really makes you think about what you eat and how the government is so controlling. After watching this movie, great conversations emerge. :)

Have a great week!
