Elders, Grilled Cheese and Cross stitch

..No end of  busyness happening around here!   Tomorrow I promise a post of our Sat with lots and lots of pictures... We had a wonderful visit with lots of folks we love but I need to upload to my laptop and that hasn't been done yet..

  Today was a wonderful Sabbath... I enjoy days of examination and thought.. discussions of Christ centered things.. gives strength for anything the week might throw at you.

   awhile back we had the privilege of visiting  Hope Baptist Church   in Wake Forest.  Both Chris and I appreciated the service and fellowship we have been waiting for an opportunity to fellowship again so we pulled up the website and found what I htink is an excellent quiz for Elder requirements.. you can find it
here Today's churches seem to elect Elders by popularity instead of knowledge and qualifications.  What biblical comfort comes from having knowledgeable leadership! 

  A quick trip to the grocery store today where I literally almost plowed over Mr & Mrs Nathan Black Poor Jesse is nursing a bad foot ..nothing that won't heal in good time.  I love that couple ! Their self sufficient goals mirror so much of ours.  Scroll down to April 6  on Dr Black's blog to see their wedding.

  At home I decided to spruce up the grilled cheese with this recipe form Pioneer Woman  Oh these were so good with fresh sliced cucumbers on the side... PERFECT ( although Chris did say some meat product would have been great on there)

  Working away at so many things... I just had to share how cute I thought this cross stitch   was .  I haven't done cross stitch in awhile  but with the new cool glasses it was much easier.  Not doing the whole thing.. just a couple...

  and the picture of the day is what I saw out the back door ... they must be friends with the dogs cause they walked right past Rox & Raven and the dogs all but invited them over for coffee...so far there is enough green here and the meadow that they haven't smelled the peppers, tomatoes etc from the garden....

  ~sheesh~~

  Continue to pray for the troops..even though my child's boots are on American soil, some mama's child isn't...
    and have a fine day... all day long..
