...a peek into our Bible lesson....
Tonight, at bedtime, we read from the book of James:
James 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
James 2:11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.
James 2:12 So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
James 2:13 For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath showed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.
James 2:14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
James 2:15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
James 2:16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
James 2:17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
James 2:18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith without thy works, and I will show thee my faith by my works.
James 2:19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
James 2:20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
James 2:21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
James 2:22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
James 2:23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
James 2:24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
Highlights:
-if we offend one point in the law, we've broken the entire "law"
-if we hope to receive mercy, we should deal with others in mercy
-if your brother or sister have a need, if you have the means to help, you should
(help younger siblings tie their shoes, give them a drink if they ask you, play with them if you aren't doing anything...and we pointed out things that the children new we had done for others...not to brag, but to show by example being careful to remind them to keep quiet about others needs and don't allow one hand to see the other when giving)
-the devils believe in God, over 90% of Americans believe in a 'god', but to believe in God is not enough and the demons are proof
-the father of faith=Abraham was not justified by faith- his justification came when he did a "work"
-'justification' is made complete by 'works'; faith alone is not full justification
*******
It is very convicting to examine one's works.
But it is more important now than ever to do so.
We are living in a time where "sin" is not even preached in some churches, much less 'not measuring up'.
We're being taught that God is "love love love" but His justice and wrath are shunned.
We cannot have part of Him, nor can we recreate Him.
We must look to His Word to learn who He really is!
May God bless you and your homes, as you seek to search His word, and truly know Him!

Know what this is?
Any foraging naturalists out there?
We spent a little time discussing what could be eater from the yard the other day...fun fun!
Orange Rind Candy...
You can use any citrus fruit to do this with, the original recipe called for grapefruit!
I knew I would not even come close to getting my kids to try that so, I opted for orange!
-wash fruit!
I used 3 small-medium oranges and turned out the insides.
Then I slivered the peelings.
Boil in lightly salted water, drain.Then I brought to a boil 1/2 cup of sugar
and 1cup of water.
Once sugar is dissolved and mixture is boiling hot, drop in slivers and reduce heat slightly.
Cook until mixture has been well-absorbed, then roll in granulated sugar and place on wax paper. Cool and eat! Yummy!
LEMON OATMEAL BREAD......
I found this wonderful recipe in book from the library simply titled "Grains". (with a couple of teeny changes)
Makes for a bit of a dry bread, and to the crumbly side, but oh so good!
1.5 cups plain flour
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
2 t baking powder
1/4 t salt
1 stick of butter
3/4 cup cane sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
zest of one lemon
Lemon Syrup Topping:
1/4 c water
3T cane sugar
3T fresh lemon juice
(I prefer to double this!)
Preheat oven to 350. Butter loaf pan.
Cream butter and sugar, blend in eggs until smooth.
Add remaining ingredients, folding in walnuts and zest last.
Spread in bread pan and bake 55 to 69 minutes.
Mix ingredients for syrup and heat to boil in small sauce pan and remove from heat.
When bread is done, poke it several times with toothpick and pour syrup over bread. Allow to stand at least ten minutes and turn out onto serving plate. Let cool and cut!
**You could use any citrus fruit!
Playing in pickles....
I only have one cucumber plant that survived "the flood" at the beginning of spring.
Therefore, I likewise have few cukes!
Not surprisingly, my kids aren't exceptionally fond of plain ole cukes, so I tried my hand at pickling a few. My goal: just to see if the kids would eat some home-pickled pickles!
So, I gathered a few recipes and sorta worked a little from all of them!
I soaked the sliced cukes in (pickling) lime water, overnight, then drained and rinsed, and packed in ice for 4 hours.
Thereafter, I drained them, stuffed them in the jars and made "pickle (ing) juice".
I wanted to try sour because, well, this is a silly-dilly bunch!
So, I heated the following (approximates) in a pot to pour over the cukes:
about 3 cups vinegar
1.5 to 2 cups of water
about 1/4 cup salt
bay leaves
(dried) hot peppers- 3
5 slivered cloves of garlic
mustard seeds
peppercorns
and to a steeping bag (added during heating and removed):
ginger, dash of cinnamon, allspice, cloves, coriander, ground mustard, etc (well, I may have forgotten something)
I simmered this mix for a couple of minutes and then poured over the sliced cukes in the jars.
You can then process to seal or allow them to sit and cool and place in the refrigerator after cooled. ...and believe it or not, they were a hit, even with picky kidddy!
Catching up...
Boy am I running behind around here!
I've taken some time for some fun lately and some time for dealing with important matters around here. We've had a couple of birthdays and we've had some tough days too! My DH had some close calls with his mother, we've lost a vehicle (gulp!), but we've learned how to play Skip-bo and badminton! I've got to "moonlight" on another place and write to my heart's content! And we've read a few books...well, more than a few!
But, I've got tons of pics and recipes that I don't know if I'll ever get typed up!
...and a few things, I have forgotten how I made them, sigh...
But, I'm trying to start rounding everything back up and prepare a new schedule for school and all, what fun....now, let's see if I can begin to TRY to catch up! :-)

Leg of Lamb...
Remember me telling the tale of how I got two legs of lamb at $10 each? Well, it was very hard on me to dig it out and finally cook it...I have this frugal thing in me that makes me want to "save" everything! ...and well, I kept holding out thinking some special occasion would come up and I would cook it then....but...alas, and ordinary day requested its presence! :-)I didn't thaw it well before I cooked it, so I put it in the oven for about 3 hours before getting the leeks, potatoes, and carrots ready.
I covered it in a sauce made from:
about 1/4 cup spicy mustard, 1/4 cup white cooking wine, about 3 T fish sauce (or you can use Worcestershire sauce).
Then I sprinkled very generously with the following:
rosemary, thyme, tarragon, parsley, ground mustard, fresh ground black pepper, sea salt, and several cloves of chopped garlic and onions.
I baked it at 350 for about 3 hours and then added the veggies.
I cut the heat back to 325 and baked for 2 more hours. It was falling off the bone and very juicy and tender!***
Oh how I love lamb!
After dinner, I pulled the bones out, covered them well with water and added about a quarter cup of apple cider vinegar and cooked them for several hours.
I will turn them back on as soon as I get up and cook for several more. I will then remove the bones, and add the leftover lamb, chopped, along with diced leftover veggies. I will then add cooked garbanzo beans or lentils, barley, onions, etc. To make a wonderful soup!
The last time I cooked a big leg of lamb like this, we had lamb stew for like 5 days!
Worth every cent of that ten bucks!
And it just doesn't get any better than lamb!
(DH loved it! He said it was similar to a roast yet almost had a pork flavor.)
Who says you can't eat high on the hog on a budget?
...or rather high on the lamb!

God bless our Land!
It should be the highest ambition of every American to extend his views beyond himself, and to bear in mind that his conduct will not only affect himself, his country, and his immediate posterity; but that its influence may be co-extensive with the world, and stamp political happiness or misery on ages yet unborn.
"My ardent desire is, and my aim has been, to comply strictly with all our engagements, foreign and domestic; but to keep the United States free from political connections with every other country, to see them independent of all and under the influence of none."
Occupants of public offices love power and are prone to abuse it.
Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.
May the father of all mercies scatter light, and not darkness, upon our paths, and make us in all our several vocations useful here, and in His own due time and way everlastingly happy.
George Washington

In Memory.....Brother Chris
With shock and a heavy heart, I ask for prayers for this family.
I have mentioned them only briefly here and to some of you, as their country of residence was not "free".
With their hearts full of love and their hands ready for service, they went to Mauritania. They went into this country as aid workers. They sincerely wanted to help the people of Mauritania.
Chris left Mauritania last week- and went to see our Lord.
He leaves behind, a lovely wife, Jackie, and his four beautiful children.
Again, will you pray for this family? To read more:
Here is an article from their hometown's paper.
Here is one from BosNewsLife
And here is a tribute from the funeral directors.
PLEASE NOTE: the last link and the link at VOM have an address listed where you can write or, if you feel led, to send gifts to Jackie and the children.
*******************
Mat 22:9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.
Mat 22:9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.

Update: CBN has a new post up to honor Brother Chris.
Here is an update was posted on the condition of their city.
Please continue to pray for them.
