Sad to say Monica but I don't have much to say so I just don't say anything.  I can brag on rita and Teresa though.  They came over to help me strip the wax from my floors in the DR and kitchen and put new wax.  We started yesterday at 8:30 and finished about 3:30.  It looks sooooo good.  Sure wish Danny could've seen it.  I have had the stripper and wax for 4 years and kept telling him I was going to do it and never did.  Looks like new floors.  We of course had to take all the furniture out and I am here to tell ya that those two can move about anything.  While it was all out we of course didn't miss the opportunity to rearrange stuff.  I am going to take pictures and put up.  They came back this morning to help me put everything back.  Next week I am going to tackle my carpets and shampoo them if the weather is warm.  After we finished moving furniture today we went to Alta for lunch and  boy was it good.  We even had time yesterday to squeeze in Madea goes to Jail while the floor dried. I haven't started looking for a job yet but will soon before the end of the year.  I am babysitting a couple days a week for Sybil and that sure fills my day!  Aaron and Andrew are trying to get the hang  of the potty!  All I can say is there is never a dull moment with those two!
We did have an armed and dangerous man loose in Rupert last night.  He was actually up the road that shawn and Kelly live on. He apparently robbed a bank in roanoke yesterday and how in the world he ended up in greenbrier county is a mystery to me but they caught him this afternoon and to my knowledge there was no one hurt.
Please continue to say a prayer for me and the kids.  I miss danny so much....I can't say that it has gotten easier because it hasn't.  Everything I do or see  reminds me of him.  The tears come often and the heartbreak is deep and I don't know how one gets over that or if they do
Love to all
Trish

Monica, You are too funny.  I AM going to make this, I have the peppers out of my garden and I cooked the beans, But I need to get some celery.  I think I have eaten it before but I'm sure I will like it.  I guess everybody is just busy or have nothing to say.  Our high here today is going to be 63 degrees.  Whoo Hoo.  I'm thinkin' it is time to build the fire in the basement.

So, I'm guessing the recipe made everyone sick or yal are just way to busy to be chatting ;)  Where is everybody???  Helloooooooooo.............

My friend made this for supper tonight and it was good. Put me in mind of chow-chow or relish. I hadn't heard of it before.  It would be great with pintos!!

Kraut Salad

1 c. drained sauerkraut

1 c. diced celery

1/2 c. diced green & red peppers (combined, for color)

1/2 c. chopped onions

1 1/4 c. sugar (or less)

1/4 c. cooking oil

1/4 c. vinegar

1/4 tsp. salt

*Mix all together, cover, and put in fridge for 5 hours or overnight

My friend thought 1 1/4 cup of sugar was too much so she used 3/4 cup. She also diced up a little red onion and added for color.

Food for Thought - What If God Said Yes?

James 4:2-3 ". . . Yet you do not have because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures."

Ideas, Thoughts and Encouragement on Prayer
from Cynthia Bezek and Friends

"What If God Said Yes?

"A friend posed a question last week that has challenged me ever since:  'what if God said "yes" to every prayer we prayed today?  Would our neighbors or neighborhoods or nation notice?  Are we praying radically?'  That profound question came from prayer leader Phil Miglioratti over Facebook.  I hope it's niggling at his other Facebook friends the way it's niggling at me!

"I thought about the things I'd talked with God about that day.  All good things.  Important things.  I asked Him to intervene in the needs of friends, family members, people at church, folks at work, people I minister with and to.  I know He cares about each person and need I discussed with Him.

"Yes, maybe people around me would be changed and take notice if God answered the prayers I prayed today, I thought.  But I could be asking so much bigger!  So much more!  Lord, give me Kingdom-sized prayers that You are just longing to answer!

"Since I read Phil's question, I've been praying a bit differently.  I still pray my heart concerning the needs that are nearest to me, the people I care about the most.  But then I ask God to help me look beyond my own front yard, as it were, and to see the bigger world that my prayers can impact.

"It's been a good challenge for me.  So now I pass it on to you:  What if God said 'yes' to every one of your prayers today?  How much would change?  Want to join me in praying more radically?"
