BABY GRACE

Number four grandchild. I wonder how many I can love? Silly question.

POWERS OF 10

Check out this video. It's been around for awhile, but needs to be viewed once or twice a year just to keep life in perspective. It reminds me of what David Needham used to say about God's attributes--that what we know about God is only what he has chosen to reveal to us about himself.

RICE AND BEANS MONTH

March is Rice and Beans month. We participate every year in cooperation with Lahash.org. It's a great way to bring your perspective of food back into line with reality. It raises money to buy rice and beans for the vulnerable in Africa. We do it by donating the amount of money we save by not eating our traditional American fare. I can't think of a better way to keep our brothers and sisters in Africa on our mind. Now that the month is over, it is back to traditional food. However, it has given me a love for various rice and beans recipes that I did not have previously. Everyone is invited to participate at whatever level they feel comfortable. Lin and I made it our main evening meal. (We were limited in the last part of the month by some traveling.) Others do it for two or even three meals each day. You can add seasoning and vegetables to taste. We try to avoid adding meat, since they don't have the privilege of eating a lot of meat in East Africa. I am already looking forward to next year!
