There are harvest wheat and chocolate chip yet. And way too much cream cheese. Why do I always do that? I don't know.<br /><br />Any good random recipes for using veggie or berry cream cheese? I mean, I know I could just buy more bagels, but doing something more creative sounds more fun to me.

Congregation really enjoyed sgaring with each other their favourite idea of retreat - and it added a good 7 or 8 mins to sermon time! I love these people. Hope lots of you feel energised by worship today - and Songbird, love your "parting words". Wish I'd had the wisdom to share just some of that as I left my last church, but I'm afraid I was too bitter. I hope its a blessing for you and them.

Not that I would have gotten this at Contempo Church.

My desire is to be kind, to remember even though I was not treated well all the time that they are children of God, to serve as God asks, and to be freed up to go visit and learn wherever I can.

Also, I NEED sleep - - not nearly enough last night after seeing a fine production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and then wine and dessert with my husband, and then staying up too late on Facebook before waking up at 5:15 a.m. to see the youth group kids off on their mission/backpacking trip.
