Baseball Season is Here

Cubs baseball is on the air is what we will hear @ 2:20 pm (EST), Friday April 1, 2011 on WGN radio. 
It's seems like a long extremely cold winter in the Midwest, and even though the weather outside isn't reflecting it properly, it is spring time and baseball season is here.


Hey Chicago what do  you say? Cubs are going to win today. Go Cubs go, Go Cubs go.

For all you Cub fans out there lets say it together; GO CUBS!

Springtime in Indiana

 Springtime in Indiana is finally here. The flowers are starting to pop up. I am so excited.

  As for man, his days are like grass;
         As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.

Psalm 103:15 (New King James Version)

Gluten-Free Pumpkin Cake Doughnut Recipe

People with Celiac disease or gluten-intolerance can sometimes feel left out and deprived when it comes to eating.

I have found that taking most of your favorite recipes can be revamped and become gluten-free.

I did find in our local Amish store here in Northern Indiana, Bob's Red Mill all-purpose Gluten-free flour.The biggest draw back with baking is all-purpose gluten-free flour is so much more expensive than regular all-purpose flour, but for the gluten intolerant it is worth it. Here is my latest recipe for Gluten-free pumpkin cake doughnuts, I hope you enjoy it.

1 Corinthians 10:31, KJV, Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

Delicate Snow Drops

Winter in Indiana is hanging on for it's dear life. My family is ready for Spring and all the sunshine warmth and flowers it brings.

Today it was 40 degrees F, we had sunshine but the wind makes it feel so much colder. I had a hard time getting pictures as the winds were blowing them around. Snow drops are pretty but so small and delicate.

Homemade Cracker Recipe For the Daniel Fast

Practicing the denial of certain food comes with Lent and the Easter season. The Daniel fast is a very popular way of restricting the diet and remaining healthy. Finding or making recipes that follow the Daniel diet is not hard; it is just a change of habit. Make homemade crackers to snack on will follow this bill. 

Daniel 1:12-15 (NLT) “Test us for ten days on a diet of vegetables and water,” Daniel said. “At the end of the ten days, see how we look compared to the other young men who are eating the king’s rich food. Then you can decide whether or not to let us continue eating our diet.” So the attendant agreed to Daniel’s suggestion and tested them for ten days. At the end of the ten days, Daniel and his three friends looked healthier and better nourished than the young men who had been eating the food assigned by the king.

Beautiful Unknown Spring Flower

Spring is finally here in Indiana. Although it is a very grey sky and gloomy day, it is 52 degrees. I simply keep reminding myself rainy days like this makes for lovely Spring flowers.

The last couple of years we have had this unknown flower, and unfortunately only one, show up in our flowerbed. We would love more but have no clue what it is or where it came from.

If you know the name of this lovely unknown flower please leave us a comment with the name. If you live in Northern Indiana and know where more can be purchased we’d love that information too.

Luke 12:27-28 (NIV)

“Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.  If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you—you of little faith!
