The kids were so excited to be part of Jonah's Druthers at church. Madison was Nellie (she was a Gulley washer) and Seth was The Sheriff! Ha! I absolutley loved every minute of it! So proud of my little actors, the whole cast and crew.
Here is a little of the intro to the play~
Welcome! Tonight we're putting on a little twist to the story of Jonah that will help old and young alike look at this amazing, true story from God's word in a totally fresh new way.
We'll see that our God is the only one who saves~ not because we are worthy to be saved, but because God in His mercy provides salvation. Through the Old Testament prophet Jonah, brought to life in our "wild west" setting, we help everybody see God's plan of salvation~not just for the sinners of ancient Ninevah, but for sinners here and now. Jesus, God's only son, took on our sins, dies the death we should have died, spent three days not in a fish (or even a well!), but in the grave, and rose again so that we can live with Him forever.
So hold on to yer horses and get ready for a true tale from the Good Book like you've never seen before!
Jonah should have known that when God gives a message...YOU LISTEN AND FOLLOW! I've added a couple of pics, one of the whole cast and crew and one of my two favorite cast members!
Taking full advantage of the temps in the mid 80's! Summer is coming!
My brother recently shared a recipe with me. It is like taco salad(sorta) but you use potatoes. Yum! It instantly became a family favorite!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 large baking potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch thick slices
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/2 pound ground beef
- 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 2 tablespoons water
- 8 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
- 1/4 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 small tomato, chopped
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup guacamole
Directions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
- Pour 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil into a large bowl; toss the potato slices in the oil to coat.
- Arrange the slices in a single layer on a baking sheet and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the potato slices are golden brown, about 20 minutes.
- While potato slices are baking, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat; brown the ground beef in the hot oil, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain excess grease.
- Mix the black beans into the ground beef; stir in the taco seasoning and water. Bring the mixture to a boil and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until the flavors have blended, about 10 minutes.
- Arrange the potato slices on a serving platter and sprinkle with half the Cheddar cheese.
- Top the potatoes with the meat and bean mixture; sprinkle the remaining cheese on the top.
- Spread the lettuce out over the top and garnish with tomato and dollops of sour cream and guacamole
So, I am giving it a try. Blogging, that is. I am in need of something new and different. I have no idea what I am doing or where to start but have tons of thoughts and topics swirling around. Think I will pick one and give it a go!
