UP

You lovers of the English language might enjoy this: There is a two-letter word that perhaps has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that is 'UP' It's easy to understand UP meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP ? At a meeting, why does a topic come UP? Why do we speak UP and why are the officers UP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report? We call UP our friends. And we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver; we warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house, and some guys fix UP the old car. At other times the little word has real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses. To be dressed is one thing, but to be dressed UP is special. A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP. We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night. We seem to be p

Love

1 Corinthians 13:4-13 Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends; as for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. For our knowledge is imperfect and our prephecy is imperfect; but when the perfect comes, the imperfect will pass away. When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became a man, I gave up childish ways. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall understand fully, even as I have been fully understood. So faith, hope, love  abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love. <3 How many times do we read this verse and just skim over it b

gluten-free cookies

The other afternoon I got a hankerin for some cookies, and since i'm the only one at home who eats gluten-free the only I could get some was to make them myself! Though I wasn't so sure if i could pull the off....i'm still kinda new to making gluten-free food, and just about every other thing i've tried has failed the first time. Pancakes? watery as soup. Waffles? thicker than cookie dough. Other cookies? didn't taste quite as expected. so I was a little wary coming into. But they turned out GLORIOUS! :D I was SO happy! So, hey. if I can do them, so can you. If you are new to maknig things with rice flour, just to warn you, the rice flour has it's own special flavor, but it is still really good! Also if you want these cookies the same day you make them (if that makes any sense xD) make sure you have enough time. (the dough has to sit in the fridge for 2 hours before you bake them) Here's the link to the
