Al's "AHH YEAH" Biscuits

Whenever we go out to eat the usual question a couple would ask each other is, "Where do you want to go?" My answers vary from McDonald's to STARA (local Indian restaurant). Al's, on the otherhand will always be, "Red Lobster". Why Red Lobster? Because he just loves those cheese biscuits! We'd go there just for the biscuits. So I told him that if I was able to make the biscuits at home would that make him happy? He responds with an, "Ahhhh yeah". I was able to find a recipe so close to the cheese biscuits you'd think you were at Red Lobster looking at the giant fish on the wall. I keep the ingredients on stock for those emergency biscuit cravings. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do:

Raising Children For The Lord

This weekend we were able to host a baby shower for my sister-in-law, Star and her new baby girl, Davniee. It was a sweet time of celebration with family and friends. I was able to read a poem that I found online. I's a sweet reminder to us as parents what our purpose is, as we raise up our children:

Raising Children For The Lord

It’s such an awesome privilege

And a big responsibility

God has given to us as parents

This wonderful opportunity

To raise our precious children

And instill into their lives

The wonder and amazement

Of the love of Jesus Christ

So they will learn to trust in Him

And worship and to pray

To love others with the love of God

And to honor and obey

As parents we’ve been entrusted

To raise them in God’s love

To be there to encourage them

When they feel like giving up

And to be there just to listen

When life deals some painful blows

And comfort them when they feel afraid

And when tears begin to flow

To share with them those joyful times

The precious moments in their lives

When doors begin to open up

And opportunities arise

Through everything they face in life

Let’s be there cheering them on

For we only have one chance at this

For childhood soon is gone

So let’s rely on Father God

To raise them to become

Men or Women who trust in Him

And in His precious Son.
