Alone with cookies

I am making chocolate chip cookies right now. Each batch takes ten minutes to cook. So I am using my 10 minutes wisely by playing on the computer, listening to a sermon, reading a blog, and now writing on my blog. A lot can happen over ten minutes.

Two days ago one of my trainers asked me to make her kids some cookies. She doesn't have an oven. So I said I would. She will be here tomorrow so I have to get them ready. Some of the problems with making cookies in 110 degree weather is that the chocolate chips melt before they get baked, I sweat and the oven heats up the house. But I made a promise.

I have a very small oven also. I can make 9 mini cookies at a time. And after each batch is done I have to make sure they taste okay, so I eat one. That means 8 cookies are ready every ten minutes. This could take a long time.

No one else is home right now. They are all at a friends house for dinner. Steve went to pick up Micah from a friend's house and they invited him to stay. I could have taken a auto rickshaw to their house to join them but I had just started the cookies, so I stayed home. Dangerous situation. Alone with the cookies. And it is dinner time and I have nothing else to eat (that is as good). So I eat the cookies.

Hot town!

Of course you have heard me complain about the heat lately. This will be a regular thing for the next couple of months. I looked on CNN weather page to see just how hot it was and it said at midnight that it was "99 and dreary". So true. We are thankful for electricity and air conditioners. When I do aerobics I turn the a/c on and it makes it bearable. You would think that the fat would just melt off. The problem is that ice cream is so cold and refreshing. Then there are mango shakes. yum.

Redeemed

Psalm 49:7-8 “No man can by any means redeem his brother.  Or give to God a ransom for him.  For the redemption of his soul is costly.” It is an amazing thing when someone comes to faith in God.  Last night I got to witness my brother in-law give his life to Jesus.  His life was redeemed.  The ransom for his soul was paid by Jesus long ago, but yesterday he was set free. My brother in-law was in darkness.  He knows his life was full of darkness and demonic presence.  He has been hearing about Jesus for years and knew that if he ever decided to become a follower that he would do it completely, not half heartedly.  He finally saw that he needed Jesus.  So yesterday he prayed a beautiful prayer acknowledging his need to get rid of the darkness in his life and knowing he can’t do it on his own.  Jesus filled his life.  My brother in-law said he felt something leave.  It was the darkness.  Jesus has filled his life...

The Party

Last night I went to Allison's (sis in-law) batchlorette party. It was at a mexican restaurant/bar. It was a very crowded place so we weren't able to get a big table all together. Allison and her girl friends were at one table and the old folks (me and others) were at our own table (feeling awkward). Allison showed up at the place drunk already, from a bit too many drinks in the limo. I thought it would be embarrassing to be around your mother in-law to-be and your grandmother in-law to-be, but she didn't seem too worried about it. Allison wasn't a bad drunk really. She was a little loud, but not obnoxious. I felt old. I had a new dress on, but I ended up looking like an old lady instead of a young thing. I had some nice shoes on too. But my purse, which looked fine at home, turned into an old lady purse. It was also cold out, so I had a shawl. I'm glad I had it but it just added to the old lady look. I don't drink for two reasons. First, I am che...
