pouffs = love at first taste

Pouffs - a tragedy/love story

Once upon a time there were some lonely ingrediants :( so they all decided to jump in to a bowl and run around, then they got all mixed up and went into the oven! When they came out they were all pouffy and stuck together. So some other hot and thin ingrediants, who were melting in a pot, decided to walk all over the pouffs, but got stuck. Then a giant [human] came and saw the pouffs with the caremal sauce, it was love at first taste! The human gobbled them up very quickly. The End!! 

Pouffs... like a pancake, but pouffy, you make it in the oven and it's way better! Heres the recipe, and you have to make the caremal sauce also [to get the full effect]

Crystal Clear

As I'm running through tall green blades of grass the sun shining down on me, casting playful shadows across the ground. A slight crisp breeze floats through the air giving a refreshing break from the heat of the day. I slow my pace as I edge to the top of the hill and smile at the sight that awaits me. I give way to a moment of serenity, but then gaze upon a beautiful fountain flowing down into a pool of water. I near the pond and without a second thought I jump out into the water. It's invisible arms capture me and I am breathless. I swim away from it's grasp up to the top of the water I follow the light waiting, waiting for that air, that relief from this burning inside of me! And then in that last moment of torture I break through the top of the water and inhale that wonderful, beautiful, crystal clear air.

New Year

Happy New Year! Ah, I just love new years time to start fresh [and get on a good schedule]. I have just started a 31 day devotional, for the month of January. It's nice to have a book that plans out what your going to read, then some questions for you to answer. I guess I'm a schedule girl, I like to have things planned out then I know exactly what to do and when! Well since I'm starting this new year by challenging myself to read the bible every day, what about you? What are you doing to grow in your relationship with God? I encourage you to make a Bible reading plan [Proverbs is great, that's what I'm reading] and stick to it! If you miss a day, so what you can catch up. Just try it, Proverbs is a book about wisdom and it never hurts to be wise!
