My Snow Cream Recipes

Yummy Snow Ice Cream Recipe! The 'brrrr' of winter was made more bearable by this sweet treat of nature's bounty known as snow cream, or snow ice cream. As a child, one of my favorite pastimes was to venture the cold of new snow, gather this fresh fallen white delight, bring the treasured clean snow to Mom, and watch her perform her magic. Delicious, refreshing and exciting it was. You might say that Snow Ice cream was the wizardry combination work of mother nature and my stay at home mother to make this mother of all winter treats.

Snow Ice Cream This site gives several of my favorite snow ice cream dessert recipes, and I hope you enjoy them!

Bible Study of the Party Pooper – The Elder Chap with a Chip

Bible Study of the Party Pooper – The Elder Chap with a Chip

I invite you to take a journey with me for a short devotional on the elder son in Luke 15. My latest article!

A Time For Celebration!

There is a jingle about counting your blessings, which we all need to do as a daily practice:

Count your blessings, name them one by one,
Count your blessings, see what God hath done!
Count your blessings, name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.

As I sit in my office this morning and do this reckoning, this chorus leads me to rejoicing. Rejoicing transforms the hour of devotions to a heavenly celebration and a holy thanksgiving. Indeed, I sense a ‘party’ spirit, and I choose to start my day in festive gala. This is the day the Lord has made; I am going to rejoice in it.

Don't be a (heavens) party pooper! Like the elder son!

Lucille Ball - We Still Love Lucy!

Lucille Ball - We Still Love Lucy!

Three reasons to love Lucille Ball

1. She was funny
. - THINK ABOUT IT!

Her humor was clean.
The whole family could watch it together or separately.
She was clown and the whole world loves a clown.
She enabled us to laugh at ourselves.

2. She was lovable.

For example, there was the night when Lucille Ball gave birth to Little Ricky on the "I Love Lucy" The show was the top rated show on TV for a decade. More people watched that occurrence"Lucy" than watched President Eisenhower's inauguration the next day. So much news and politics is "heavy." We need a counterbalance, something funny that make us all feel part of the human family. Lucy was one of those breaks. For a reference here you might want to read - Why Americans Hate Politics - By Keith Boykin.

3. She was strong

Lucille Ball was best identified for her job as the silly housewife in the I Love Lucy tv show. Little recognize her as the tough secure women she was when she was off stage. In the "I Love Lucy" show she was this classic charade of a goofy housewife that didn't do anything right, but she wasn't. Although she actually was married to Desi Arnaz, and some of the problems were aired in minor part on the screen, she wasn't the klutz she played. This was her expected, typical woman's role on a TV show back in the 50's.
