I love Sundays at Shiloh! The singing is always great - Chuck just knows how to get the best from everyone! The sermon today was one of Mark's best -- I truly believe it came from his heart and his desire to see no one lost!! Then the fellowship is so awesome! I love this place, everyone's desire to serve God through serving others, the sweet, sweet spirit there - and the fact that whatever you do is appreciated and you are not waiting to hear of the next criticism! Thank you God for sending us there!!!
Tonight was the second in a series of lessons Mark is calling "Labs!" He takes a young man and they sit and Mark leads him in a study of Romans about how we are all lost without the blood of Jesus. It is a "lab" to see a real study with someone and show them how although we are all sinners and there is nothing we can do to save ourselves, through faith in Jesus Christ we are saved by God's love and grace. Next week he will follow up with the necessity of baptism to come in contact with God's grace and forgiveness! Great teaching lessons!
This afternoon was a lasy sort of day with Travis and I looking at Texas Monthly's to find articles about the places we will be going to on our vacation! I've decided that if we are to climb a Texas mountain - it will have to be on horseback and then I would feel too sorry for the horses! Riding a glider over them sounds like more fun!
After church tonight we had to make the traditional Sunday night trip to Brookshires! There I saw so many Shiloh members, shared an idea for a quick dessert - have you ever eaten the fresh peaches with fresh blueberries. It is like a burst of sunshine in your mouth! I love it -- and am so thankful Travis cuts up a peach and adds some blueberries for me each morning. I dread having the season come to an end!!! After visiting with several of the members and other people I knew and going from the veggies all the way to the other side to get milk and water - it took a while. Travis said he and Michelle were about to pull a Hank Snow and be "Moving On" and leaving me!!! Hs - ha! Next week he can go spend the $40.00 and see how long it takes him!!!!
I promised on FB that I would give my old recipe version of White Bean Chili - so here is:
WHITE BEAN CHILI
3 Cans Great Northern White Beans
1 Small can chopped green chilies
1 Small onion, chopped
1 lb. Ground turkey breast, browned with onion
1 Can Rotel tomatoes and green Chilies
1 pkg. McKormick's Mild Chili Mix
2 Cloves garlic, minced or pressed
Brown turkey with a little oil (about 2 Tablespoons) in the skillet. Add onion and garlic, saute` slightly. In crock pot or large pot, combine beans, chicken broth, Rotel tomatoes, chopped green chilies, and chili mix. Add browned turkey mixture. Start on high until bubbly and then turn to low (takes 6 to 7 hours in crock pot.) I usually make it in a pot on the stove and it takes about 45 minutes to an hour.
Serve with baked tortilla chips and fat free (or 2% milk) cheddar cheese on top. Calories 155, Fat 2.25 g.
Can't beat this for a great low fat and also delicious dish!!!!!
Thanks Patty for reminding me of this recipe!
Here is one of my all time favorite salads. I first had it at Marjoree Glover's house and loved it. She graciously shared her recipe with me and I love making it!!
DOUBLE-DUTY PISTACHIO SALAD
(May be used as a salad with meats, etc. or dessert with cookies or cake!!!!!)

1-16 oz. can Chunky pineapple
1-16 oz. can crushed pineapple
1 cup shredded coconut
1 cup chopped pecans

Mix both cans pineapple with the juice and sprinkle the pudding on top of it in mixing bowl. Let mixture stand for about 3 minutes and then mix in nuts and coconut, stirring gently. Fold in marshmallows and cool whip. Refrigerate for about 2 hours before serving. It makes 2 bowls of delicous eating and can be frozen!
