“When men feed on the word, it is turned into a principle of life, spiritual strength, and growth within; which a taste of it only will not give. As food, when it is digested, turns into flesh and blood and spirits, so doth the word, and Christ therein, unto the souls of men spiritually. Hence Christ becometh “our life,” and “liveth in us,” as the efficient cause of our spiritual life, Gal. 2:20; Col. 3:3; and we grow and increase by the word, 1 Pet. 2:2. A mere taste, though it may yield present refreshment, yet it communicates no abiding strength. Hence multitudes relish the word when it is preached, but never attain life, or strength, or growth by it.” (John Owen, The Works of John Owen vol. 7, 31)

That’s right. My wonderful wife Jenn made some Indian style Vegatble Curry
from a recipe found in a Southern Style magazine. Last time I was in the
South, people thought I was talking about Native American Indians when I
mentioned Indians. This wasn’t flatbread and we didn’t smoke a peace pipe
afterwards. It was some good home cooked Indian food for the first time in
the Lombardi House.
If you want the recipe, let us know. It was low fat, easy to make and
didn’t require any strange vegetables. Just some strange spices. And black
plastic spoon a little green.

We had been planning to wait for Christmas to get Matthew one of those exersaucers. Actually my mother was wanting to get it for him. However, the more I thought about it, the more I realized that now is really the best time to get it. He’s at the perfect age to enjoy it, so it’s better that we get our moneys worth out of it.

October 31st came and went. Matthew was dressed as a hunter / soldier, and we went to our church, Church on the Hill for their Fall Family Blast. Church on the Hill did a knock out job creating an entertaining, fun, and safe environment for kids. There were bounce houses, mazes, professional magic shows, melodrama’s performed by our junior high students, carnival style games where kids could win candy or prizes, a petting zoo, and food booths with favorites such as Quiznos, Churros and Italian food. As usual, Matthew had fun. Don’t forget to click the “Read More” link below to read the rest of the article.
