“In the media today, the Christian media, there’s too much triffling with God, too much slapstick, too much triviality. There aren’t enough tears. There isn’t enough seriousness. The Joy has a light silly flavor to it. Not the kind of flavor that out to be there when you have suffered and died with Jesus. We ought to be calling the world to a kind of joy which has tears on it’s face and can walk through dark valleys. Instead of trying to sound like the silly banter of primetime, drive time, world.”

I’ve heard of people having tricks for making their cookies a special way. Alton Brown on the Food Network had some tricks for modifying the Toll House recipe to make thin crispy, thick, or chewy. I started a forum discussion that has the tricks he used. You can download the recipes in PDF format. Just go to the forum. Please post your tricks for everyone to see. Now is definitely the time of year to bake some special treats.

Our church “Church on the Hill” is having a “safe and sane alternative to
Holloween”. Dress up in costume, have dinner, coffee, desserts, play in the
bounce houses or other games, and do some “trunk or treating”. Someone made
a genereous donation so that this event is free for all. Jenn and I plan to
go with Matthew dressed up in his camo outfit.

He reached out to the keyboard to type out a special message to all of you. It’s baby talk for, “I’m amazed at all this technology, I love you all.”

Matthew was in the heat of battle when he was tripped by the enemy and fell to the ground. The outfit he’s wearing is a one of a kind camoflauge outfit made by Moma Lynn in Alabama. The pants are reversible, with trucks, etc on the other side.
