Psalm 25:5 NLT

thankful Thursday no better place to be
we all have so much to be Thankful for it is hard for me
to put into a small list.

I am thankful for the much needed rain
my salvation, my freedom to read my bible
living in the USA
getting my Mary Kay page set up and working/ w/o much problems
thank you Bethe for the help.
Renee, helping tweek my blog and the new look on Bethe's
my doggies who love me unconditionally
tv to help pass the time
food in the fridge,

so many things we take for granted everyday while others struggle over
the simple things

I have lots of prayer request this week:
my dad found out he needs a defibrillator
shoulder pain (is almost getting unbearable)

safe travels to my parents as they are attending dad's 64
high school reunion tomorrow (sat)
friends needing prayer (God knows)

hope everybody has a great and blessed weekend

we will never forgett

With the 13th anniversary of the worst attack on US SOIL upon us,

We will never forget all the lives lost during this horrible time

we all came together, and became a stronger USA but now we

are all frightened once again with all the ISIS.  WE NEED TO

PRAY FOR AMERICA.

I know there is not one of us who do not

remember what we were doing, where we 

were at.  I stayed glued to the TV 

I was due to be flying on 9-11-01 at the time of the bombing from Tulsa, to San Antonio

however, due to gut feelings I changed my

ticket for Sunday.  

Call, it intuition or God telling me I needed to fly home on Sunday. 

 When 911 happened I couldnt

believe...this is the reason I came home early

GONE, BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN

How to Make Yogurt in a Crock Pot

POSTED ON 09/09/2014 BY G*L*O*W ACADEMY(RENEE)

AROUND HERE I EAT A LOT OF YOGURT ,SO THIS MORNING I PUT ON A BATCH .

I AM GOING TO MAKE SOME PLAIN YOGURT SINCE MY SON LIKES IT PLAIN,AND I WILL BE MIXING STRAWBERRIES ,AND BANANAS INTO SOME FOR ME…

SO I THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE HOW I AM MAKING IT …

YOU WILL NEED:

A CROCK POT  (I USED A 4 OR MY 6 QUART CROCKPOT)

8 CUPS OF WHOLE MILK, PREFERABLY ORGANIC, BUT IT MUST NOT BE ULTRA-PASTEURIZED.  PASTEURIZED IS FINE

1/2 CUP OF PLAIN, WHOLE MILK (NOT LOW

FAT OR FAT FREE) YOGURT, PREFERABLY ORGANIC, OR 1/2 CUP HOMEMADE YOGURT FROM A PREVIOUS BATCH

A LARGE, HEAVY BATH TOWEL

HERE IS WHAT YOU DO:

POUR THE 8 CUPS OF MILK INTO YOUR CROCK POT AND REPLACE THE LID.

PUT THE CROCK POT ON LOW FOR 2 1/2 HOURS.

TURN THE CROCK POT OFF AND LET IT SIT WITH THE WARMED MILK FOR 3 HOURS.

AFTER THE 3 HOURS HAS PASSED, GET OUT ONE TO TWO CUPS OF THE WARM MILK FROM THE CROCK POT, AND MIX IN 1/2 CUP OF THE PLAIN YOGURT INTO THE MILK, STIRRING WELL.  (I USUALLY LADLE OUT 1 CUP OF MILK RIGHT INTO MY LARGE MEASURING CUP AND MIX THE MILK AND THE YOGURT RIGHT IN MY MEASURING CUP).

POUR THIS MIXTURE BACK INTO THE CROCK POT AND STIR IT ALL TOGETHER.

REPLACE THE CROCK POT LID AND PUT YOUR HEAVY TOWEL ON TOP AND AROUND THE SIDES OF THE CROCK POT.

GO TO BED, OR LET IT SIT FOR 8 HOURS.

IN THE MORNING, THE YOGURT WILL HAVE THICKENED—IT’S NOT AS THICK AS STORE-BOUGHT YOGURT, BUT HAS THE CONSISTENCY OF LOW-FAT PLAIN YOGURT.

BLEND IN BATCHES WITH YOUR FAVORITE FRUIT. I DID MANGO, STRAWBERRY, AND BLUEBERRY. WHEN YOU BLEND IN THE FRUIT, BUBBLES WILL FORM AND MIGHT BOTHER YOU. THEY AREN’T A BIG DEAL, AND WILL SETTLE EVENTUALLY.

CHILL IN A PLASTIC CONTAINER(S) IN THE REFRIGERATOR. YOUR FRESH YOGURT WILL LAST 7-10 DAYS. SAVE 1/2 CUP AS A STARTER TO MAKE A NEW BATCH.

TOP IT OFF WITH SOME GRANOLA, OR FRUIT :-)

ENJOY

From My Heart

From My Heart

A million stars up in the sky
one shines brighter I can't deny
A love so precious a love so true
a love that comes from me to you
The angels sing when you are near
within your arms I have nothing to fear
You always know just what to say
just talking to you makes my day
I love you honey with all of my heart
together forever and never to part.
