Last Sunday night at church, they showed a video from Sand Bible...which was FASCINATING to watch. I'd never heard of it before - so maybe you haven't either. They have other videos as well...check them out!

My dear, dear friend, Jamie Bennett {who used to be the Mid-Morning producer before I was hired} has started a new blog that I'm so excited about. God has given her a passion for ministering to single girls, and since I know a lot of you who read here are single and praying for a relationship, I'd really encourage you to check out her new adventure. GREAT first post!

I've never had the honor of meeting Chelsea in person, because she was away at school when I stayed with her family for a few days. Her parents were my youth pastors a "few" years ago. But I love Chelsea's heart and this blog post of hers really resonated with me.

STINKING CUTE Christmas gift I got from my co-worker, Jeri. Gingerbread M and M hot cocoa in a little plastic ornament. Be still my beating heart.

And in the world of other Christmas gifts, my friend Olivia treated me to a bottle of pure vanilla...which is one of my favorite things. I don't splurge on much in cooking. I'm a generic, cut-costs-wherever-you-can kind of girl, but pure vanilla is AMAZING. And pricey...which is why I love this so much!

Ryan and I have incorporated the word "foz" into our everyday language. So if you hear me say it sometime - you'll know where I got it!

I love me some pure vanilla. My parents got some for me in the Dominican Republic and I use it in only very special dishes :)
I think that's where this one is from as well; we can be cooking twins!
I give pure vanilla as Christmas gifts! But I don't buy it - I make it. It only takes two ingredients: grain alcohol or vodka, and vanilla beans. Cram the beans in a jar and cover with alcohol. Let steep at least a month, but the longer the better. I start it in January to give in December. Just decant the resulting liquid into smaller bottles. I even add a couple beans to each bottle, because it looks pretty, but also because you can pull out the beans and use them in a "recipe calls for whole vanilla beans" emergency.
Anonymous - INTERESTING! I had no idea you could make your own...I guess it never occurred to me how it actually gets made! Can it sit TOO long? (Fermented vanilla??)
I still have a smile on my Foz from that picture.
