Quick Post
Well, I am very excited and busy trying to get packed and cooking done for the "stay-behinders"! In the morning at 5:30, we have to leave the house to get to the airport in time for our 7:30 flight to Florida. I can't wait to be on the plane with Mike. He has never done this and I think we will REALLY enjoy it. He has always been fearful of flying but I'll bet he will really like it. Shawn and Shannon have a fishing trip planned for us on Friday. And on Thursday, we will be going down to Fort Myers for a visit with the Pinkleys.
On the homefront, yesterday was a good day on the busses. Bus 5 had 45 with three first timers. Lesalie got baptized and her mom and grandmother were both in the service to see that. She is precious and I just pray that she will begin to grow and teach her little brothers what it means to be a christian.
One first timer was a young girl that came with Cheyenne. In past posts I mentioned that Cheyenne had gotten saved and baptized this year. She has kind of lost interest somewhat so I was pleasantly surprised that she got on with a friend.
Shawna has told me about her friend, Angel, over and over and I have stopped to visit her before but got Dad and not much response. So Saturday, Shawna once again told me to stop at Angels house because her mom said she had to see me first. I did and had a pleasant visit with her mom and sure enough, she rode with us and I feel sure will continue to do so. She is in the third grade and has a little two year old sister named Katilyn that was cute as a button.
At the apartments, I happened to see a little guy out that I hadn't seen before. I followed him to his apartment and met his mom who is a student and was very excited to let him ride with us. She has two grandfathers that are Lutheran ministers. I expect that he will continue to ride and he has a friend across the hall that is also a prospect.
I continue to see my teens coming and at least being attentive in church. I had gotten bibles for two girls a few weeks ago and one of them said, "Mrs. Cozart, I don't know what to do with it!" I told her she just needed to read it. Of course, you know what Satan said to me......"Well, she can't understand that!!!" And then I recognized his voice and realized that if I could understand it, so could she. There is only one way.....through the leadership of the Holy Spirit. It did really burden me to start to teach a bit more in the small time slots that we can teach, a little about each book. We do try to say the books of the bible occasionally on the bus. My mind is working and maybe on our trip I will have some time to put some things down on paper.
Well, I got my Food Saver that I have wanted for two years. It is great BUT....I can't figure out how to make TV dinners. This is what I did, though. I took the roast, potatoes and carrots from yesterday and I vacumn-packed and froze them. The main problem was the gravy. Liquid can be pulled into the motor as it is vacumning so you either have to put a paper towel in the mouth of the sack to soak up the liquid or get a better idea. I decided to freeze the gravy in an ice tray. I then took the cubes and put them in a zip lock bag so that you can take as many cubes as you like and thaw either in a pan or in the microwave for your gravy.
I vacumn-packed cornbread in small servings, Malt-o-meal muffins, rolls, cookies. I also made vegetable soup and Mexican Chicken and put it in the refrigerator for warming up. Lastly, I made Buttermilk Brownies so that Ryan will have some breakfast!
Millie has been pretty down in the dumps. I think she senses we are leaving and she is staying with Grandma. When Ryan walked in she perked up. I suppose she thinks the time won't be too bad.
Well, gotta go pack. Just wait til I get back with my new tan!!!(Anyone who knows me, knows that is a joke!!)
