Greek Chicken

John got this recipe from a co-worker (Jackie) awhile ago. It is so yummy, so I thought I would share it. Let me know if you try it and like it.

1. 2 large boneless/skinless chicken breast cut into bite size - (some times I leave them whole)
2. 2 tbs.. spicy brown mustard
3. 2 tbs. olive oil
4. 4 cloves chopped/pressed garlic
5. 2 tbs. fresh lemon juice
6. 1/2 cup pitted and chopped kalamata olives
7. 1/2 cup feta cheese (I use low-fat feta from Trader Joe's)

Combine ingredients 1-5 in an oven safe dish. Bake at 375 degrees until chicken is done

(I usually cook it for one hour. But I check on it at 45 min.)

Remove from oven and stir in olives and cheese. Let sit for a few minuets and serve!

You can serve this over rice with a veggie to make a complete meal.

One time I made a Greek salad with the left overs....ummm so good and pretty healthy too!

* Trenton stopped having seizures (last one was in Feb. 09)Thank you Jesus!

* Refuge Sanger became a church (Dec. 09) It has been so neat to be apart of Gods work here in Sanger. Please keep us in your prayers.

God has been so faithful and has shown us His grace over and over again this year! I am so thrilled to see what He has in store for us in 2010!

Too long!

My Computer doesn't seem to like my blog very much. Whenever I try to update my blog my computer either freezes or takes forever to load (and then I give up). Anyway, I figure it has been way to long so I need to try to update this thing before I completely give up on it forever.

Here is a few updates:

Trenton lost his 2 front teeth and tells me his really misses them. He usually says that at dinner time :)

Connor was born! He is so cute!

Our Thursday night Bible study is moving to Sunday Mornings! Refuge Sanger will now be an official church! We are starting Dec. 6th!

Things are insane now that school is in full swing, but I hope to do some updates soon. So much to share - Moving into a house, Refuge Sanger AKA Calvary Chapel Sanger Outreach, School, family, Nieces dedication and so on :) oh and not to mention my Sister is coming to visit soon!!!!

Come let us worship and bow down

I have tried and tried to upload pictures from Worship Fest 1, but can't seem to make it happen. So try this....http://www.sangeronline.com/rsevent0809.html If your compy is anything like mine (SLOW!!!) than you may have to wait awhile for the slide show to upload.

This event was so amazing! Why? Because souls were saved! It was a night to share "THE GOOD NEWS" to many hurting and lost people. It was a night to worship the one true King...King Jesus! And it didn't stop there, many of the men that gave their hearts to Jesus joined us for church this past Thursday. I (along with many others) were so excited to see our new brothers come to learn more about Jesus. Please continue to pray for the lost and hurting people in Sanger.... and in your community also. May we not waste time, for the hour is drawing near!

Worship Fest 2 is coming!! Save Sept 26th to come worship the Lord with us. Bring you friends and family...all of them!! For more info. check out - http://www.sangeronline.com/rsevents.html

Camping/Beach Trip

Jacob & Daddy setting up camp

They did it! I love this picture (below)! My Love reading his Bible on the beach. It doesn't get better than that!
We had a great time on our 1st camping trip to the beach. We all agree that beach camping is a better fit for us than mountain camping...for many reasons. My #1 reason is less bugs. Plus visiting the beach during the day was a hit with the kids. I could do without the sand, but it was fun seeing them have so much fun. I can't wait for next summers camping trip to the beach.

Baptism July 2009

Two weeks ago our church group

here in Sanger had a baptism. 8 people were baptised in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. It was a joyous event!

John had the privilege of baptising our two oldest kids, Jacob & Madison. What a wonderful day this was!

What is Christian Baptism?
Christian baptism is immersion in water as a public statement of one’s new identity in Christ, having received Him by faith as Savior and Lord. Baptism does not save a person. Rather, baptism is the first act of obedience for one who has been saved. The model given to us in the Bible is that baptism immediately follows conversion.
“Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.” (Acts 2:41)
