Gardening
I have decided to start a garden. I have no idea how it will turn out or even if I will ever get seeds in the ground before "winter," but I'm going to give it a shot.
Things I hope to grow:
• Tomatoes
• Garlic
• Peppers
• Potatoes
• Spinach
• Onions
• Chives
• Mint
• Basil
• Rosemary
• Squash
• Strawberries
My future Garden:

Cooking With What You Have
Today I tried an experiment with Flatbread and it turned out pretty good if I do say so myself. I Googled "yeast free flatbread recipe" and found a very basic recipe online that only required flour, salt, warm water, and oil, did a little math, and cooked up an easy peasy flatbread.
I put tomato, spinach, and feta cheese on one, wrapped it up, and voila, lunch!

A Thought
Mottos are better in Latin. For example:
o Semper Fidelis ("Always Faithful," U.S. Marines)
o Regnum Defende ("Defend the Realm," British Security Services)
o Dominus Illuminatio Mea "(The Lord is my light," Oxford University)
o E pluribus unum ("Out of many, one"; Great Seal of the United States)
o Carpe Diem ("Seize the day")
o Dum spiro spero ("While I breathe, I hope")
o Sic semper tyrannis ("Thus always to tyrants")

o Regnum Defende ("Defend the Realm," British Security Services)

Observations
Genesis 19:15-22, “As morning dawned, the angels urged Lot, saying, ‘Up! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be swept away in the punishment of the city.’ But he lingered. So the men seized him and his wife and his two daughters by the hand, the Lord being merciful to him, and they brought him out and set him outside the city.”
Look how good God is to Lot. Though Lot knows perfectly well how wicked the town is in which he lives, still he stays, and would have been destroyed if he hadn’t been forcibly removed. This is how God saves us. He seizes us in the midst of our insane, ridiculous stubbornness (it’s so obvious Lot should leave!) and takes us out of our sin, which would ultimately destroy us. This isn’t about Lot being a better person than his neighbors. He’s not. It’s about God’s undeserved mercy.
