Compassion.....
This morning we were talking about Compassion.  Compassion is bearing someone else's burden as if it were your own.  Galatians 6:2 says, " Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ."  and what is the law of Christ?  Galatians 5:14, "For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself."  So many people today need someone to show them compassion.  I wanted to share this song, "Mighty to Save"

Pilate's....
Noah and Anna have had 5 weeks of gymnastic.  They are both having a blast and learning a lot.  Anna has been enjoying all the stretching and asked me the other day about my Pilate's DVD.  So she has been watching the last few days and working out.  It's fun to watch!

Homemade Ranch Dressing:
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tsp sea salt
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tsp dill (either fresh or dried)
1-2 tsp chives (fresh or dried)
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp parsley
1/2 tsp paprika
1 dash hot pepper sauce (or more to taste)
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Add crushed garlic cloves to bowl, and sprinkle salt over garlic.  Using fork, mince garlic into a nice pulp with the salt.  Add in mayo, sour cream, and buttermilk, mix well.  Stir in remaining spices. Cover and place in refrigerator for about an hour before serving.

I found this recipe and want to try it out to see how it is.  Looks easy and probably yummy!
