Just so everyone knows (and I know this is last minute) we are going to take a look at the Book of Daniel at Bible Study tomorrow night. This is sort of a departure from what we've been covering lately, so I'm hoping everyone enjoys it. It's been such a long time since I last read Daniel, but it's such a fantastic book with lots of valuable lessons for today's Christian community. So, see you all tomorrow night at Bob and Paulette's.
God is love,
Will

Baked French Toast Casserole with Maple Syrup
My niece made this and it is delicious. It is a Paula Deen recipe.
* 1 loaf French bread (13 to 16 ounces)
* 8 large eggs
* 2 cups half-and-half
* 1 cup milk
* 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
* Dash salt
* Praline Topping, recipe follows
* Maple syrup
Directions
Slice French bread into 20 slices, 1-inch each. (Use any extra bread for garlic toast or bread crumbs). Arrange slices in a generously buttered 9 by 13-inch flat baking dish in 2 rows, overlapping the slices. In a large bowl, combine the eggs, half-and-half, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt and beat with a rotary beater or whisk until blended but not too bubbly. Pour mixture over the bread slices, making sure all are covered evenly with the milk-egg mixture. Spoon some of the mixture in between the slices. Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.
The next day, preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Spread Praline Topping evenly over the bread and bake for 40 minutes, until puffed and lightly golden. Serve with maple syrup.
Praline Topping:
* 1/2 pound (2 sticks) butter
* 1 cup packed light brown sugar
* 1 cup chopped pecans
* 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
* 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and blend well. Makes enough for Baked French Toast Casserole.

Thanks Kelly!
Thanks for keeping this blog updated and posted. When you were away, it seems like the rest of us just didn't keep it up. I appreciate everything that everyone posts on here. What many of you don't know, is that several people look at this everyday even though they never post anything. So, it is a wonderful tool of communication and a great asset to our Church family! FYI - the website is still under construction, but Justin tells me he is working on it. He has a few bugs to work out and is working with John Chambers to get those resolved. So, hopefully, it will be up and running sometime this summer.
Keep posting everyone! It really is being enjoyed!

Beginners Camp
Mike and Conner had a great time at Quaker Haven Camp. They made a lot of new friends and played a lot of kickball. Mike took his guitar too. Conner is anxious to go back next summer. Mike said they keep you very busy. And on Sunday mornings the pontoon boats come to shore and listen to the sermon on a loud speaker. Mike said he ate a lot and the food was gooood. Thank you Bob and Paulette for your encouragement and support on getting everyone to camp this summer. And to whomever gave money to the church to cover the cost of camp for all the kids I thank you and God bless you!
Happy Monday
I missed being at church on Sunday and I kept looking at the clock and imagining what everyone was doing at different times. I was at my sister's cabin in the country. I took my cup of coffee and walked out to the dock and sat by the waters edge. I wanted some time alone with God. Which is what Michaela told me they did at camp. (TAG) It was a beautiful morning and the sun was sparkling on top of the water. I had a hard time getting myself to quiet down but just witnessing the beauty of nature was healing and knowing that God was in all of it was reassuring. There was another woman on another dock off to my left and she seemed to be doing the same thing I was doing. Seeing her out there encouraged me. So, there we were gazing out upon the water. Sitting alone but together somehow.
Psalm 37:7
Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him.
Matthew 11:28-30
Come to Me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.
Hebrews 4:9-11
There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His. Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest.
Isaiah 40:29-31
He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall, but those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles. They shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.
Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him.

God Heals Life's Hurts
God is our healer. He delights in healing us spiritually, emotionally and physically. The pain of past hurts can rule our lives. It simmers, it stifles and sometimes it shuts us down completely. Understanding scriptural principles brings comfort and hope, but it does not necessarily bring healing. Forgiveness releases us from bitterness and from the bondage of negative ties to others, but it does not necessarily heal hurts. Jesus heals hurts. In a sense, His healing is a divine exchange, in which, we offer to Him our hurt and He offers to us His healing.
"He heals the broken-hearted and binds up their wounds."

HAIRCUT
A young boy had just received his driver's permit and asked his father if they could discuss his use of the car. His father said he'd make a deal with his son. 'You bring your grades up from a C to a B Average, study your Bible a little, get your hair cut and we'll talk about the car.'
The boy thought about that for a moment, decided he'd settle for the offer and they agreed on it. After about six weeks his father said, 'Son, I've been real proud. You brought your grades up and I've observed that you have been studying your Bible, but I'm real disappointed you didn't get your hair cut.'
The young man paused a moment then said, 'You know, Dad, I've been thinking about that, and I've noticed in my studies of the Bible that Samson had long hair, John the Baptist had long hair, Moses had long hair and there's even a strong argument that Jesus had long hair.'
To this his father replied, 'Did you also notice that they all walked everywhere they went?'

Question
Did anyone see a guy running on the road to and from the Martz's house?
All we know is that he was driving a blue truck. He parked just down the road from us and started running toward our house.
(This all happened around the first of last week)
