Late Night Bread Baking
On Sunday afternoon, I decided I’d love a loaf of homemade bread. Only this time, I didn’t want to use the bread machine. I’m not a baker type, although I’ve ventured into it slowly with the scones and dabbled in baking brownies from scratch (just stick to the box, Paige), and I decided to experiment.

The Geese – Author Unknown There was once a man who didn’t believe in God, and he didn’t hesitate to let others know how he felt about religion and religious holidays. His wife, however, did believe and she raised their children to have faith in God and the Lord Jesus Christ despite his disparaging comments. On one snowy Christmas Eve, his wife was taking their 2…
