TODAY IS...SPICEY QUACAMOLE DAY
Holey Moley! - It's The World's Best Guacamole Recipe!
Called ahuacatl by the Aztecs, avocados grew wild throughout Central America and Mexico as early as 900 AD. In fact, archeologists have found pottery with images of avocados from this time period. And they are SO good for you!
4 ripe avocadoes (must be ripe - peel and core)
2 limes (squeeze juice - fresh is best-not bottled)
6 green onions (the long skinny ones chopped thin)
2 small tomatos (diced)
1 garlic glove (smash it thoroughly)
Drop of Tequila
1/2 cup cilantro (chopped fine)
1/2 cup green salsa
1/2 teaspoon ground roasted cumin salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
1/2 teaspoon chili pepper
Dash of tabasco
TOPPING
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, grated
1/2 cup pitted black olives, chopped
Mash the avocadoes with a potato masher. Using a fork, whisk in the remaining ingredients. Place the guacamole in a medium serving dish. Cover the entire surface with a layer of sour cream, so that there is no green showing. Sprinkle the grated cheese on top. Sprinkle on the olives. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 1 hour before serving. Serve with the Authentic Mexican Nachos

Where does God Live???
One day, the teacher asked the class where they thought God lived. One little girl raised her hand, and the teacher called upon her. "I think God lives in the sky, because that is where heaven is," the girl replied. "That's good!" said the teacher.
Another little boy raised his hand, and the teacher called on him. "And where do you think God lives?" she asked. Very piously, the boy answered "God lives in each of our hearts!" "That's VERY good," she smiled.
When she asked a third time, Little Johnny was the only one who raised his hand. Quietly dreading his answer, the teacher asked, "And where do you think God lives, Johnny?"
"In the bathroom," he said. "In the bathroom?" she asked, puzzled yet unable to stop herself.
Yes, because every morning my father beats on the bathroom door and screams…GOD, ARE YOU STILL IN THERE

TODAY'S REFLECTION
When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to those who followed, Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel
Matthew 8:10
Jesus said this after a Roman Centurion had told Jesus that he needn't come to the Centurion’s home to heal the servant. The Centurion respected Jesus' authority. In the military, men and women obey orders, and are given the facts on a "need to know" basis.
If you are discouraged that your prayer isn't answered, remember that you see only the immediate. God sees far into the future and knows what is best. You know all you need to know at the time
TODAY'S ADVICE FROM THE OLD FARMER'S ALMANAC
Experience teaches you to recognize a mistake when you've made it again
