Marriage Equality

I just wanted to share an article that I found that presents really good points on the issue of Marriage Equality. 

http://gregwmathis.wordpress.com/author/gregspeak/


Some of my favorite lines:

"everyone can acknowledge God’s design and live in accordance with it.  Homosexuality is not completely a choice.  But it involves a choice.  Homosexuality is not who you are – there is no data to support this – it’s an invention of our culture.  Homosexuality is what you do.  While you may at first claim that I am a bigot for saying this, this message contains hope: you don’t have to live in this unfulfilling way any more.  It may seem fulfilling for a moment, but submit yourself to God’s Word and you will live.  I should know.  I am nothing but an undeserving sinner who is among those above who “have been washed.”

"Scripture speaks ironically of a time of the Judges.  Ironic because today the Supreme Court judges are going to rule in a way that may change society and the propagation of a people forever.  During this biblical time of Judges, “everyone did what was right in his own eyes.”  The rest of the book tells a sad, sad story of a people with no real moral compass. I pray we would return to God, humbly, forsaking our own vain opinions.  It won’t be easy.  But it will be good."

How to center your header picture in Blogger

I have been looking for this for months and couldn't find a good tutorial but low and behold I finally figured it out!

It is so simple just follow these steps:

1. Go to template
2. Edit HTML
3. Scroll down to CSS


Then copy and paste this into the space:

#header-inner img {margin: 0 auto !important;}
#header-inner {text-align:center !important;} 

This one works if you are using the designer templates if you 

aren't using the designer template just copy and paste the first line. 

Hope this helps you guys! 

If you need more blog help this website is great!

Cooking Show with mom

My mom and I had the chance to attend the Twin City Cooks! show.

We went and had a really great time.  We got to watch 3 local chefs and then Jon Ashton.  He was really funny and all his dishes smelled so good.  We got to try the butternut squash soup that was wonderful.  At the beginning of the show he was trying to get the crowd excited and low and behold he singled me out to come and dance with him.  He got me on my feet and twirled me around.  

They also had a lot of vendors with tons of free samples of food.  I had some really great goat cheese, pumpkin spice popcorn, barbeque, and pimento cheese just to name a few.  I loved the goat cheese so much Mom and I took home a container of Basil and Garlic flavored cheese spread that I have been eating on triscuits.  

Now onto the goodie bag:

I got:

-a wine glass

-a tiny cute bottle of texas pete

-a texas pete coozie

-recipe markers

-bloody mary peanuts

-a notepad

-a pen

-a bookmark

-coupons

-and recipe pamphlets, books, and flyers galore

It was a really fun day to spend with my mom, see some great chefs in action, learn some new tips, est some yummy things, and get some cool goodies. Hope you all are enjoying your weekends.

Goings on over the past months

Since I haven't written in such a long time so many things have piled up and happened.

I posted earlier about having taken my GRE and all well I applied to Grad School and...drum roll please....I am going to Clemson in January!!!  So excited to start this new journey and figure things out for my future. 

On to October, pretty much this whole half of the month was spent showing cattle at the fairs.

all in a day at the fair

just taking a nap

pretty Miss Hollywood

But we had a pretty great year.  At the State Fair I was Reserve Senior Plus Showman in showmanship (where you are judged on how well you show the cattle) and my little heifer Miss Hollywood was Reserve Champion Simmental.  I was so excited because this was my last year showing at the junior show, since I have gotten so old.  Then at the open show (where anyone can show) I showed the Reserve Champion Simmental Bull.  So all in all it was a great time at the fair.   


Blessings,
