Pot Bless...


That's what my family called Pot Lucks because we didn't really believe in luck. Anyway...whatever you call them they are great! I love the variety of foods that show up at these gatherings. They might be one of the best traditions that the church has come up with. The tatortot hotdish is to die for. You usually can be safe with the hot dogs or sloppy joes that someone brings. I try and stay away from the salads that you don't know if they are supposed to be a side or a dessert. The desserts, wow. There are always tons of desserts. Probably because they are a lot easier to make. Seriously, I could live off pot lucks.
Here is a sweet site for tons of ideas for pot lucks.

Some good clean humor...

Going in blind...


So I have seen my share of communion breads. There are so many different kinds. It's actually hilarious. You can have the wafers, small bites of bread, full loaves of bread, unleavened bread, cracker like stuff, or whatever else they could find. Then you have the wine, where sometimes they have real wine, grapejuice, or grape koolaid.
For a lot of people gambling is wrong, but it seems like we gamble anytime we take communion in a new church, if you know what I mean. You never know what you'll get. It is sort of fun to try and guess what they will have just by looking at the people. Try it next time.
Here are some different recipes and some places to get some different communion bread. (If you would ever need to make bread for communion)

The Christian guitar player


We all know who they are. Every freshman in college at a private school plays the guitar. A few of them are good, but most are just playing it to either accomplish something, they picked it up last summer, or the girl of their dreams loves the guitar. I'm not saying it's bad, but it is just funny. You can pick them out of a crowd very easily. They are the ones that are sitting in some public places playing the lastest love song that they wrote, and ironically some girl walks by and begins talking to them about it. The girls eat that up. Next time ladies...just keep walking because it is not worth it.
