Pizza Pizza

I cooked my first homemade pizza today. It came out pretty good. The recipe made an extra large pizza and there was a lot left over. At the rate we are eating it will take a month to eat the leftovers. The picture is of our Schwan's man, Lance, who came buy today. He is a great guy and very friendly. We like to here about his wife and young son, he seems so proud of them. He is very good at his job and we count him as our friend. He is a christian and loves the Lord. I am sure that is why we feel a bond with him.

I was reading in the book of Exodus this morning about the plaques of Egypt. It was interesting to note that it was not until the lice came that the Egyptian magicians said to Pharaoh "This is the finger of God." They had endured water turned to blood and frogs but because the magicians could duplicate these miracles they thought it was no big deal. When the dust turned into lice they were impressed for they could not do this great thing with their enchantments and tricks. It teaches us a valuable lesson. There are things we can do by and with our power and ability and when God does them we think "so what." God can cut down trees and destroy a whole stand of timber and so can man. But man can not clothe the grass of the fields with beautiful flowers that is the finger of God. Man can not make an eagle or a fish or any life form, that is the finger of God. I love that joke that goes like this: Scientists told God they did not need Him anymore for they could do anything that God could do. So God challenged them to a "man making" contest. The scientist replied no problem we can do that. God said yes but you must do it the way I did it using nothing but dirt. The scientist said confidently "all right" and leaned down and scooped up a handful of dirt to which God replied "No you don't, you create your own dirt." There is but one true and living God who designed and created the heavens and the earth. He tells us all about himself and about us in a set of books we call the BIBLE. It should be required reading for every human being. It has been translated into virtually every language on the earth leaving man without excuse. God bless you.
