Today I got to hang out with three handsome guys. And some fabulous ladies too! And oh what fun we had! It was a picture perfect day on the island!

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.
Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.
In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.
Ephesians 6:10-20
Jesse is hit and miss with being cooperative when I have the camera out. And usually it’s more misses than hits. Last week at the grocery store however he begged to have his photo taken. With the M & M. I have no idea why. But? I went with it!
And if Jesse does something, then of course Trey has to do it too!
I must admit that it has been a long time since I’ve made this. L.O.N.G. We’re talking years. And years. But when the hubs and I were first married I made it all the time. ALL. THE. TIME. But let’s face it, with a main ingredient of onions my boys are not going to be too keen on this recipe. However for the last several months my hubby has requested it. Several times. So the other day at the store I bought some Vidalia onions. And then dug out the recipe. And sometime soon, once I get a free moment, I’m going to make it. Just for him. And while I was digging out this recipe? I came across several more old favorites that I haven’t made in way to long. I think some of them need to come out of retirement too.
Ingredients:
4 medium cut up onions, sautéed in butter
1 stick margarine
15 saltine or Ritz crackers crushed (I use Ritz and I use more than 15:-)
1 can cream of chicken, mushroom, or celery soup
2 eggs
3/4 cup milk
1 lb shredded cheddar cheese
Meat optional: ham or chicken, cut up and sautéed in butter.
What you do:
First, mix the eggs and milk.
Then, in a large casserole dish, layer as follows:
cracker crumbs-save some for the top
onion
soup
meat (optional)
eggs and milk mixture
cheese
cracker crumbs
Bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes.
Enjoy!
This week during VBS, we are kickin’ it old school.
