Your recipe looks wonderful, LOL, but the photos are beautiful.

Vel, this is chocolate day, so check the page for other recipes.

My care package came from my Sister today, all kinds of candy, and a cake, but not as beautiful as yours.

She bakes me a pineapple cake and sends it United Parcel.

Thanks for sharing your recipes, I had to get them on my food thread, so posted this one with a note to check the others.

I am not sure you meant me to do so, if you want I will pull it.

Beautiful art work with your food.

Famous Last Words

ODB RADIO: Listen Now |  Download
READ: 2 Timothy 4:9-18

At my first defense no one stood with me, but all forsook me. May it not be charged against them. —2 Timothy 4:16

Just days before his death, Gandhi wrote, “All about me is darkness; I am praying for light.” By contrast, evangelist D. L. Moody’s last recorded words were, “This is my triumph; this my coronation day! It is glorious!” In both cases, their last words were significant expressions of their perspectives on life, death, and everything in between.

Aside from some personal greetings, Paul’s last recorded words dealt not with what he had done in life and ministry but rather with how he viewed people. What makes it even more significant is that some of those words were about people who had disappointed him.

Regarding an individual who had harmed him by opposing his ministry, Paul trusted the Lord to deal with him. And when considering those who had abandoned him when imprisoned, he asked others to handle them graciously: “At my first defense no one stood with me, but all forsook me. May it not be charged against them” (2 Tim. 4:16). His last words were those of compassion and kindness instead of harshness and retaliation.

Will our last words show the grace of Christ or the bitterness of a wounded heart? Our answer should impact the words we use today.

What have you written on memory’s page?
Deeds that were done in the Master’s name?
Words that were spoken to spread His fame?
What have you written today? —Anon.

What words will be your legacy?

Thank you, granny. I’m happy to have my recipe (and the link) on your food/survival thread. That cake is not at all hard to make - it takes a bit of preparation and lots of bowls, etc. to wash, but so worth it. :)

COUNTRY ROADS

Almost heaven, west virginia
Blue ridge mountains
Shenandoah river -
Life is old there
Older than the trees
Younger than the mountains
Growin like a breeze

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads

All my memories gathered round her
Miners lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine
Teardrops in my eye

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads

I hear her voice
In the mornin hour she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
And drivin down the road I get a feelin
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
