Things I Believe - Easter

Apparently, a town in Ohio is up in arms about the name of the "Easter Egg Hunt" for it's children. http://www.wkyc.com/news/article/183128/45/Geauga-County-Should-Easter-be-in-egg-hunt Some want to be politically correct, and refer to it as the "Spring Egg Hunt". Here's what I believe... If you can't handle Easter, as it is, then DON'T CELEBRATE IT! Keep your kids away from the Easter Egg Hunt, and the Easter Celebrations, and don't turn our traditionally Christian holidays into something they were never meant to be. Believers or not, you're welcome to participate in our traditions, but keep you nose out of trying to change them. Don't like it, you're not required to participate.

Things I Believe

We should be careful not to exhaust our available time on things that are merely good and leave little time for that which is better or best. We have to forgo some good things in order to choose others that are better or best because they develop faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and strengthen our families.

Cook This! Green Chile Chicken Enchillada

My husband's mom gave me this recipe, which she got from Aunt Shirley. I don't provide the measurements for some of the ingredients, so just put in what looks good. This is a good recipe to play around with.

What you need:

1 can of Cream of Mushroom or Cream of Chicken soup
1 can of Evaporated Milk
1 package of corn tortillas
1 4-oz can of green chiles
Shredded cheese (Mexican blend or Colby and Montery Jack)
Chopped onion
Shredded or cubed cooked chicken

How to do it:
1. Mix soup, milk, chiles, onion, and chicken in a bowl.
2. Line an ungreased 9 x 13 casserole dish with tortillas, torn if needed to make them fit.
3. Spoon soup mixture on top of tortillas, just enough to cover.
4. Sprinkle with cheese.
5. Repeat until you run out of soup mixture. I usually only get 2 layers.
6. Bake at 350 about 30 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.

Variations:
1. Omit onions
2. Use tortilla chips instead of corn tortillas

On Saturday morning, the day after Jessica's wedding, David describes his previous night.

"Mom... I have a new uncle. Charlie is my uncle now. Last night in bed, I tried out saying 'Uncle Charlie' and it made me laugh in my sleep."

I believe it makes you feel good when someone stops by just to drop off a pretty bag of Hershey's Kisses and say hello. I'm going to have to remember to do that to people once in a while.
