Isn't she just so cute?
As a Christian, wife, mother of a little girl and two fur-babies, Mississippi State Bulldog, and PhD, I lead a very busy life. If you add on top of that my obsession for organization and loves for couponing, sewing, knitting, cooking, reading, gardening, and a host of other random hobbies, you've got the recipe for...well...variety. And variety is the spice of life!

MrsDrPoe: A Lovely Tradition
Around this time every year, the graduating senior guys are asked to present a lesson to the congregation before they go off to college. I think this is a fantastic tradition and that the guys this year had some fantastic thoughts. So for this Theology Thursday, I invite you all to open up your Bibles with me and listen to lessons on Psalm 39, 32, 15, and 107 here.

MrsDrPoe: Fruity Grilled Cheese
It's another edition of What's for Dinner Wednesday, and tonight I have another recipe from the kitchen of Mrs. Luke- fruity grilled cheese.
Ingredients: cheese to taste (we used American, but she assures me Cheddar's better), 2 slices of bread, 2 tablespoons blueberry jam, 2 tablespoons softened butter.
Butter each slice of bread on a single side, and place buttered sides together (in order to assemble without getting butter everywhere). Spread the jam on the top non-buttered bread side, then layer the cheese on top.
Remove the bottom piece of bread and place buttered side up on top of the sandwich. Put the sandwich in a small sauce pan over med heat. Cook, flipping once, until cheese is melted and outsides are golden brown (about 8 minutes). Enjoy!

MrsDrPoe: Unexpected Book Source
Instead of reviewing a specific book this week, I'd like to show you several:
and recommend the Dollar Tree as an unexpected source of fantastic Bible books for children of all ages! At a dollar apiece for Biblically accurate material, it's very hard to beat!

MrsDrPoe: Sloppy Joes
This What's for Dinner Wednesday, we're having one of Mr. Poe's favorite (non-Mexican) dishes...Sloppy Joe's.
Ingredients:1/4 pound of ground beef, 1/2 bell pepper, 1/8 onion, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/8 cup mustard, salt and pepper to taste, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon chili powder.
Finely dice veggies and place in a medium saucepan with the ground beef. Cook over med-high heat until the veggies are tender and the meat is fully cooked (about 15 minutes):
Add remaining ingredients, and simmer over med-low heat to combine the flavors and to call your husband in from playing basketball (5-10 minutes).
Serve on a bun and enjoy!

MrsDrPoe: Mr. Gates
It's time for another edition of Poes' Pals! Today I'd like you all to meet a very special person, Mr. Gates:
We've known Mr. Gates for about a year, and in that time he has been such an encouragement to us! He truly lives for the Lord- a truth that is evident even during his most physically difficult times.
Despite spending his entire life with an extremely rare heart defect, this Temple grad has had his artwork shown in Rome, Berlin, and New York (to name a few). He has spent the past six months hospitalized in Florida waiting on a heart that will not be rejected by his body. During this long, painful period, however, he has spent a good deal of his time speaking to others in the hospital about the gospel.
Mr. Poe and I would encourage you to keep Mr. Gates and his family in your prayers. If you'd like to learn more about Mr. Gates, his condition, and what you can do to help, you may do so here.

MrsDrPoe: Building a Better Pie Crust
MrsDrPoe: Constantly Craving
The next book I would like to present to you for a Reading Review is another one that I received free from BookSneeze, "Constantly Craving: How to Make Sense of Always Wanting More" by Marilyn Meberg:
In this book, Meberg addresses several areas where people often crave more- romance, contentment, friendship, time, meaning, etc. She identifies with each situation by telling of her own experiences and suggests how universal these things are. Ultimately she also identifies humanity's cravings for various earthly things with actual craving for God and heaven.
I mildly enjoyed the book. I believe many inspirational quotes could be drawn from it, and parts are very encouraging to readers. The use of personal experiences made it seem like Meberg was sitting next to me giving advice; although, this technique also made the book drag in places. For anyone remotely familiar with Christianity, this book doesn't present anything new, but it does serve as a reminder that our "hope is built on nothing less than Jesus' blood and righteousness."*
I would recommend this book to a reader looking for encouragement from such a reminder. However, I would also caution him/her that many of the views presented by Meberg are not consistent with those presented in the Bible.
*From the hymn My Hope is Built on Nothing Less.
