1. NATIONAL SOUP MONTH!


I love it! It is National Soup Month. Speaking for myself, I love soup, especially during cold weather. First of all soup is so versatile. I couldn't begin to guess how many different soups there are for our pleasure. Soup warms you from the inside out on a cold day.

I had a neighbor years ago who refused to feed her family soup, canned or homemade, she thought soup was worthless. Can you imagine??  I actually felt sorry for her family.


Soup can actually be a family project. Read "Stone Soup" to your children. It is a wonderful story about the value of sharing. After you have read the story take the kids to the local market and have each member pick out something to put in your own version of Stone Soup (Nix on the chocolate bars, marshmallows, etc. They may need a little bit of supervision but not too much.) When you get home have each member of the family prepare their ingredient to go into the pot. You may want to start with some prepared stock or broth. Choose some tasty toppers: shredded cheese, crumbled bacon, sliced scallions, a dollop of sour cream, use your imagination. Serve it with: crackers, hard rolls, bread sticks, tortillas or sandwiches if you wish.

If this doesn't appeal to you try this Stone Soup Recipe from the Food Network.

Have a soup party to celebrate National Soup Month! Invite your friends for a soup potluck. Have each guest or family bring a crockpot of their favorite soup. Ask them the bring a few copies of the recipe for those who might want to make it themselves. You can provide the toppers and go alongs. Provide bowls and mugs (plenty of spoons too) so everyone can try them all. Ask the guests to bring a can of food or non perishable food item to be donated to the local food pantry.

A soup party would be a good fund raising event for your church congregation to help the homeless or other helpful organizations. Maybe your church could start a food pantry. My church did this a few years ago, starting in a shed behind the church, and is now serving over 2,000 people from a building they purchased from donations.

2. 20 Amusing Church Signs

Today, churches have different ways or methods on how to spread God’s words, even to the extend of setting up amuzing church signs. Though some deemed it funny just the same, church authorities have conveyed their message loud and clear. Here are some of those really amuzing church signs and how I view each one of them.

OK, just give me some more minutes to take my bath and I’ll go attend the Sunday service.
