Have some chocolate

I recently was invited to a birthday party with friends from church. We went to a place called Farris and Fosters in Baldwin Park. They teach you how to make different chocolate goodies to take home. So much fun. In other news someone needs to save me from the full pound of chocolate I brought home. :/

Happy twenty thirteen

As a new year begins and we try to benefit from a proper view of what has gone before, I plead with you not to dwell on days now gone nor to yearn vainly for yesterdays, however good those yesterdays may have been. The past is to be learned from but not lived in. We look back to claim the embers from glowing experiences but not the ashes. And when we have learned what we need to learn and have brought with us the best that we have experienced, then we look ahead and remember that faith is always pointed toward the future. Faith always has to do with blessings and truths and events that will yet be efficacious in our lives.
