My Copycat Pizza Hut Alfredo Recipe

Extraordinary in the Ordinary — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 08:05:20 +0000

We experimented with this copycat recipe of the Pizza Hut Alfredo sauce a lot and will probably still tweak it a little here and there, but my guys say it's pretty close to the taste of the chicken Alfredo sauce at Pizza Hut.

Be Extraordinary and Make a Difference – One Act of Kindness at a Time!

Extraordinary in the Ordinary — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 07:36:49 +0000

Have you ever had someone do something kind and unexpected? Isn't that the most amazing feeling? Doesn't it make you feel like the whole world looks a little better? Doesn't it make a difference in how you treat the next person? Just think if we all got into the habit of random acts of kindness. I think the world would be a better place. I think we could achieve world peace. OK, that might be a tall order, but I bet we could make a difference in our little worlds, and who knows where it could lead. Science Daily states that there are three degrees of separation with acts of kindness. Just think....three more degrees, and you might reach Kevin Bacon.

Extraordinary in the Ordinary — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 10:13:20 +0000

Through each trial in my life, I have grown. At the age of 46, I am not the person that I started out as at 20. I am wiser because of painful mistakes. I am more forgiving and loving as I have realized my own imperfections and limitations. But as I face the trial before me, I find myself thinking, “Good grief, how much more do I need to grow? How good does a person need to get???”

Thought for the Day – The Prayer Closet

Extraordinary in the Ordinary — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 10:58:50 +0000

I'm rereading The Autobiography of George Muller. It has always been one of my favorite books. He was rightly called a man of faith. He never believed in asking anyone for anything. He believed he should take his needs to God and God alone knowing that He would provide for him. And God did. Definitely a must read. I came across a passage from his diary that was a very signficant part of his walk with God that I wanted to share.
