God has a divine purpose for bringing people together in the here and now. Ultimately, it is for furtherance and magnification of the Kingdom. God has a vested interest in our relationships and in our partners and helpmates today. Would love to know what you think? Did God handpick your helpmate? Or if you are a woman in waiting do you believe God has a helpmate just for you? http://joantaylor.wordpress.com http://theblogfrog.com/1408229/forum/146832/handpicked-by-god.htmlThu, 09 Feb 2012 11:23:02 GMTPosted in the <a href="http://theblogfrog.com/146612/community">This Mama Cooks! On a Diet Community:</a><br/> When Lipton asked me to pair one of their Green Tea Superfruit teas with a dish, the first thing that came to mind was the classic combination of toast and tea for breakfast. Lipton’s Superfruit teas come in three flavors (Purple Acai and Blueberry, White Mangosteen and Peach, and Red Goji and Raspberry) but which one to pick since they’re all delicious? Then I came across this recipe for Overnight Blueberry French Toast with Blueberry Syrup at Real Mom Kitchen. It was a brilliant way to use up all those bread loaf ends I had in the refrigerator. (My kids refuse to use the bread ends for sandwiches, so I keep them in the freezer for use in stuffing or bread pudding.) However, Laura’s recipe was rather decadent, so how could I health it up? After all, Lipton’s Green Tea Superfruit teas are full of good stuff like flavonoids, so why mess up their healthy goodness with a not so good for you breakfast? So I made a lot of substitutions like egg whites for half of the eggs and organic light coconut milk and rice milk instead of whole milk and cream. The casserole was delicious and reminded me of cream cheese stuffed French toast – but without the guilt. Plus, it paired really nicely with the blueberry flavor of the Lipton tea. Blueberry French Toast Casserole Based on a recipe by Laura at Real Mom Kitchen Serves 12 Ingredients: 14 slices organic, whole wheat bread, cut into cubes 1 (8-ounce) package of Weight Watchers low fat cream cheese, cut in cubes 12 ounces organic blueberries (fresh or frozen) 6 large eggs 1 cup liquid egg whites 1/3 cup agave nectar 1 can (13.5 ounces) of organic light coconut milk 3/4 cup of rice milk blueberry agave syrup for drizzling Directions: Arrange 1/2 of the bread cubes in a greased 9 x 13 pan. Sprinkle cream cheese cubes and blueberries evenly over the bread cubes. Top with remaining bread cubes. Mix together eggs, egg whites, coconut and rice milks, and agave nectar. Pour over bread cubes and cover pan with foil. Let chill in refrigerator overnight. Bake covered with foil at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 30 minutes or until fluffy and golden. Drizzle blueberry agave over individual pieces when serving. Get a FREE box of Lipton Green Tea Superfruit!

Community:</a><br/>Have any of you been following this story? The whole thing kind of just blows my mind. Here is the cliff notes version: Mark Berndt, 61, is charged with committing lewd acts on children, ages 6 to 10, between 2005 and 2010. The alleged acts include blindfolding children, feeding them semen, taping their mouths, and photographing them in a "game." The furor led to two parents coming forward Thursday to complain that teacher Martin Springer, 49 who had worked at the school for 26 years, fondled two second-grade girls in his classroom. Now, The mother of a fourth-grader is claiming that a teachers aide in her 50s, sent at least three letters to her son in 2009, including one that read: "when you get close to me, even if you give me the chills I like that. Don't tell nobody about this!" The school has now let go the ENTIRE staff at the school and is working to replace everyone as investigations continue. What the hell is going on at this school? Is it really possible that 3 different employees on separate occasions were all sexually harassing or abusing kids at the same school? Or are some parents just latching on to the hysteria? And what about the school letting the whole staff go? Was that really the right move?

Community:</a><br/>when it comes to teaching middle school, but this year and today, especially, I have just been astounded. Today I had two of my male 6TH GRADERS suspended for tea bagging another student against his will. SIXTH GRADERS?!! Another kid suspended from a different team today also for feeling up girls legs against their will. SIXTH???!!! Earlier this year I had one of my girls report to me that another boy in the class grabbed her breast. Then while he was suspended, he had his friends harass another girl whom he thought reported him, leading me to believe he must have done the same to her. That girl's mom pulled her out to home school her. WHAT THE HELL? SIXTH GRADERS? These kids are 11 and 12 years old. (Some even 10.)

Community:</a><br/>FYI the following is a completely heartbreaking story: This young girl was sentenced today for the violent murder she committed a few years ago. Based upon the evidence, this teenager is 100% guilty of committing this crime. There really is no question of her innocence. In her journal she confessed to the crime as she wrote, “I strangled them and slit their throat and stabbed them now they're dead, I don't know how to feel atm. It was ahmazing. As soon as you get over the 'ohmygawd I can't do this' feeling, it's pretty enjoyable. I'm kinda nervous and shaky though right now. Kay, I gotta go to church now...lol." She actually led authorities to the shallow grave she had left this poor girls body in. Another article mentioned that she had dug two graves and was planning on murdering someone else. Crazy bitch. I browsed on the internet and read a few more articles. Apparently she attempted suicide in 2007 and was immediately afterwards placed on antidepressants. Two weeks prior to the murder, her dosage was increased. One has to wonder… what role did these antidepressants play in her great desire to murder? During the trial, two psychiatrists testified. One said that the medication could have made the girl more violent. The other completely rejected that theory. How much blame can be placed on the sudden increase of medication? Or is this girl just a psycho-sociopath? The med increase just a coincidence? I remember reading (years ago) that psycho/sociopath traits surface around the age of 15. It truly could be a coincidence. I also think that her journal entry (using their/them)mirrors the mind of a serial killer. With high she experienced during the murder, I think she would go on to murder again. I know we are not experts here. But, I thought it might be interesting too hear your opinions! http://theblogfrog.com/1322951/forum/146744/meds-and-violent-crime.htmlWed, 08 Feb 2012 22:32:12 GMTPosted in the <a href="http://theblogfrog.com/1408229/community">(In)Courage Community:</a><br/>Today, I was reading in 1 Kings and began a day of prayer and meditation on my heart and pure heart before God.

He has placed me in several communities online and given me the opportunity to share him with others. It may not look like traditional ministry. A lot of time is spent listening to what the people like, building a relationship with them while sharing my light. Currently, I am able to minister to a Olympic athlete, pro cycling fans and mom's who love Twilight. I may not tweet a lot about Jesus and what he is doing for me because doing so would really be off putting to these people. Instead, I share what he has done in my life in a one on one way. I share on my blog about the things he has done for our family. The amazing thing is...these people always turn to me first when they are having a problem. They feel safe coming to me and sharing. I have spent a lot of time ministering via DM on Twitter. It may not be preaching, it may not be inspiring other Christians but its reaching out to the lost by meeting them where they are at. So if you see me tweeting about odd things, know I am doing it for God's glory and not my own. http://theblogfrog.com/1408229/forum/146699/odd-job-ministry.htmlWed, 08 Feb 2012 15:36:48 GMTPosted in the <a href="http://theblogfrog.com/1322951/community">Single Infertile Female: Now What? Community:</a><br/>And my cousin is FINALLY about to have her baby. Her body was unresponsive after two days of pitocin last week and when I saw her on Sunday, the baby had not even dropped and she was only 1/2 cm dialated. Anyways--she has been having daily stress tests and today the baby is low on fluid, so she is having a c-section. The c-section is less than ideal, but her body will not go into labor, so they are going through with it. They are elated to finally meet their baby! I cannot wait to see pictures of my baby cousin and am kind of intrigued to see how big she will be! http://theblogfrog.com/1322951/forum/146697/43-going-on-44-weeks.htmlWed, 08 Feb 2012 15:08:44 GMTPosted in the <a href="http://theblogfrog.com/1362952/community">Mom Loop Community:</a><br/>Hi all, I am cross posting this on Happy Wives Club community as well, as I just feel so strongly about doing what I can to help moms in marriages that are in trouble. While I am so blessed to be in a happy marriage, I have friends who are not who have decided it is just time to call it quits, and I recently wrote posts for them. My humble request is that if you would be so kind as to share these two posts however you like-twitter, facebook, even via email or whatever-so that wives and husbands who believe there is no alternative but to divorce will step back and continue to turn over every rock to find their way to a truly satisfying and happy relationship. My goal is to save at least one relationship from divorce. I will probably never know if I achieved it, but I know I will have given it my best shot.

I've been working with my kids and hubby on this new puppet show venture and I'm finally getting to the point where I'm getting great feedback and it just feels SO awesome. Its been a long time since I've done something that I truly felt was... "me" and this is gearing up to be the best thing ever. I know that pimping your blog is *eh*, but guys, I am really really excited... I wrote and original song and edited this episode clip and it really seems like a "real" kids show and I am SO FREAKING EXCITED!!!!! I feel like I FINALLY "did it" ~~ and my kids and hubby are right there with me!!! I want to make this into the best show I possibly can, and we're learning SO fast... it is happening!!! I would love some feedback, especially if you have kids. And yeah, we obviously still have some kinks to work out with the puppeteering and stuff, but we're getting there! http://theblogfrog.com/1322951/forum/146682/i-am-so-proud-of-myself.htmlWed, 08 Feb 2012 14:01:54 GMTPosted in the <a href="http://theblogfrog.com/501852/community">Pro-tography 101 Community:</a><br/>Buy the Photo and Nuts Post ebook and be entered to win a new Canon, a Mac, or Photoshop and iPad!!

I put her down and less than 2 hours later she is up screaming. I try rocking her, holding her and putting her back to bed but she just gets back up screaming. The only thing that keeps her from screaming all night long is sleeping in mommy/daddy's bed. Not a habit I want to start at all! I have tried letting her cry it out, but she will literally just cry and scream and never wear out. Then she is waking up our older children. Any advice? She has also decided that she doesn't want to eat at her high chair anymore. & that she will only eat off someone else's plate! If I put her in her high chair she just plays with the food/throws it on the floor and again with the screaming! This is the first time I have had to go through this because my older children are my (step) children and they were past this stage when I came in to their lives! HELP, please :) http://theblogfrog.com/104191/forum/146674/18-month-old-sleeping-eating-habits.htmlWed, 08 Feb 2012 13:11:25 GMT
