Headed to Heaven One Day

I have been thinking a lot lately about death. It is something that no one wants to think about but it is one of the only things guaranteed in life. Everyone has lost someone they love. Now, I know from the first sentence it seems like this is going to be sad,  just keep reading, I hope you will see the joy in it. 

Recently, I have experienced death through the passing of my sweet and wonderful husband over six months ago.  Throughout the years, I have lost grandparents, aunts, uncles, my father and friends. The pain you feel (and continue to feel) after the loss of a loved one is something really unexplainable unless you have experienced it yourself. 

I continue to struggle with their passing every day. There is one thing that  comforts me daily, it is Jesus. Because of Jesus Christ I have hope. I am assured that I will see my family and friends again because we all shared the common bond of salvation through Jesus Christ. 

If you do not have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, then I would love to encourage you to talk with someone that can tell you how you can find God's grace through his son, Jesus Christ. I know it is the most important and best decision you could ever make on this earth. You are never guaranteed another minute.

Have a Blessed Easter


"Empty Tombs Rolls"


I try make these every year.  




Make a 2 lb. White bread loaf in your Bread maker
or 1 loaf thawed Bridgeford Bread
1/3 cup melted butter
1 T. Cinnamon
1 Cup Sugar
1/4 - 1/3 bag of Mini Marshmallows







Slice thawed bread into 30-36 pieces, or pull apart apart about a golf ball size of dough.  Working with one piece of dough at a time, flatten the dough, then dip both sides into melted butter, coat in cinnamon sugar mixture.  Make a small indention in the dough and place  3-4 mini marshmallows depending on the size of the dough.  Pinch edges together to cover the marshmallows.  Dip the top again into the cinnamon sugar mixture.  Place pinched side down onto a cookie sheet that has been sprayed with Pam spray.  Bake 25-30 minutes at 350 degrees.

* You can make you own bread recipe, if you like.)
* Before working with dough, spray your hands with Pam to keep dough from sticking to your hands.
* Remove from pan within 10 minutes, rolls will stick to the pan otherwise.  They are sticky because of the melted marshmallows.  Since they do melt, that is what makes the tomb empty inside.  


Have a Blessed Easter!
