It’s that time of the week again! Time to all get together from our individual corners of the blogosphere and tell what’s on our minds.
What’s the Word? Wednesdays is a linky that allows other bloggers to share whatever is on their minds that they want to talk about. Think of it as a virtual coffee date with some great friends. What’s going on in your world? Tell us all about it!
This week has no theme. Just think of it as a chance to get everyone caught up with what you want to say. Feel free to link up your own blog posts, or just leave a comment about anything and everything.
If you’re linking back to your own blog, be sure to grab the code, as it’s a new code each week.
I wish you all a happy cup of coffee and overflowing words.

Since I’m on this blog-improvement kick, I figure it would be a good idea to actually complete the pages I started so long ago, so I just finished updating my Tenfold Page: Ten Bible Verses I Try to Live By.
I’d had four listed there previously. Err, rather, the cites. Tonight I not only posted the cites of my ten favorite Bible verses, but I typed out the verses themselves.
I was reminded all over again of exactly why those particular verses are so special to me. And in the coming weeks, I hope to share in depth with you my take on these verses, how they apply to my life, and how God has used them to get to me even when I didn’t want to be reached.
Whatever your faith, I hope these stories will inspire you and fill you with hope. For God is always in control. And He is always filled with love.
1 Corinthians 13:13~
“And now these three remain: faith, hope and love.
But the greatest of these is love.”

“Sometimes it’s hard to make ends meet. Food shouldn’t be a sacrifice.” ~from The Unemployment Cookbook.
It’s been so long since I’ve posted a recipe on the blog, I thought this one would be a great treat.
Texas Hash is a family favorite. It’s quick, easy, and inexpensive to make, and delicious to eat. At our house, we often serve it with a salad and garlic toast.
It feeds my family, and guests, with leftovers to spare.
So with all that going for it, there was no question about including it in The Unemployment Cookbook.
This family favorite heritage dish pretty much stands on its own. The flavors blend well, but still offer a base which can easily be changed up to suit individual tastes.
