A Song A Sunday

How Can I Keep From Singing by Chris Tomlin

There is an endless song
Echoes in my soul
I hear the music ring

And though the storms may come
I am holding on
To the rock I cling

How can I keep from singing Your praise
How can I ever say enough
How amazing is Your love
How can I keep from shouting Your name
I know I am loved by the King
And it makes my heart want to sing

I will lift my eyes
In the darkest night
For I know my Savior lives

And I will walk with You
Knowing You'll see me through
And sing the songs You give

How can I keep from singing your praise
How can I ever say enough
how amazing is your love
How can I keep from shouting your name
I know I am loved by the king
and it makes my heart want to sing

I can sing in the troubled times
Sing when I win
I can sing when I lose my step
And fall down again
I can sing 'cause You pick me up
Sing 'cause You're there
I can sing 'cause You hear me, Lord
When I call to You in prayer
I can sing with my last breath
Sing for I know
That I'll sing with the angels

And the saints around the throne

A Song A Sunday

You're the God of this city
You're the King of these people
You're the Lord of this nation
You Are

You're the light in this darkness
You're the hope to the hopeless
You're the peace to the restless
You are

For there is no one like our God
There is no one like You God

For greater things have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done
In this city
Greater things have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done here

You're the Lord of Creation
The Creator of all things
You're the King above all kings
You Are

You're the strength in the weakness
You're the love to the broken
You're the joy in the sadness
You Are

For there is no one like our God
There is no one like You God

For greater things have yet to come
Greater things are still to be done
In this city
When glory shines from hearts alive
With praise for You and love for You
In this city

Greater things have yet to come
Greater things are still to be done
In this city
Greater things have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done here.

What's for Dinner Wednesdays

This week's dinner was actually rather similar to last week's dinner, due partially to the fact that it's almost time to go grocery shopping again so we're running short on some things. I made Honey-Garlic Glazed Meatballs, rice and broccoli (yes, I know, broccoli again....but come on, it's been a whole week!) The meatball recipe included a section to make your own meatballs. However my mother always stocks up on pre-made meatballs, just as yummy and much easier!
Here's the recipe for the glaze. I doubled the recipe because I wanted to have it as more of a sauce then glaze.
Honey-Garlic Glazed Meatballs ~ 4 servings
1 T. Minced garlic (the original called for fresh garlic but we didn't have any)
1 T. Onion flakes (I added this cause I like onions :D )
1 T. Butter
3/4 Cup ketchup
1/2 Cup honey
3 T. Soy sauce
Saute garlic and onion in better. Stir in the ketchup, honey, and soy sauce. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, simmer for 5 minutes. Add cooked meatballs.

My dad's not a big fan of sweet & sour sauces but he said this one was good :)
So that's what was for dinner in our house, how about yours?

50s Wives

A topic on the Rachael Ray show today was Real Life Mad Men Marriages. I love that a TV show as popular as Rachael's is talking about this! (Even if they did have to use a dumb show as a springboard....) And the woman in the interview?? Not only is she a homeschooling mommy, but she's a Christian and a graduate of Moody Bible Institute too! She blogs over here. Check it out :D

What's for Dinner Wednesdays

Wednesday is my night to make dinner for the family. Usually I try out some new recipes that I got offline or something. Anyway, I thought just for fun I'd share these recipes and my experiences with them.
Tonight I made chicken, rice, and broccoli. If you know me at all, you know that I LOVE chicken, and rice, and broccoli for that matter.
For the rice, I decided to try adding some flavor with Lipton onion soup mix. You just make the rice the way you normally do, except when you add the rice to the boiling water you put in a packet of Lipton onion soup mix first, one packet for every cup of rice. It turned out really well except it took a little longer to cook with the onion soup mix in it. Don't know why, but it did.
For the chicken I used a recipe I found online, with some slight variations of my own. The internet recipe was pretty much your basic breaded, baked chicken recipe. Here's my version.
Ingredients ~ Makes 4 servings
~4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
~1/4 oil
~1 T. minced onions
~1 T. minced garlic
~1 egg, beaten
~1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
~1/4 cup bread crumbs
~1 t. dried parsley
~1 t. dried basil
~1/4 t. paprika
~1/4 t. salt
~1/2 t. pepper
Boil chicken. Combine remaining ingredients except for the egg. Heat oil, onions, and garlic in 10 in. skillet. Slice chicken into strips. Dip chicken in beaten egg, coat in Parmesan cheese mixture. Brown chicken in oil. And that's it. I thought it was pretty good :)

So that's what was for dinner in our house, how about yours?
