We are praising the Lord for a wonderful weekend spent up in Seattle at the Mission Fest gathering. We enjoyed manning the LightSys display and talking with people about the exciting opportunities we look forward to (Lord willing) in providing technology, computer and web services for both missionary organizations and missionaries alike. I enjoyed visiting a few sessions and get stirred up afresh on the importance of incorporating the Great Commission in every aspect of life. We will be sharing a little bit more this week on what God has been stirring in our hearts…
I am also thanking the Lord for the arrival of my blender! It has been disfunctional for the past two months as I have been waiting a back ordered part on warranty. I honestly had given up hope and yet it arrived this weekend safe and sound. We enjoyed smoothies this morning and what a treat! They are back on the menu!

Do you have a recipe for the pancakes? I am looking for a good one but most of the time they use so much sugar. And I see that you soak it before? Do tell! Thanks!
Yes, check out my recipe here. It is fabulous! You can always find my recipes through the recipes link in the navigation bar above.
I’ve followed a few rabbit trails about kefir on your blog, and I have a question-where can I get free kefir grains on the web?
Joanna, try posting a request on craigslist or freecycle. Or you could always try cold calling some local raw milk farms if you have them around. (www.realmilk.com) A lot of times, the same people who drink raw, also love kefir!
And there even seems to be a website that lists some folks who have them to give away.

Hope you find some – it’s great stuff!
Great menu! The Caesars Wraps look good!
