The Cross

I love the week of Easter!. It tells me that I am loved by God. It shares with me that God also loves you! Click on the picture and see this great love in your life. Join the celebration and accept this love into your life. Pastor Ken

Bananas

I like bananas! My wife likes bananas! My kids and granddaughter likes bananas! I guess we are a banana eating family. The problem is that you get them at the store and you can only buy a few because when you get home they go bad.
I have fixed the problem. I got some bags called “Green Bags” by Debbie Meyer. I can put the fresh bananas into these bags and for the next two week I don’t have to worry about my bananas. If I buy some that are really green I can have bananas for months. (LOL)
Thank God for people like Debbie Meyer, Betty Crocker, Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben, my wife and kids.

Have a Great day

Pastor Ken

(p.s.) Picture below is for all the non-believers of green bags. 11 days at my house.

Tricia's Chili

I cook around the house as much as my wife does. She found this recipe that is really-really good. It's on the hotter side for chili. It's also low in calories and it's good for you body. The real name is Doc’s Chili but Tricia's Chili sounds better. She is a good cook but I can give her a run for the money. Try it you'll like it!

3 cups chopped yellow onions
1 pound lean ground turkey
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano (or 1 teaspoon dried)
1 teaspoon ground cumin

Our House

One of the many blessing’s in our lives is our home. It has been a shelter from the rain and snow. A place were family and friends has come together to share our lives, to grow together, to laugh, to experience the good times and bad. A place of retreat from all the responsibilities of our lives.
We all call that “HOME”
Over the year’s we have had family and friend’s stay with us and now we would like to invite you to share our home. For one weekend a month we are going to offer the people at Central Community a place to come up, away from their homes, lives and responsibilities. To stay at our house in enjoy the beauty of the Forrest and the mountains of Idyllwild. Come on up on Friday and stay till Sunday. Or if you can’t miss church leave on Saturday or Sunday morning.
It will be first come first served. So talk to us and we can set some dates. If it all goes well we might offer it twice a month. Welcome to our home. Come on up and we will set around the fire and share our lives with you.
Pastor Ken and Tricia
A peak at our home.
