My son's Bannock...

Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

Today one of my sons taught me to make Bannock. My younger twin has been on staff working at Bible camp all of the summer so when he was home today, he decided to make bannock. He had made it once before so I knew it was very good. He learned how to make it from other staff that work at camp. It 's very easy to make and really is quite delicious. The taste resembles a baking powder biscuit. So I made up a pot of chilli to eat on along side of the bannock and that was our Sunday supper today.
Here is a picture of the pan of bannock that my son made:

Next is a picture of the pan of bannock that I made with him guiding me.

So here is the recipe for the bannock:

Sister Sparrow's Son's Bannock:
3 cups flour
2 Tablespoons of baking powder
1 tsp of salt.
Stir together in a medium sized bowl.
Now add 1/4 cup of oil
1 and 1/2 cups of lukewarm tap water
Mix well. Turn out onto lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes.
Pat into greased cookie sheet. Prick with fork.
Bake at 350F for 15 - 20 minutes until golden brown.
Serve with butter or margarine and enjoy!!

Happy Birthday to my Twin Sons!

Happy Birthday to my twin boys! You guys turned 20 today! Wow! Where did all the time go?

7 months

 3 John 1:4 - I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.

May 23rd 1992 in the afternoon, you guys came into this world and were refered to as Twin A and Twin B in the hospital. Twin A came into the world at 8 pounds and 11 ounces. Eight minutes later Twin B arrived weighing in at 5 pounds 13 ounces and suddenly life had turned very busy for these new parents.

Twin A - you've grown into a fine handsome young man. You are smart and determined, and the Lord has gifted you to be a leader. You are someone that a person can rely on to be true to your word. The Lord has great plans for you for your life. I pray you would always seek to live for Him according to His Word.  You've done great work at McDonald's learning to do every job there working your way into management. I pray the Lord will continue to guide and bless you as you go to college in the fall. God bless you son!

Twin B - you've grown up so fast, you're handsome and winsome. You are smart and kindhearted and God has gifted you with leadership skills and a love for people. The Lord has lead you into camp ministry and you have been able to develop your skills in leadership, in music and the mountain biking program there the last several years.  You have heard the call that the Lord has placed on your life to be a preacher of  the gospel and to work in His kingdom. I praise God that you have yielded to His call. Two years of Bible College done and two more years to go. I pray that you would always seek God to please Him and that all you do be done for Him. He will guide you in all your life. God bless you son!

I claim Philippians 1: 6  for both of you my twin sons and also for the other two in our family:
 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ
Love from Mom


Heavenly Father, Thank-you for the children that you have entrusted into my care. I ask you to guide them, each one and protect them and keep them in Your care, That each one would live for You alone, In Jesus Name, amen.
