...DCVita: Thanks! I am excited about the new year!<br /><br />Brookem: My pleasure. I'll send you or post the recipe. I made another batch this morning (if I had made it last night, I would have eaten it all before I got to the office).<br /><br />Ivy: I think I get it now:)<br /><br />Kimberly: The ocean is a good one, and so is "off from work." And yes, I like feeling "on," just wish I felt that way more often at work!<br /><br />Ella: I have been spending a lot of time with Oz lately, and it's nice. Being at his place in Atlanta feels like a vacation to me. Oh, and I have a guess on Tim's last name, but I'll keep it to myself.<br /><br />Cindy: I'm glad I'm not the only adult woman listening to Cabrera:)Allyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01816929643644946388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17276748.post-25311620359544950592006-12-21T11:36:00.000-05:002006-12-21T11:36:00.000-05:00I love the list!

Sometimes these things just creep up on you.<br /><br />My special "O" is Tim, because that is the first letter of his last name.ellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04388135445973225989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17276748.post-7799804664004412392006-12-20T11:56:00.000-05:002006-12-20T11:56:00.000-05:00Umm, just reading about the Oreo bark made my mout...Umm, just reading about the Oreo bark made my mouth water.

Glad I could help get you in the spirit.<br /><br />Jeff: Thank you for the thoughtful comment. I always love hearing what you have to say. That light up sign sounds interesting, but we're just sticking with icing. And I've definitely been a true PJ fan.<br /><br />And I agree that we've made our own truths entirely too individualist/subjective. But I disagree that we are unafraid to march to our own drum; I think a lot of people are marching to society's drum with either little thought or just because it's easier than marching to their own, which seems out of step with the world's. And as Christians, we're often called to be out of step with the world--even when it isn't easy. And of course, to do so, like you said, we must rely not just on our independence of solitude but on His spirit. We certainly cannot do it alone.Allyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01816929643644946388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17276748.post-64272526528576150852006-12-20T10:40:00.000-05:002006-12-20T10:40:00.000-05:00Merry almost Christmas to you too :-) I realize y...Merry almost Christmas to you too :-) I realize you are baking a birthday cake for Jesus, but please tell me you don't have a light up sign that says, "Happy Birthday Jesus" on your lawn!!!<br /><br />I love that you love "Off He Goes" by Pearl Jam...a true fan picking something off the No Code album! I really like Red Mosquito from that album, but I guess that will have to wait for "R" huh??<br /><br />The Emerson quote is an interesting one. I think it shows one of our country’s greatest strengths and yet one of our greatest weaknesses. While we are unafraid to march to the beat of our own drum we also have turned this independent desire against our standards of truth which we make much more individualistic than we should. The desires of the flesh far too often over power our hearts and lead us away from the Spirit of God. May you find your reliance on His Spirit stronger than on your own "<i>independence of solitude</i>".Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16776970989229587452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17276748.post-46084374185505342862006-12-20T10:24:00.000-05:002006-12-20T10:24:00.000-05:00Oh how wonderful - it put me in a happy holiday mo...Oh how wonderful - it put me in a happy holiday mood and reminded me of other great things.
