Carrie Underwood's Buttermilk Wedding Pie
Lanita Franklin's Buttermilk Pie
1 3/4 cups sugar
1/4 cup flour
1 tablespoon vanilla
3 eggs, beaten
1/3 cup melted butter
3/4 cup buttermilk
Unbaked nine-inch (23-centimetre) pie shell
Combine sugar and flour and whisk until flour is completely mixed into the sugar.
Add vanilla and whisk until evenly mixed in with sugar and flour. Beat the eggs
well, then add them. Whisk well. Whisk in the melted butter and then add
buttermilk and whip well before pouring into the unbaked pie shell. Bake in a
commercial convection oven for 45 minutes at about 350 F (170 C). (The
temperature could be as low as 325 or as high as 400, depending on your
oven.) Shake the pie a little to make sure it is not undercooked. It should barely
shake in the middle. Crust should be golden brown and slightly flaky. Buttermilk
pies should be refrigerated after cooling, but remain fresh-tasting for at least a
week.

Hopeful...
Mountain Moving Faith
A small congregation in the foothills of the Great Smokies built a new sanctuary
on a piece of land willed to them by a church member. Ten days before the new
church was to open, the local building inspector informed the pastor that the
parking lot was inadequate for the size of the building. Until the church doubled
the size of the parking lot, they would not be able to use the new sanctuary.
Unfortunately, the church with its undersized parking lot had used every inch of
their land except for the mountain against which it had been built. In order to
build more parking spaces, they would have to move the mountain out of the
back yard.
Undaunted, the pastor announced the next Sunday morning that he would meet
that evening with all members who had "mountain-moving faith". They would
hold a prayer session asking God to remove the mountain from the back yard
and to somehow provide enough money to have it paved and painted before the
scheduled opening dedication service the following week.
At the appointed time, 24 of the congregation's 300 members assembled for
prayer. They prayed for nearly three hours. At ten o'clock the pastor said the
final "Amen". "We'll open next Sunday as scheduled," he assured everyone.
"God has never let us down before, and I believe He will be faithful this time too."
The next morning as he was working in his study there came a loud knock at his
door. When he called "come in", a rough looking construction foreman
appeared, removing his hard hat as he entered.
"Excuse me, Reverend. I'm from Acme Construction Company over in the next
county. We're building a huge new shopping mall over there and we need some
fill dirt. Would you be willing to sell us a chunk of that mountain behind the
church? We'll pay you for the dirt we remove and pave all the exposed area free
of charge, if we can have it right away. We can't do anything else until we get
the dirt in and allow it to settle properly."
The little church was dedicated the next Sunday as originally planned and there
were far more members with "mountain-moving faith" on opening Sunday than
there had been the previous week!

Amazing Video...
This lion that was raised by 2 guys in London in the 70's. When he was a year
old they realized he needed more room, so they took him to Africa and released
him in the wild. A year later they came back to see if they could find him & if he'd
remember them, wait till you see what happens!

Live simply.
Love generously.
Care deeply.
Speak kindly.
Leave the rest to God.
