Winter squash burritos

We tried a new recipe last night, much to the complaints of many of the children.  The recipe ended up being delicious (the ardent naysayers had thirds).  I found the recipe on the "Seasonal Recipes" website.  It was called Butternut Squash Black Bean Burritos.  We changed a few things to accommodate things we had on hand - we made our own spelt tortillas, we used small white beans in place of black and we used acorn squash as I got a really good deal on it through Azure Standard.  Anyway, I encourage you all to try it- if you cannot find the recipe in a google search, let me know.

I began reading the book, "Feminine Appeal" by Carolyn Mahaney last night.   She points out that women tend to love their husbands with a servant love but we are actually commanded in the Bible to love them with a friendship love (phileo).  She states that the servant love is natural for the woman but the friendship, passionate, expressive love is much more difficult and not in our natures because we get so wrapped up in the things that we need to do.  AMEN!!  On the flip side, our husbands are commanded to love with Agape love (completely unconditional and sacrificial).  I find this fascinating and look forward to reading more of what she has to say.

During my study time I am reading the book of Matthew, finishing up The 5000 Year Leap, How To Read A Book and working on my classics reading for a class I am taking through the Face to Face With Greatness Seminars.  I finished reading "The Coming Aristocracy" by Oliver Van De Mille last week - again a hearty recommendation from me on their writings.

Thats all for now...
