  Monday, December 12, 2011  Seven Things I Have Learned This
Year  1. How to make tortillas from scratch. Bread making has
always been intimidating to me, and cooking with lard has always
been TERRIFYING to me. But sometimes, you just gotta do what you
gotta do. Especially when you're pregnant and you're an ocen
away from any good Mexican food. I found this lard-free on one
of my favorite cooking blogs, The Homesick Texan, and how about
that. I made tortillas! They were GOOD, too!  2.God doesn't care
much about all the nit-picky details that Christians argue over.
When my life is over, I just don't think that at the Pearly
Gates, I will hear questions like, "Were you dunked or
sprinkled?" or "Did you take communion sitting, standing or
kneeling?" In my Bible reading this year, I came across this
theme over and over, and I have decided that that stuff just
doesn't matter that much to God. What matters is: did you, with
a pure heart and honest intentions, seek to truely know and
honor the Lord?  3. Cole Slaw i
