254 uses for Vinegar



Oil & Vinegar Bottles

Wise bread has found over 254 uses for vinegar in your home.
Yup. 254.
That’s above and beyond the exploding rockets or volcanoes that I used to make with vinegar and baking soda. Those were the days.
Just be sure you don’t add red food coloring to the rocket or volcano and explode it in your mom’s kitchen while she’s out running errands.
And if you chose to do the above I do recommend sticking with vinegar rather than the super-charged bleach option.
What do you use vinegar for?

My Swingline stapler

I just got a brand new Swingline stapler for my desk. Sadly it’s not a red one as in Office Space but a valuable piece of equipment as well.
I also got a new Rolodex which I was almost shocked to find the C-D divider missing. I thought, who steals a C-D divider out of a Rolodex? Seriously who does that. Then I realized it some how got covered up by another piece of paper. Ha. Ha ha. Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha.
Har har har har har har ha ha har har.
(sorry about the psycho bit there…)

Community challenges

We’re still moving full steam ahead with Community 2.0 at encounter.
We had our second night of training last night and I thought it went well. Not as big of a turnout but I think that had a lot to do with folks still working or worn out from working on Brian and Heather’s house.
There have been some challenges arise and I ask for your prayers. We’ve had a host home back out and we’re still looking for a host home for another leader.
We actually have several other folks in Waxahachie that are willing to host but I haven’t heard much from the surrounding areas.
Pray that we can find the right homes to host both in Waxahachie as well as Midlothian, Red Oak, Ovilla and beyond.
Also there are a couple other concerns that have been expressed that I don’t really want to get into yet but pray for those as well.
We’re looking forward to seeing God at work.

Pastor’s business card

From Shane: A new pastor was visiting in the homes of his parishioners. At one house it
seemed obvious that someone was at home, but no answer came to his repeated
knocks at the door. He took out a business card and wrote “Revelation 3:20”
on the back of it and stuck it in the door.

When the offering was processed the following Sunday, he found that his card
had been returned. Added to it was this cryptic message, “Genesis 3:10.”

Reaching for his Bible to check out the citation, he broke up in gales of
laughter. Revelation 3:20 begins “Behold, I stand at the door and knock.”
Genesis 3:10 reads, “I heard your voice in the garden and I was afraid for I
was naked.”
