Throwdown Love

Becky- I love a good Iron Chef throw-down challenge.  Our activity tonight for Young Womens (church youth group) was awesome!  The secret ingredient was strawberries.  I was so impressed with the creativity and expertise of the girls.  I was a judge (since I'm never one to give up the eating aspect of any activity) and I loved every second of it.  I must say that after tonight I'm considering a new career in taste tasting.

Joel- I love reading.  I don't know why I didn't try it sooner in life.  :)  I think the key for me was understanding that it is OK to start a book, not like it enough to invest the time, and put it down.  Once I realized that, I have really begun to enjoy it.  I just finished "Liberty and Tyranny" by Mark Levin (it was OK, but mostly a rehash of conservative ideals I already understood).  Reading doesn't get your heart rate up any more than watching a movie, but I always feel better after spending an hour doing the former rather than the latter.  Love it, love it, love it.
