Attention Please!!!

A live event on You Version is coming up soon.. 9 July 2012 We will kick off with Wisdom of Proverbs event. Join the group of young followers today and share your notes and advice.

Important Notice: There comes a time in a life after this we'll all have to face the music.. be you a theist or an atheist, He is no respecter of persons and you'd wish you believed.. I pray this touches your soul as it has touched mine. It hasn't been written for an applaud, this is straight from the depth of my heart for I am burdened to share this based on an earlier event of today. I pray you keep reading and not turn away from this. This is for You and Me!

When it is said or announced, 

the death of a friend, relative or anyone at all

Moods change

Not for the cause of the death sometimes

but for the fact that we'll not see that person ever again on earth

Then there comes the moment of truth

Have you ever wondered where that person may be after death?

I mean, life after death

It may be believed,

It may be real or unreal for some

But what I do care about is that book of names

How I live my life here on earth 

With friends and family,

with people everyday

Even with you reading this

Is what matters

One day I'd have to account for all my wrongs

For all those I have misled

For all the wrong thoughts I have had

We never know when

the strange, unaccepted, and unloved visitor comes

but one day it will surely come to us all

Will my name be ticked "Well done thou good and faithful servant"

or an unticked "depart ye worker of iniquity" in that book?

Sad as it is

I may not be heaven's favourite now

But at the end of this

I pray Heaven's salvation opens in my soul

I stop to think

In this fast pace of life

The technology, the people,

The earthquakes and wars

When it all comes to an end

Where will I be?

Who will I be taking along with me?

I may be mocked at now

For choosing this path of life

It may not pay right now

But the end will justify the means

I pray to be completely sold out to my creator

For in him is everlasting life

And I'll one day meet with all my loved ones

Who have gone before me

But that can't be done till my sins

Have been sent way ahead to mercy's seat

And my heart a home to the Saviour

Where sin is highly prohibited 

And the love of God is ever so abundant

At last taking as many with me to the master

To heavenward we fly

And be told "Well done thou good and faithful Servant"

Our names ticked in that great book

And together we'll sing "Hallelujah"

I love making desserts after preparing a lovely meal. Last weekend was an experiment of Chocolate swirl cake with cream and strawberry topping. This weekend should be victoria sponge cake (whisper: I'm baking this for a very special Uncle at church..*wink*)

Ingredients

• 200g caster sugar
• 200g softened butter
• 4 eggs , beaten
• 200g self-raising flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 2 tbsp milk

• 100g butter , softened
• 140g icing sugar , sifted
• drop vanilla extract (optional)
• 340g jar good-quality strawberry jam ( we used Tiptree Little Scarlet)
• icing sugar , to decorate

Method

To make the filling, beat the butter until smooth and creamy, then gradually beat in icing sugar. Beat in vanilla extract if you're using it. Spread the butter cream over the bottom of one of the sponges, top it with jam and sandwich the second sponge on top. Dust with a little icing sugar before serving. Keep in an airtight container and eat within 2 days.

Cake:

1. Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Butter two 20cm sandwich tins and line with non-stick baking paper. In a large bowl, beat all the cake ingredients together until you have a smooth, soft batter.
2. Divide the mixture between the tins, smooth the surface with a spatula or the back of a spoon, then bake for about 20 mins until golden and the cake springs back when pressed. Turn onto a cooling rack and leave to cool completely.

I found this on BBC, I might register for more baking tips. :D
