Sunday Songs
~Tell Me the Old, Old Story~
Tell me the old, old story of unseen things above,
Of Jesus and His glory, of Jesus and His love.
Tell me the story simply, as to a little child,
For I am weak and weary, and helpless and defiled.
Refrain
Tell me the old, old story, tell me the old, old story,
Tell me the old, old story, of Jesus and His love.
Tell me the story slowly, that I may take it in,
That wonderful redemption, God’s remedy for sin.
Tell me the story often, for I forget so soon;
The early dew of morning has passed away at noon.
Refrain
Tell me the story softly, with earnest tones and grave;
Remember I’m the sinner whom Jesus came to save.
Tell me the story always, if you would really be,
In any time of trouble, a comforter to me.
Refrain
Tell me the same old story when you have cause to fear
That this world’s empty glory is costing me too dear.
Yes, and when that world’s glory is dawning on my soul,
Tell me the old, old story: “Christ Jesus makes thee whole.”
Refrain
1866

Tuesday Tips
~Crock Pot Ham~
For the past three years, I've prepared my Easter ham in the crock pot. So easy and so delicious! All you do is buy a fully cooked, bone-in, spiral sliced ham. Put a cup of brown sugar in your crock pot. Place the ham in the crock pot,* flat side down, and rub a little more brown sugar on it. That's it! Cook on low for 6 hours. (You don't need to add any liquid, the ham makes it's own as it cooks.)
This is a perfect way to prepare a ham for a noon meal when you are away from home all morning. It's also great for any holiday meal, when you are preparing more than one main dish and need to save room in the oven!
*You do need to have one of the larger, family-size crock pots in order for the ham to fit.
(The first two years of preparing my ham this way, the hams fit just fine. This year the bone was too big and the crock pot wouldn't seal. I just went ahead and took the ham off of the bone and cooked it in slices. We think the ham might have even been better that way!)

Cub Scout Nature Walk
The cubscouts went on a nature walk this week..JPG)
To identify plants and trees.
And I got to tag along!
As the sun began to set, they started to worry that they wouldn't find
the much anticipated sundew plant.
But at the very end of the walk,they did!
"The carnivorous sundew plant, botanical name Drosera, has about 130 species. All of the species of the sundew plant are beautiful and many look like fireworks, but they are deadly to the insects that fly near to them. One thing that all carnivorous sundew plants have is the gel like substance at the tips of the tentacles that cover the leaves. This gel is a sticky substance that the insects that fly too near the plant get stuck on. The plant can then eat it. The many species of the sundew plant can be found all around the world, on every single continent. This is unusual for a plant because most carnivorous plants are found only in one or two regions of the world because of the different climates that they must live in. The plant is called sundew because of the gel like substance on the tentacles. The gel makes the plants look as if they have morning dew on them all day long, especially when it glistens in the sun."
