Singing Sunday

King of Glory
by Third Day

Who is this King of Glory that pursues me with his love
And haunts me with each hearing of His softly spoken words
My conscience, a reminder of forgiveness that I need
Who is this King of Glory who offers it to me

Who is this King of angels, O blessed Prince of Peace
Revealing things of Heaven and all its mysteries
My spirit's ever longing for His grace in which to stand
Who's this King of glory, Son of God and son of man

His name is Jesus, precious Jesus
The Lord Almighty, the King of my heart
The King of glory

Who is this King of Glory with strength and majesty
And wisdom beyond measure, the gracious King of kings
the Lord of Earth and Heaven, the Creator of all things
He is the King of Glory, He's everything to me

The Lord of Earth and Heaven, the Creator of all things
He is the King of glory, He's everything to me

Apple Crisp--Another Fall Favorite

4 c. apples
Cinnamon
7 Tbsp. butter/margarine(cold)
1 c. sugar
3/4 c. flour

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Put apples in a greased baking dish (I use a casserole dish). Sprinkle with cinnamon. In a separate bowl mix flour, sugar, and cold butter til a crumbly like a streusel type topping; put on top of apples. Bake for 45 minutes til golden brown.

***Side note/helpful hints*** I don't measure the apples...I just pick a pan no bigger than a 9 x 13 and fill it 1/2 to 3/4 full but I still measure out the struesel topping for it. The pan that I normally use for it is The Pampered Chef deep dish baker stone which measures 11-inches diameter and holds up to 8 cups....I just filled the baker to the top with apples and then added the struesel topping and it doesn't boil over in the oven the apples cook down enough. Also you can use peaches, cherries, blueberries, blackberries or raspberries with this struesel topping to make a very delicious dish.

Menu Plan Monday

**This is just a plan and plans have the ability to change at the cook's discretion! Last week's menus were a little bit disorganized! There were appts/events that happened that I forgot about so dinners on a couple nights were switched around and then they were canceled because we ate out instead. Also, my honey decided to go out to eat on a FRIDAY night to celebrate my birthday(last Tues. Oct.30th) so that didn't help the plans either. I did make it to the store this past week for a few things so I am all set for all my meals plus two extra meals just in case I am not in the mood to fix what is on the menu. Again this week is planned with what I have on hand! This is also the first full week of the month and I always seem to struggle with plans and it shows this week!! Lunches listed below are for the kids and I, dh's lunches are not included as he normally will just take what leftovers are available. Leftovers for dh's lunches are very limited this week due to several eating outs and one night of fixing just enough for everyone where there wasn't any leftovers. Hopefully, I can stick to my menus this week so there are leftovers towards the end of the week for him to have, otherwise I am going to have to do extra meals for him. A special thanks to Laura-Organizing Junkie for hosting Menu Plan Monday!**

Singing Sunday

Amazing Grace(My Chains are Gone)
by Chris Tomlin

Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind, but now I see

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed


My chains are gone
I've been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood
His mercy reigns
Unending love, Amazing grace


The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures

My chains are gone
I've been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy reigns
Unending love, Amazing grace

My chains are gone
I've been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy reigns
Unending love, Amazing grace


The earth shall soon dissolve like snow
The sun forbade to shine
But God, Who called me here below
Will be forever mine
Will be forever mine

You are forever mine
