Cookie Baking Night 03/09/2020

Tonight was Cookie Baking Night. In attendance this evening: Carissa, Allison, and Rylar. Tonight we made: "The Best Soft & Chewy M&M Cookies" with mini M&Ms and mini chocolate chips. I have to say, I think they lived up to the hype.








For our Bible time tonight, we started something new. 
We're going to start asking ourselves a series of questions and then answer them with what we know from the Bible. 

Tonight's we worked on two questions:

Question 1: Who made you?

Answer 1: God made you.

How do we know this? The Bible says: "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male female he created them. Genesis 1:27

Question 2: What else did God create?

Answer 2: God created all things. 

How do we know this?  The Bible says: For by him all things are created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities--all things were created through him and for him. Colossians 1:16

These may seem like very simple questions with simple answers, but in our present world they are pretty big questions with answers that seem to vary. I thought it would be worth our time to explore these questions, find out what the Bible says and talk about what that looks like in the world. 

We have a big range of ages at Cookie Baking Nights these days. The discussion around these seemingly small questions was very interesting, to say the least. We look foward to exploring it some more in the months ahead. 


Another topic of conversation this evening was our upcoming family trip to Florida. Everyone's excited to go to Disney World and Universal Park. We're all leaving here at different times and arriving in Florida at different times, but we'll have several days together to spend as a family taking in the sights and visiting some of the amusement parks. So, next Cookie Baking Night will be on the road. 

Another Cookie Baking Night has come and gone and, as usual, a fun time was had by all.
