EdHart.me***Update*** I’m trying to get as many reader photos as I can up on my Facebook page, so check out https://www.facebook.com/edhart.me/ for other reader projects. They look great!!! ***
I confess I’m a little late getting this post up, but I wanted to highlight one of my reader’s rustic farmhouse bed projects since it turned out so nice! Ronnie was also the reader that inspired me to rework the original queen sized plan into a king size rustic bed plan.
A few months ago, we ate out at J. Alexander’s. I honestly can’t remember anything about that dinner with the notable exception of the grilled artichokes we had as an appetizer. First time to ever have them grilled and I was totally sold. They were awesome! Since that dinner, I’ve tried a handful of different recipes, mixing and mashing techniques from the internet until I ran across Tori Avey’s method from toriavey.com. She nailed it!
So I’m the poster child for writing niche content these days! Here’s another one for those of you who want to put interactive calculators in your PDF documents, but need some more advanced functionality than basic arithmetic functions. Like, who would read this stuff anyway??
One of the recent issues that I ran into with InDesign is that the program doesn’t have the same brushes and advanced masking capabilities that Photoshop does so when it comes to creating a document element like an object frame that looks like it was made from torn paper, InDesign presents us with some challenges.
Making a pan-seared tilapia is really easy. The hardest part is deciding what kind of seasoning or sauce you’d like to have on the fillets, but with fresh tilapia, they’re good even with just salt, pepper and freshly squeezed lemon juice. This recipe is really just to instruct on the cooking method for pan searing the fillets.
Ran across this infographic from World Relief that is really helpful in understanding the process by which a refugee gets to the U.S. It’s also important to be clear about who, exactly, is a refugee versus, say, an illegal alien or an internally displaced person, or an asylum seeker or a migrant. Each term has a specific meaning (with an associated legal status). When engaging in conversations about the current global refugee crisis, it’s important to define the terms since there’s a tremendous amount of mis-information that’s being fueled by the media.
The third and last group we visited with was Friends of Refugees which is a community organization with the mission of Helping Refugees experience an abundant life in flourishing community and from what we were able to see, they are making an impact in Clarkston!
For a few weeks now, I’ve been looking forward to hosting a missionary from Kyrgyzstan on his travels through the U.S. Each time we’ve had the opportunity to open our home, it’s been an incredible blessing. The anticipation leading up to these visits excites my heart and is only matched in intensity by the sense of longing I experience afterwards! So it is with Christian fellowship, foreshadowing the hope we have for the eternal community awaiting us at the end of this present age.
I recently updated a couple of my woodworking plans with more detailed and thorough assembly instructions and updated the cut lists. Since I wrote the original plans a couple years ago, I thought it might be helpful to post new links to them.
Visiting Clarkston, Georgia was not only an eye opening experience, but a heart opening one as well. After our morning introduction to Global Frontier Missions and their work training and equipping missionary candidates for cross-cultural ministry, we headed to the local office of World Relief, a non-profit organization which provides humanitarian aid, disaster and emergency relief through assistance programs to victims of poverty, disease, hunger, war, disasters and persecution.
