To be good, beautiful, and true to ourselves, do we have to buy into the lies of the media? Or do we buy into the truth of God’s promises, that no matter who we are, we are beautiful in His eyes?

Join us at Trinity on the Hill Episcopal Church this Sunday evening, Aug. 10, for an evening sure to rock you with incredible music, great food, and Part One (of three parts) of an especially Read More

I grew up in southeast Michigan and we would have these during the summer. They are very easy to make, but they are very good! I believe that they need to be made with ONLY Vernor’s soda. Luckily, Smith’s carries this. It has a special taste.

Ingredients (for one drink):

12 oz of Vernor’s ginger ale

3/4 of a pint of vanilla ice cream

Directons:

In a blender, miix together until smooth.
