On May 16, 2010 My friend and I came up with a crazy idea. We decided to try and bake some cookies then show the love of Christ by giving them to our neigbors. Little did we know the difficulties of baking.

The first batch of cookies we decided to bake on wax paper, after filling the house with smoke, we took them out and they were all burnt. Cooking lesson: Don’t put wax paper in the oven. After many trials and errors we ended up with 2 dozen cookies (out of a possible 6) that were ready to be handed out.

With those two dozen successfully baked cookies, we were able to talk to two of our neighbors. Our plan was to tell them that we were Christians and that Jesus told us to love our neighbors. During the two fairly short conversations and, with the unwanted help of our nervousness, I don’t think our message came across too clearly. Hopefully God helped them to understand. They did take our cookies though and weather or not they ate them I do not know.

The whole experience felt silly, but after it was all said and done it felt good. Who knows maybe we will do it again some time.
