Dough Boy Diaries

I am not sure if it was the year I waited to experience one, or my fondness for my teacher, or the sweet taste, but I must admit I have a new fascination with Dough Boys.

You are probably wondering what I am talking about? Well, Dough Boys are a New Jersey Boy Scout campfire treat.

Over the past 7 months I have been learning more about calling through Threshold. During our last retreat, I not only had the opportunity to share dough boys , but also stories of times where I felt fully alive. Out of that sharing we had to come up with core traits about ourselves. One of the core traits that I discovered in that process, is that I enjoy drawing people into my experiences and building bridges. So in that same nature I want to invite you into the Dough Boy experience.

Ingredients:

You need a fire, friends, dinner roll dough, chocolate chips, and sticks.

How to Make a Dough Boy:

1. You need to find a long stick that is a little thicker than your thumb. On one end of the stick shave off the bark for about 4 inches.

2. Start a fire- of course safely and contained.

3. Open the dinner roll container- take the dough for one roll. Place it on the shaven end of the stick. Mold it around the stick.

4. Place over fire. Cook till when you twist the dough it is no longer sticky.

5. Take the cooked dough off the stick and then fill the whole with chocolate chips. Let melt and eat.

6. Then pass along the tradition.

My prayer is that I will share and bring others into experience the Lord with an even greater excitement and fervor I have with Dough Boys.
