Easter! Resurrection! Worship! Jesus is Alive! Focusing on His resurrection. Worshipping our Risen Savior. Those come first in our family’s celebration. We also like to eat. The traditional foods of the holiday become important, I know my grown children with grown children of their own expect chocolate buttercream eggs from a certain local […]
Jesus’ directive is clear: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” ~Mark 12:31 (NLT) And truth be told, we can add “love your neighbor as Jesus’ loves your neighbor.” Jesus loves all people without consideration of any of the marks we often put on another’s worthiness. My family moved frequently. Many ‘new neighbors’ doled out their judgment […]
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! The Essence of Humility (via Celebrate Lit) toured 20 blogs over the last two weeks! Each of the bloggers spent their time reading and reviewing the book. How humbling. And they left so many great comments. A few are shared below. If I included all the kudos, the post […]
In The Essence of Humility (Chapter 7) we learned cilantro is in the Bible. This ingredient of so many of our favorite Mexican dishes is really the same plant as coriander. And manna God provided to the children of Israel in the wilderness looked very much like coriander. (Exodus 16:31). Do you have a majolica […]

So, I tweaked the recipe for added moistness and substituted pecans for the walnuts. Here’s the recipe for Orange Pecan Bread as I […]
Our Bible character friends wore mostly linen garments. Linen production begins with the humble and common flax plant. Do you remember Rahab (Joshua 2-6 in the Bible) hid the spies in the flax on her roof in Jericho? Her story reflects humble obedience to God. A writing highlight in The Essence of Humility came in […]
Adding sprinkles to Lemon Chamomile Shortbread Cookies gave them an Autumn flair. Trust us when we tell you they were a party-hit. We believe drizzling a little powder sugar and milk icing over them takes them to the next level of delicious-with-your-coffee goodness. We found the recipe for the Lemon Chamomile Shortbread Cookies at Country […]
Grape clusters dangle from grapevines all through the Bible. Jesus taught us significant lessons connected to the vine and to Himself as The Vine. Grapes most often are eaten by the handful or in a salad. We’re suggesting you try them in a slushie! For directions to make the refreshing treat we direct your attention […]
I’ve resurrected this post for your Resurrection Celebration this week! Lemon seems to fit the season perfectly. This is a different link to the recipe than I previously shared. That link disappeared from the internet. This one sounds just as scrumptious. Several years ago I baked bread to help finance my trip to El Salvador […]
