Critic

Ever been told you have a critical spirit? I have, not by a person, but God has convicted me of it time and again. If you tend to look at something - a performance, the layout of a store, a beautiful scene, the efficiency of a group working together - and say this is really... Continue Reading →

Want the Last Bite?

I love food and I think about it a lot. Some of it probably has to do with the fact that I am responsible for feeding the family, but most of it has to do with the fact that I just love food. I think it’s so interesting that God made us to need food... Continue Reading →
