Without good company, food can never be much more than decent

Boxing Day fun – lots of food and even more love
The British celebration of "Boxing Day" (a.k.a. December 26) has a number of stories/explanations attached. But I'll keep it simple and say that - essentially - the tradition stems from the practice of "boxing" up leftovers and sharing them with the less fortunate.
an argument against “warm and serve” Christianity
From the very first day, we were there, taking it all in—we heard it with our own ears, saw it with our own eyes, verified it with our own hands. The Word of Life appeared right before our eyes; we saw it happen! And now we’re telling you in most sober prose that what we…
taking chops to the next level #foodielife
This recipe is neither expensive nor difficult. But it is special. I don't know about you, but I think that sitting down to dinner is always an opportunity to treat your spouse to a date-like atmosphere. Just a little extra effort makes all the difference.
wine, cheese, friends, and gratitude
God has made everything suitable for its time; moreover he has put a sense of past and future into their minds, yet they cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end. I know that there is nothing better for them than to be happy and enjoy themselves as long as…
pasta, steak, and gorgonzola #foodiepost
I haven’t written a “foodie” post in some time, so – after three superior meals in the space of three days – here’s some good eating for your Saturday entertainment.

Yesterday, about to head to the grocery store for routine supplies, I asked Rebekah if she had a recipe in…

whatever you do, work at it with all your heart… (Colossians 3)
“Whatever you do work at it with all your heart as working for the Lord, not for people.” (Colossians 3:23) Today we’re celebrating Rebekah’s birthday. The official day is Saturday, but we will be driving all day so I proposed a quiet celebration at home, with absolutely-whatever-in-the-world-Rebekah-wants-me-to-cook on the menu for dinner. So we found two…

celebrating our season of joy and promise
For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven… God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart… Ecclesiastes 3:1, 11 This morning’s post is another one of those “deep gratitude” testimonies to life, and how the simple fact of our children’s happiness can be the most…
