I can't imagine a Christmas without homemade cookies and treats of some form. If you think back of the Christmas seasons you remember with smiles....it usually centers on activities you did with others like decorating the tree after picking it out. Helping decorate the house. Shopping for...

Well, Christmas is as good as you make it. IOW as good as you give. I try to have the best Christmas as possible. I give them to everyone I can. Neighbors, family, Church friends and etc. They are NOT for sale...they are gifts. The price is love. Money is too cheap to purchase my...

I have in the past....I'm a recovering chef. You never fully recover from being a fully trained and experienced chef....I've worked with every level of foodservice. Everything from short order truck stop diner to fine dining with Michelin Chefs. (I don't personally know Gordon but I have...

Well, chocolate....real chocolate is hard when room temperature. That snap of real chocolate can't be faked. And so far this week I've prepared 7 different types of filling for chocolate truffles. (Christmas is coming) I've got several to go as I'm only half way there. (Usually I make...

Yeah.... I know the place. They have some great ideas about food and some lousy ones. Hard rolls are one of the lousy ones. Hard rolls are a fine bread....but they need to be sliced in half or thirds to be edible. You literally can't chew them because you must first break the crust with...

For some people things like garlic and bell peppers are a "no go". They will literally taste them and have their odor for a week after eating them. (Even after they, themselves can't taste or smell them anymore) They are indeed NOT THE NORM. YES....it means your teeth are in need of a...

I believe the parable of the soils. The seed was the same. BUT The soil became hard path, shallow, weed choked, or fertile due to human neglect or intention. That's the problem. The soil is not good.

Jews from all over the world WANTED to be a part of Israel again. I know this sounds odd but Jews are almost hard wired genetically to love their land... It's one of the oddest things I've seen. All Jews want to live there but it is expensive. Just as expensive as the USA but without the...

The huge majority of Arabs which were indigenous to Israel were assimilated into the Israeli population and are Israeli citizens today. Up until the early 1990's the Arabic population was just short of half the population of Israel. It was at this point (USSR fell) that all Jews in Russia...

Just as a bit of history about the Palestinians..... They are NOT from the area they are fighting for. Not even close. They immigrated there after being exiled from EVERY nation in the Middle East. Their ancestral genetic makeup is not singular from any area. Shortly after WW2 ended...

It's not "Christian" it's survival. Everyone in the world wants simply to survive in peace....and the Palestinians do not desire that.

I have. I have viewed way too many hours of military videos of war footage that youtube will never allow. I know the exact difference between false narratives vx real when it comes to war. Palestinians are usually lying. Israelis tend to minimize their own antagonistic actions...

Yeah....just a troll here to speak lies and move on.

I love baby sprinkling....especially if they use ice water so the baby begins crying when wet. It's not a baptism....it's a christening, a giving of its first name and dedicating the baby to God. That we, the entire church, will create in the child fertile ground for the Gospel message...

Went turkey hunting.... I got this one... Ain't she a beauty!

Sharing costs more these days. By the time you get through sharing you might as well buy a second account.

As you can see... It depends. Most honest pastors don't look or care...until a particular member begins demanding things of the pastoral staff. (Happens often from members....everything from sermon pointers to music choices to redecorating) Then they might look to see if you give at all. Or...

Well I mentioned Ancient Near East Anthropology....it's not as soft a soft science as some would like it to be either. It's pretty hard. Of course there are some things we don't know...but what we do know makes scriptures very clear as well. All a matter of taking the time to look. We are...

Well...those social sciences of the Ancient Near East also have topography and archeology to confirm their conclusions. One such thing is the term "green pastures" as mentioned in Psalms 23. We perceive belly deep alfalfa when we read this....but in truth it's not that at all. There are no...

Well, that's one type of hermeneutics... But hermeneutics, in truth, is a BLEND of both science and arts. The sciences of history, anthropology, sociology, topography, geography, meteorology, and etc along with ALL the literary arts we see today in poetry, music, and etc. Because these...
