Love… One Sip At A Time // A Valentine Tea Party
I started hosting tea parties in an older home propped as pretty as you please on the corner of a quiet street. A family of four in a two-bedroom, one-bath home made for a tight fit, and tea parties felt downright snug, but no one would change a thing. Some teas were scripture-based, and others celebrated holidays, but every time, the room filled with the scent of scones, floral tea, and...
The Fun Has Begun!
1 new pound cake pan + 9 ingredients + 1 cohort in the kitchen =One Amazing Poundcake! Angie Prout and I had a blast today cooking my first pound cake in the new pan. She is an awesome cook so I knew my chances of success would greatly increase with her by my side. After popping the cake in the oven (and licking the batter from the bowl), I was introduced to the Prout’s new Wii game....

Thankfully, it only has one...

Tea for Twenty
A friend loves at all times… Proverbs 17:17 Last night, our Bible Class came together for a wonderful evening of fellowship over cups of Christmas tea and goodies (of course!) From my vantage point, I could see every friend’s face gathered around the table. Some of them I’ve known for years, others whom I’ve only had the pleasure of meeting since the class began. On...
What’s Love Got To Do With It?
Our Sunday Bible Class met for dinner at Cracker Barrel last night. With the rain and wind, we didn’t expect everyone to show, but we had 45 people in attendance! You can only imagine the delight on the manager’s face and the horror on the waiter’s. We had to split up in to smaller groups, but we still had a nice opportunity to meet new people. Starting the process of...
