Give us your peace that’s greater than we can fathom, grant us your mercy that “sparks joy.” Thank you for fulfilling the law on our behalf. You finished what we could not compete. Lord…

Granola, a guide
I adore making home-made granola. I think it’s always better than store bought, and it’s a great way to declutter your pantry! Making a granola is one of my favorite magic tricks in the kitchen. You take a little of whatever you have in your pantry and with a little alchemy you have gold… golden…

Christmas in the Heart, Henry Van Dyke | Second Sunday in Advent
