Here as There

Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done here on earth as it is in Heaven

How do we get there…here? A house is not built from the top down.  A mountain does not begin as a peak. A tree does not grow to the ground.

It’s Friday, lets talk food.

I have been a fan of food for a while.  Not only eating but also the preparation of food ever since my scouting days as the camp cook.  It is not enough for me to just enjoy something if that something speaks to me in a transcendental way, bugs me on a metaphorical level, or if I think it is an important thing for the benefit of God’s covenant family.  I want to know how to produce this thing so that it can be shared.   There has been a real boom in my exposure to recipes lately, mainly supplemented by my beloved wife being on bedrest for the past 8-weeks+.  During this period I have also become exposed to cable television and the Internet for the first time in a long time and this has encouraged me to cook and experiment.  I have recently discovered a great fondness for the aroma of olive oil hitting a warm pan - this smell is biblical.  And I have received the revelation of the condiment featured herein.

My most successful recipe…so far

The short story:

The dissertation:

For me, it starts with your bread. 

Maxim Maundy

“If I can, I must”

This maxim could be applied to many contexts, most of them probably unbiblical and not at all what I had in mind when it came to mine.
