The smell, the texture, the taste, the sop-ability the versatility and the yum factor make it the perfect food. When we discovered that in the military prison they sometimes put the inmates on “bread and water” …

I just love the Andy Griffeth Show. I love everything about it, the comedy, the message, the actors. Most of all I like the idea of the community, the town of Mayberry.

Whale sharks rock!

One of the completely cruddy things about hospitality ministry is having to say goodbye to folks.  Actually, that is the only cruddy thing that I can think of concerning this ministry… I’ve gotta admit… it’s a great gig!
