Food connects me to people. I don’t mean only that I feel connected when I am eating with others, what I mean is that when I make lasagna I think of my Dad, and when I make bread I think of my sister. When I am sinking my teeth into Thai food my friend Naomi … Continue reading food’s influence
the unrighteous steward
I fear that God will tell me that I can burn all my journals, he won’t be needing them, years and years of beautiful words, lost forever.
