This week you’re in for a true Texas treat: Barbecue! I know, I know, BBQ sauce is high in sugar and carbs, and most BBQ meat is fatty not lean. True, but where there’s a will there’s a way. And this is a great recipe, especially grilled. Rather than serving it with fried okra or… Continue reading South Beach Update: Cookin’ on the Beach

Building the Ark
“A long obedience in the same direction.” That quote has often been used to describe Noah. This morning, Bruce challenged the men in the church to be “Noahs” in their families.

Then I thought that perhaps… Continue reading Rude Awakening
What’s in a name?
God is just so cool! We’ve now moved into the portion of Genesis where we’re introduced to Noah. Like many others, I find reading through chapters of geneologies tedious. Genesis chapter 5 has never been especially filled with application for me. I’m sure there’s truth in there, but all those names and the litany of… Continue reading What’s in a name?
