I’m not entirely certain what to call this dish. It seems to align pretty well with what you’ll find if you search for Cucumber Salad or Pickled Cucumber Salad… but those names seem to be a little too grand for what actually just amounts to cucumbers and onions in vinegar water.

It feels like it’s been ages, but we’ve begun meeting again with friends as a Life Group. We kicked things off with discussion about identity, based on a sermon by John Mark Comer. I recently read his book, The Relentless Elimination of Hurry. SO. GOOD. Highly recommended read. Anyway, John led off his discussion onContinue reading "Through A Mirror Dimly"

When I picture kings and subjects, I think mostly of movies where kings were rich and ruled with an iron fist and used poor peasants to do their bidding. That’s a filtered view though. It’s like thinkingContinue reading "Slave Or Subject"

However, I’m really starting to feel the effects of rarely seeing anyone other than my wife and kids.Continue reading "Breath Of Fresh Air"

A historic year is over. 2020 is behind us. There were some terrible events and attitudes in society this past year. As a result, public perception seems to be that a putting 2020 behind us will also mean that we’ll also be putting the negative things to rest as well. The reality though, is thatContinue reading "My Own 2021 Call To Action"
