I got my bracelet from elisem a few days ago and I’ve been wearing it whenever I can. I love it. It’s magic. It makes me happy to look at the skull grinning on my wrist. On Fridays, Elise lists her works available for sale. Everything she makes is […]

Why do we feel the need to make Jesus cute, or our pal? I have a hunch about why. The things He had to say were radical, often offensive, to the people to which He was speaking. The things He asked us to do are just about impossibly difficult. Love your enemies.

Baking without grains or beans.
April 13th, 2008 · 4 Comments
