Sponge cake, from scratch.

With a red wine berry compot, not nearly as hard as you'd think.....

From "Knowing the Face of God"

"The Bible does not automatically bring life and inspiration to everyone who reads it, any more than pictures of my wife and children automatically bring fond thoughts to anyone who looks at them. It is only when we live in a relationship to people whose images are recorded on a photograph that we can love them through it. It is only when we live in relationship to the living Jesus that we can see and hear him through the Scriptures."

From "Knowing the Face of God"

"God gives Job, in a poetically grand manner, one instruction: Take the first three chapters of Genesis seriously. Yet this message has two sides. In content, God tells Job to shut up. In form, he rewards his noise. For God delivers the answer personally. He cares enough not to send a message but to come personally before Job's eyes. He will not - or cannot - answer Job's question the way Job wants them answered, but he will answer. Job got what every righteous man longed for: the actual presence of God."
-Tim Stafford

From "Knowing the Face of God"

"People who have suffered are often peculiarly receptive to others' experiences; they hear the nuances of pain that others miss. Such a person may not talk of his suffering at all, but somehow other sufferers detect him. They are drawn to him because they sense he cannot be shocked by the violence of their pain, and because, as one who has survived suffering, he embodies real hope. People who have suffered understand each other in a way that others who have not suffered cannot."

DC Talk - Fearless

Haunted by a jaded past,
never thought that love could last,
hope was but a castaway at sea.
Skepticism took its toll,
closed the windows to my soul,
was fighting just to keep my sanity.

When out of the noise I could hear you breathing.
You came along knowing just what I needed.
Turned me around and you got me believing,
you would die for me.

Now I'm fearless, with nothing left to hide.
All the doubts of yesterday, love has driven them away.
And now I'm fearless, when I am by your side.
Its forever me and you, in this covenant of truth.
You know I'm fearless.

Patiently you stripped away,
the walls of pride that I had raised.
You revealed the child inside of me.
We will run and not grow old,
soar on wings as Ive been told,
together we will fly the heavenlies.

Cause out of the noise I could hear you breathing.
You came along knowing just what I needed.
Turned me around and you got me believing,
I would die for you.

Now I'm fearless, with nothing left to hide.
All the doubts of yesterday, love has driven them away.
And now I'm fearless, when I am by your side.
Its forever me and you, in this covenant of truth.
You know I'm fearless.

Some of us leave the vine,
some of us fall in line,
all of us have a friend in Jesus.
Some of us live in fear,
some of us persevere,
knowing that you are near me.

I'm fearless, with nothing left to hide.
All the doubts of yesterday, love has driven them away.
And now I'm fearless, when I am by your side.
Its forever me and you, in this covenant of truth.
You know I'm fearless.
