I saw an advertisement the other day that bothered me. It said something like "less time in the kitchen = more family time." I don't know that those two things are mutually exclusive. It's about food and family, not food or family - in the prep, the eating, the cleaning up... all of it.
Some of my best memories are in the kitchen with my mom, my sisters, my Grandma, and with my church family. Relationships center around food and the fellowship that comes with it.
So, on this holiday weekend, see how you can incorporate family time into the food time - not just what you're eating, but what you're working on and sharing together.

I have always gone back to writing as a way of processing the world, expressing thoughts, talking to God, or sharing ideas. Even in elementary school, I would make up little songs that I would then sing at the top of my lungs while swinging on the swing set. Often the songs or other writings were far from profound, but they were formative.
My 8th grade creative writing teacher encouraged us to put pen to paper or finger to keys and just start writing. Her encouragement fostered what was already a passion and a love of mine.
In high school, by a few people, I was known as the letter writer because of the letters I would write them as a way of processing some difficult situations during those challenging years. It was also around that time when I began writing in a prayer journal - a practice I still have to this day.
In college, I found a friend with whom we discussed what we would title our first book: Pedestals. With other friends in college and beyond, I continued to share poems, songs, and other musings.
I am thrilled to be able to soon share with each of you the 1st of the Iron Rose Sister Ministries Bible Study books: Human AND Holy and also Humano Y Santo. And today, on the day I'm somewhat impatiently awaiting the proof copy of the book, I will process my impatience through writing and bringing you along in the journey. Thanks for joining with me!
