Savor the Aroma of the Sacred in the Ordinary!

If all of life can be an offering to Him, is there really any ingredient that has no purpose? The Master Baker, the artisan of daily sustenance alone knows the quality and intent of each ingredient to evoke the full potential of flavor for a savory loaf. He’s able to bring what seems dead and ashen, to be revived to allow His beauty to radiate. What seems like only the light soft powder of flour can become alive and active again when allowed to grow with the sweetness in the transformational fermentation process developing both character and flavor of the dough of life.

The Place of Longing for Intimacy with God

Frail, vulnerable, humble humanity becomes a response to a loving invitation laid bare and finds in that place an embrace in the depths of the crevices with the Divine unconditional love anticipated and sought without understanding that the encounter behind the veil is found not in striving and getting but in yielding and receiving. To reach for the sacredness of life and living is ironically and paradoxically not found in doing more, but in being less with the abundance found with greatest capacity when we are found in Him. "and become one with him. I no longer count on my own righteousness through obeying the law; rather, I become righteous through faith in Christ. For God's way of making us right with himself depends on faith." Philippians 3:9
