He is risen indeed!
I don’t tend to post much on or around Easter because I’m usually too busy. Maybe I’ll write something in the weeks previous next year – Lord willing! Have a great day and don’t forget to remember that Jesus rose from the dead, which changes everything.
He is risen! He is risen indeed!

How can you know if a restaurant is any good?
I like to use what I call “the chicken Caesar Salad test.” If I go a place I’ve never been before, I’ll usually order a Caesar salad with grilled chicken. I order it because it’s fairly simple to make and is a good indicator of whether [...]
