Biblical Hope
From Max Lucado – At Advent, we are invited to immerse ourselves in hope. Biblical hope is not wishful thinking. It is the unshakable confidence that God can be trusted. It is the belief that God is always at work for our good (Rom. 8:24-25, 28). It is the assurance that God’s promises are true…
Stuffed Jalapenos
Stuffed jalapenos are one of those things that everyone has a different way of doing. My brother and cousins all do them somewhat differently. There are just a few ingredients in my stuffed jalapenos: jalapenos, bacon, cream cheese and raw shrimp. Toothpicks are useful in holding everything together, but my wife doesn’t really like me…

The best comic award goes to…
