Have you ever made a vow? I’m not talking wedding vows, or “I solemnly declare to tell the truth” type vows – I’m speaking of inner vows.

Proclaiming His Death – to whom?
I got curious about the word ‘proclaim’ when it leapt out at me during a Communion service some years ago so I did some thinking and searching… This section was where my attention was grabbed:

With love from Taryn…
Hello. This week in Table Travellers we made Cornbread and Homemade BBQ Baked Beans. Our friends were staying with friends of theirs in Washington at Christmas and they posted a picture of some yummy looking Cornbread that their friend had made. He sent us his recipe and here is our version of it. They ate it with Chilli so we made Baked Beans instead since we didn’t have all the ingredients for Chilli and Mum didn’t have time to get to the shops today.

Sometimes reining my head in to focus during worship is really hard. I often feel like I’ve only just got my mind off me and my eyes onto Jesus when it’s time to sit back down. What a waste. Sometimes it’s the busyness of the day or week that is in my own way, sometimes my mind is stuck in problems in need of solutions or sorrows that weigh me down. Whatever the reason – they result in distraction – and is something I purpose to conquor deliberately instead of passively waiting for the music to take me there.

Summer has just turned the page; autumn is a lovely read – but the march of winter cometh and it depresseth me. ‘The Winter Project’ is at attempt to learn and incorporate the ideas of winter lovers, or those with experience of much harsher conditions into my own home and outlook. Some friends sent me ideas last winter, and the year before – such simple ideas can make such a difference. The favourite ideas so far revolve around fairy lights and scented candles. And so – the preparations begin. If you have ideas for me – please send them!

Pain Perdu (French toast or even Lost bread!)
This is a bit of a cheats post in that we did not do the cooking on the day of the blog upload… and I used a number of cheat’s measures to achieve the dish itself. One day very soon I hope to repeat the experiment.
“That” woman!
The woman described in Proverbs 31 brings anything and everything between motivation and interest to sighs and groans of loathing. This will depend on the age and season of the woman and her experience of marriage and family – but mainly it will depend on the way she has perceived the passage to have been taught. This little offering of mine is to share some thoughts as I see the chapter in question…

If you think you’d enjoy a five minute taste of paradise then this little video is for you. There is nothing but the ocean and some music. Being there was a 3 day hug from God and I hope this might be similar for you.

Bonjour!
One of my favourite dishes when we went to Paris last year was a type of sandwich called Croque-Monsieur. I had never seen it before and at first I thought it might be too much cheese for me, but when I tried it I was shocked I’d never discovered it before and I absolutely loved it. I loved it so much I ordered it nearly every time I saw it on the menu!

Being on this little holiday has felt incredibly surreal. We arrived a bit early for check in so we went to hang out at a nearby park for a while after locating the house but as soon as I had seen it I had a flashback to a recurring dream I used to have as a child.
This dream was one I was always sad to wake from and which always felt unfinished. There was… is… more to it.
