As a clergy couple with a tween, we tend to cherish the family time we have together.
Earlier this summer, Pastor Kagan and I dreamed up a sermon series about women in the Bible.
This summer our son showed an interest in cooking, and scrambled eggs were first on the list.
Every family hands things down. I have my Granny’s china set with tiny daisies around the edges, and her Bible.
I remember almost every moment of my wedding day: the smell of the yellow roses in my bouquet, the feel of Todd’s great-grandmother’s ring slipping onto my finger, and the lightning storm that knocked out the power at our reception.
I remember when I first saw the Passover story from a Jewish perspective. In high school, I belonged to a peer group of people from many faiths.
If you know much about me, you know that I love little nerdy facts.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen. (Matthew 6:9-13)
