If you haven’t had Director of Programming Andy Bates’s smoked mac and cheese from scratch (yes, including the noodles), you’re missing out on a magical food experience. Although he’ll gladly go venturing through the woods in his Vivobarefoot Trail Freaks (those are shoes), he’ll also stay happily busy automating every possible thing in his home while eating cherry cheesecake brownies made by his wife, Lauren.

Concord Matters – Augsburg Confession Article XXVI “Distinction of Meats”

Today we look at the obscuring of the Gospel by traditions; Consciences terrified by failure to do “traditions”; Monastic Life is not to be equated with “the spiritual life” or “perfect life.” Vocations, one’s callings, are pleasing to God.
