Hell’s Kitchen — Final

So we all agree it gets hot in the kitchen at times, right? And the suffering is going to come. It’s the main ingredient. See here if you need to catch up. Point is, the heat is on. But what are we supposed to do about it? Stop, drop and roll? That just doesn’t seem […]

Hell’s Kitchen — Part 3

Not Worthy to Compare What about my own little, “Hell’s Kitchen”? Well, I’ve endured church splits, church split attempts, the attempt of attempting a church split (just kidding), irate people, slander, gossip, anonymous (sniper) comment cards, threats (direct and indirect), false accusations, sniper letters sent to people, phone calls, secret meetings, made up stories, my […]

Hell’s Kitchen — Part 2

Love him or hate him, there’s one thing you gotta admit about President George W. Bush. He doesn’t do anything for the approval of others.

Hell’s Kitchen

<— Have you seen this show? It’s the latest offering in reality torture. It’s all about a group of would-be cooks who put their culinary skills to the test in an all out, abusive, grueling race to the top. The last cook standing wins. Original huh? I have never watched more than 2 or 3 […]

Missing Posts

Love these days!

Today we celebrated 6 weeks of major life transformation in hundreds of lives as we learned to live like we only have a short time on this earth. Why would anyone want to do that, you say? Well, ever notice how people who have been given the “bad news” seem to gain a remarkable clarity […]
