Keftedes For All

 

 

It's Greek-Fest again. Time to get the meatballs. I am addicted them. Once a year Columbia, SC is blessed with a festival of food, shopping, music and dancing behind the gold dome downtown. Just look for the crowd and you are there. It is worth the wait in finding a parking spot to get a plate of  keftedes (meatballs) on a bed of manestra.

I'll Take The Rock

If I have to stand alone, I'll stand alone.

 

 

 

Do not love the world or anything in the world.

 If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them.

The Bill and Camille Cosby Collection

 

"I will preach with my brush."

Henry Ossawa Tanner

 

One of my favorite quotes of all time.

 

I am excited to say that Henry O Tanner is just one of the many artist that Bill Cosby collected. The Cosby family will loan entire private collection of African-American art to Smithsonian.

Bill Cosby and his wife Camille plan to showcase their private collection of African-American art that they have amassed over a period of four decades for the first time in an exhibition at the Smithsonian Institution.

Craig Hewitt Photography

 

 

A great photographer and Christian.

We went to have family portraits taken at his studio in the town of Chapin, SC. What we came back with was more than we could imagine. It wasn't until we asked about the pictures on the wall that he opened up about his two children that are now in Heaven. The story changed his life and it makes you think about your own faith and how strong you would be in a similar situation. God works in Mysterious ways. I invite you to read his testimony on his blog.

A few words about Human Cloning

 

God is the only creator of life.

 

 

 

And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Genesis 2:7

 

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

Ephesians 2:10

 

Jesus said to him, “Again it is written, ‘You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.’”

Matthew 4:7

 

 

 

 

 

 



Chuck's In Tuscaloosa, Ala

 

If you are in or around Tuscaloosa, Ala. this place is a must. Chuck’s is friendly (like most places in T-Town) and has a great kitchen staff. The building itself is art and the art on the walls adds to the upscale atmosphere even though fine attire is not required. Call ahead for seating.

 

 

Great atmosphere

 

Creative and appetizing

 

 

Chuck's has a very wide menu from sushi to great steaks. Everyone in any sized party should be able to find a likeable meal. There are some things not on the menu so ask a local for their favorite if you want to be adventurous.

 

A Pastor Jailed For Praising God Too Loud

Thomas Borders has been a member of the church for 20 years. "We didn't build the church on the house; the house was built on the church."

 

This is so wrong that it's not even believable. A neighborhood moves in on a church and puts the pastor in jail for being too noisy.

 

I know there is better way than arresting a pastor for doing something that he and the church has done for years and years (before homes were built around it.)
