Cleaning House

The Bible reading for today is Genesis 1-3.

Welcome to our Restaurant!

The Bible reading for yesterday and today is Luke 22; John 13-17.

 
Yesterday, Lily and her friend decided to open a restaurant for dinnertime (using the tea cart found at the roadside)–this diner was complete with signs, menus and a cart laden with food.  The name of the restaurant?  I’m glad you asked, ‘Chicken Booth’.  Are [...]
