My Best Eclipse Shot

It was cloudy where I was for today’s eclipse and I tried taking some pictures. This one heavily cropped photo was the best I could do. It was still exciting to witness this spectacle happen.

If You Missed The Eclipse

For those who missed the eclipse it’s available on streaming when you get home.

Six Word Story

I hope your weekend was awesome!

To Doubt Is Human

Everyone has something they have doubts about. It’s human nature I believe. As a person of faith, I have them all the time and that doesn’t make me less of a believer.

My God is big enough to understand. There is a story of a man named Thomas in the Christian tradition who had doubts about the return of Jesus after his crucifixion. It’s those doubts that made Thomas’ faith stronger. Doubt does not mean one stops believing it can mean getting more information in hopes you can be a better person.

It’s OK to have doubts based upon experiences in life. It’s easy to doubt when you have been let down about something. Doubts can help us make wise decisions about things. My friend’s doubt is a good thing. It’s a tool that can help you be a better person.

Semi-Homemade Fish Tacos And Cilantro Lime Rice

Semi-homemade fish tacos with cilantro lime rice. The tacos are a collaboration between me and The Soup Diva. They are made with tortillas, fish sticks, slaw, cheese and salsa. The rice is made with rice, lime, cilantro, garlic powder, and salt. A very budget-friendly Saturday night meal.

My Favorite Cinnamon Roll

When Frankie Boy Dog is curled up like this he looks like a cinnamon roll. He’s enjoying his Saturday very much.
