Our Imperfect God

by Wayfarer @ Wheat & Tares

When we do a really careful study of what JS taught about God and gods, when we understand the history of God, and when we understand the nature of God as presented by Jesus in what little we have of his authentic teachings, we see that God is not...(18 May)

Who’d of thunk? Quick Paella…. that my picky girls loved

by Trey @ Daddy, Papa, and me

So, day 6 of “Eat the Pantry” month I made paella. Ok, so it was a verisimilitude (how’s that for using a big word when a simpler word would work just as well!). Paella can be a labor-intensive meal to prepare, I decided to go...(18 May)

A Moral System Free Of Religion
