It’s my pleasure.  I’m happy to share with you a Bible verse and a recipe, and tell you about my newest book! A Bible verse which plays prominently in my latest book is 2 Corinthians 5:17.  Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! I like this verse because it reminds us that no matter what we were or what we did before we met Jesus, we have a fresh start once we turn our lives over to Him. It’s so freeing to be a new creation...
