This blog is a space for me to share my musings about beauty, food, theology, hospitality, wonder, friendship, and the like.My hope for any readers is that the experiences and thoughts captured in these words will draw you into a glimpse of the wonder I experience each and every day.More than this, I desire for you to taste God's goodness all around you.. . .The beauty of sunlit porches. The miracle of fragrant, crusty, homemade bread. The ripe opportunity of two sitting down to tea.Life is too full of beauty and richness—of gift—not to slow down and take notice. May these writings enable and inspire us all to slow down . . . to wonder.Note: In fall 2021, I started a new blog, more focused on food and lifestyle, called This Real Journey, which is inspired by the same values espoused in and behind Slowing to Wonder. Take a look.
