The Strength of Faith: Birthday Cake on Steroids

I am an ordained minister and a food blogger. The combination is pretty epic. Welcome to The Strength of Faith!

A little bit about me ...

I live in Southeast Massachusetts with my husband and our 4 year old gray tabby cat, Lilly. I am a 2007 graduate of Ursinus College and received a Master of Divinity from the Candler School of Theology at Emory University in 2010.

I recently started my ministry as the Senior Pastor of Rehoboth Congregational Church in Rehoboth, Massachusetts. They are a wonderful group of people who minister to me as much as I do to them. Every day I continue to be amazed at the unexpected grace I find in my life.

This blog documents my life as I try to figure out what it means to live faithfully and mindful of my health in a world full of distractions. I post my workouts and pictures of my daily eats in order to help me find balance in my life. I post recipes as I seek to develop creativity in the kitchen. I am on a lifelong quest to be happy and healthy.

Thank you for stopping by – I look forward to getting to know you!

Birthday Cake on Steroids

I thought it was only appropriate to share my birthday cake on Fat Tuesday ...

Bruce asked me what kind of cake I wanted for my birthday and I was having a really hard time deciding what kind he should order. What's a husband to do? Well ... as a matter of fact ...

... order five different flavors of cake from the Marietta Diner.

Yes, the same Marietta Diner seen on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives.

A-MAZ-ING.

Yep, I'm spoiled.
