The Strength of Faith: Beyond The Auto Focus

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!

Beyond The Auto Focus - A Reflection

I was taking photographs of my breakfast this morning when something caused me to stop and throw my lens on manual focus ...

Here we are on autofocus, seeing the mug and the beautiful froth of the french press coffee. But there is something beyond the coffee ...

Plants in full bloom. A beautiful blue sky. Puffy white clouds. Life - reflected.

What do you see when you slow down and refocus the lens that you are seeing your life through?

Have a great weekend.
