The Strength of Faith: By Our Love

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!

By Our Love

Ohhh, PB&J Oatmeal - it's been too long.

My camera battery is dead! Oh no! Gotta get it charged by tonight - we've got another church dinner!

***

I was scanning the news today, hoping that Washington found compromise overnight, and "They'll Know We are Christian By Our Love" shuffled onto iTunes. I love this verse ...

We will work with each other; we will work side by side.

And we'll guard each one's dignity and save each one's pride.

And they'll know we are Christians by our love, by our love.

Yes, they'll know we are Christians by our love.

Just a thought.
