It’s strange to think of God as having a family history. Yet He does. He came down from Heaven and became man – Jesus Christ. His mother, Mary also had parents. They were His earthly grandparents. Let that sink in for a moment.

I'm a wife, mother, grandmother and avid home cook.I believe in eating healthy whenever possible, while still managing to indulge in life's pleasures.
A Feast for a Son of Thunder
I remember reading once that Christ changed people’s names because He could, that it somehow was a part of His Holy Divinity. They compared this to God of the Old Testement. Abram became Abraham, Sarai became Sarah and Jacob became Israel. These were done for various reasons by God Himself.

Every year on the 24th day of July, I cannot help but to chuckle. Two National Days come together. Drive Thru Day and Tequila Day. Not exactly the most prudent of combination.

Today is National Vanilla Ice Cream Day. I will be honest, my original plan for today was to ignore the National Day completely. But then a light came on. Don’t you just love it when that happens?

Hollywood and the whole of the entertainment industry has always been given certain creative licensing. They are masters at weave shimmering threads of speculation into an otherwise gray tapestry of fact.

Today we celebrate Junk Food Day, as we have a few times in the past now. Of our four chats regarding junk food, half have involved beefy burgers, and three of the four were served on bread or a bun. That just leaves one Junk Food Day that wasn’t really about Junk Food as we typically think.

If I had to pick another place and time to have been alive, I would be torn between two. The first is the American Civil War. The second are the days leading up to World War II. While I realize that I view these moments in history through rose-colored glasses, I cannot help but to be drawn to them.

One thing is for sure, I love being a Catholic. When people talk about the idea of separation of Church and State, that our elected officials need to park their faith at the door, it just never made much sense to me. It’s not like a jacket that I can take off when I go indoors. Faith is a part of your being. Or at lease it should be.

Casual. The whole point of today’s post was how to keep things around the dinner table casual. That is until I came across a photo taken 30 years ago today. I knew today’s post needed to go in another direction.

This year has really been one heck of a roller coaster ride. Those who know me know I’m not a fan of roller coasters. Give me spinning tea cups any day. I don’t mind being dizzy since that’s my natural state. I do not like the ups and downs of a roller coaster life.

Today we celebrate the Feast of Our Lady of Carmel. The Carmelites date back even before Christ, established by the Prophet Elijah. It is a part of the rich Oral Traditions of the Catholic Faith.

About a month ago, while scrolling through Face Book I saw that a somewhat recognizable actor turned house flipper had wished his somewhat recognizable wife turned interior designer a Happy Birthday. How nice.

Today is National Grand Marnier Day. I was all in favor of whipping up my favorite dessert – a Grand Marnier Soufflé served with a Crème Anglaise or Vanilla Custard Sauce. Yeah, that’s my favorite. It’s not Hubby’s favorite when it comes to Soufflés. He prefers a Chocolate Soufflé with a light Dove Chocolate Sauce.

There is so much of this country I have yet to see. I truly wish I had more time to explore every back road and small town. All most of us can do is dream a little and research a lot.

Have you ever checked into a hotel, been shown your room and immediately wondered what were they thinking?
