A Great Little Joint: 101 Bagels

Bobby and I enjoyed coffee and brunch as we met at this little gem in Duluth, GA. He enjoyed what looked like a huge and amazing omelet, and I stuck with the blueberry bagel – YUM! I later got hungry and went for the kill with a blueberry muffin warm with real butter… bless my heart!


A Solid BBQ Joint in Lawrenceville: Foggy Bottom BBQ

The pulled pork and the chicken were awesome! Jenny enjoyed the sliders. The stew was good, but not great. I’d definitely return.


A Really Good Read: Preparing for Christmas

Rohr is an insanely brilliant writer, and with his unique perspective on the incarnation, he writes these short devotions with wit and wisdom. He is a Franciscan Monk, so if you are hung up on orthodoxy, avoid this one. “Advent is not about a sentimental waiting for the Baby Jesus,” Richard Rohr asserts. Advent is a time to focus our expectations and anticipation on “the adult Christ,” who challenges us to empty ourselves, to lose ourselves, to surrender. Rohr’s Scriptural reflections for Advent are the perfect preparation for the Christmas season.


A Netflix Series Worth Watching all Four Seasons: THE CROWN

Okay, so I might have lost the old man card. But as this series went on, I was captivated by how the English Monarchy could be so resilient. I think you’ll enjoy it!


A Family Health Essential: Finger Pulse Oximeter

ACCURATE AND RELIABLE – Accurately determine your SpO2 (blood oxygen saturation levels), pulse rate, and pulse strength in 10 seconds and display it conveniently on a large digital LED display.


A Quote from John Piper

“The “age-old enslavement of the fallen human heart” takes three forms: self-deification (“I will be my own god”), self-definition (“I will define my own essential identity”), and self-determination (“I will decide my own truth and my own morality, without deference to any authority outside myself”).
