Matthew & Jesus

80 days, 225 posts.

We watched Julie & Julia last night.

365 days, 524 recipes.

A 29 year old, Julie, moves to Queens, NY with her husband, Eric. They live above a pizzeria. She works a dead-end job in the wake of September 11th, but loves cooking. She also happens to be a writer (unpublished). I learned this lesson in the movie and then read it this morning, "Committed and persistent work pays off."

Julie learned how to be a cook from Julia Child's example. She learned how to be a writer (a published one!) from doing it, blogging her thoughts every day for a year.

I learned how to be a better husband from Paul Child's example. I'm learning how to be a solo pastor, traveling this road with you. But most importantly, as I dive into the word each day, I connect with the Word made flesh. Whether it's Proverbs or Leviticus, Jesus is there in every page. I am re-claimed as God's precious child every morning.

1,108 days to go.

How many posts?

How many lives transformed by God's grace?
