In my global quest for the perfect pastry, I’ve savored croissants in Parisian patisseries, indulged in pistachio cannoli in Florence, and delighted in chocolate cakes from Lucern's finest resturants. Yet, Mustang Bakery in Libby, Montana, under the masterful hands of third-generation baker Ben Kaufman, stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the world’s greatest. This unassuming storefront at the …

To the King Eternal, Christ Jesus, Sovereign of Heaven and Earth,We, Your unworthy servants, bow before Your throne, pleading Your mercy for our friends lost in this world’s clamor.

Have you ever had something happen to you then realize after the fact how it happened? Or have you ever seen something that didn't look right at the moment, but later made sense?

I really don't mind the idolatry of making Trump statues or putting him on a pedestal. It may be true idolatry for some, but for the majority of us our Trump worship is just plain fun! It's like the giggles we get when we see him dance. Or the grin we enjoy when we see …
