    Waffles, or Pancakes?

    Our pancakes are more like French crepes. In my family we use cinnamon in the batter. As for waffles... there should be five hearts (Swedish ones have four hearts) and they could be crispy (made with sour cream) or, as I prefer them, soft, but never hard (too much flour), they should be made...

    Could Trump do anything to make you stop supporting him?

    *happily following the trial, black cap, geriatric candidates and doom and gloom from afar* *Thinking the welfare state and even the monarchy isn't such a bad thing*

    How do you relate to God?

    One of the threads here made me think about what my relationship to God looks like. The question made me smile and even giggle a bit, because I have an almost child-like relationship to Him. I can see myself in His lap when things are chaotic around me, but when I am there, I feel safe and at...

    Should Christians hate Communism?

    In one way the first communist community was the first Christians that gave away all their possessions for the common good. So the solidarity would then could look like communism. But with Marx and Lenin they took the good natured solidarity and replaced God with a "system" where God was a...

    Can Christians have a sense of humour?

    Is there no humour in the Bible? Really? Humour is playful and creative, and the Creator Himself is of course both creative and I would also say have humour. Some of the parables Jesus told are both creative, playful and have humour. The camel and the needle's eye for one. Yes. The message is...

    Falling in love with the potential...

    Thank you for your thoughts. I have kind of moved away from all kind of dating, perhaps because I have been burnt too many times. But in hindsight I see that my mistake was that I had an unrealistic attitude towards it all. As someone here pointed out here, is that I come with a baggage that is...

    Life feels like an echo bouncing back

    To walk in the desert is difficult. You feel like you are on an endless journey and question the voice and presence of God. I can only say that I feel with you, and I hope you find comfort and some direction and answers that are sound and can lead you forward. Keep seeking God for answers, and...

    Falling in love with the potential...

    I have a positive view on most people. We are all created in the image of God after all. And I see the good and also beauty in everyone. And everyone has a potential. But does this approach make me gullible? Possibly. I have failed more than once (albeit just marrying once, and indeed he had a...

    It all started with an apple

    I agree that from a human point of view I love the way knowledge has made the world open to us women is good and we cant reverse that. But knowledge and wisdom are two different things, and without the wisdom you end up with envy and social instability.

    It all started with an apple

    Well. I tried to say that the thirst of knowledge (apple) is what drives humankind forward but also away from God. And it is irreversible and creates social instability. It would be great to go back in the time before the fall, but that won't happen. So we are kind of stuck in the drive for more...

    It all started with an apple

    It all started with an apple. The thirst of knowledge. The curiosity that didn't kill the cat, but the innocence of mankind. 'for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. ' Genesis 3:5...

    Do you listen to podcasts?

    I think of a CS Lewis quote when I listen to podcasts. "We read to know we are not alone". But I apply it to listening instead
