Thank you so much, Pastor Ashcraft!
If you, your family and my readers were with me, I’d have made us a French Opera cake (fairly low-carb and high fat, in keeping with my ketogenic way of eating):
The only thing I still need to improve is writing ‘Opera’ on the top!
Your posts really lift my mornings and give me great encouragement in my Christian walk. I am always delighted to read about the Lighthouse Christian School and am particularly pleased that you have a co-ed soccer team. More power to you all through the Almighty God’s grace!
May God continue to bless you, your family and those to whom you minister!
My sincere thanks for your beautifully expressed wishes!

Thank you! I, too, am glad for your ministry as well as your edifying posts and comments here!
I plan on citing a few more of your observations if not before Easter, then soon thereafter.
May God continue to bless you, your family and your ministry. Everything you say is true (I also grew up in small towns for the first decade of my life and learned much from that experience).

Thank you very much!
Funny you should mention cheesecake. That’s also on the ketogenic eating plan (crumb crust, therefore, minimal carbs).
A good idea for Easter — thanks!
