Flour Prints


This morning I noticed that when baking bread it is very evident where you have been and what you have been touching; the trail of flour "prints" around the kitchen is very revealing...

As I am baking another batch of bread this morning and as I am cleaning up after myself, God revealed to me how my flour "prints" are very representative of my journey through life and the decisions that I make along the way.

Just like the flour trail around my kitchen, the impact that I have on those around me is directly correlated to the decisions I make and the path that I choose to follow. However, unlike the flour "prints" in my kitchen, my "prints" on those around me are not always very evident, at least not to me...

Today was a good reminder for me to carefully consider my actions and reactions, my thoughts and my dreams; because even if I don't always see my trail of flour "prints" in life, God does...

    First rate site. Visually stunning (reminds me of the delicious bread we enjoyed this morn) and very well written reflections. Carry on Renaissance man.

    I am amazed as I watch you invest almost perfectly in this new passion for creating gifts from flour and water I am reminded of a 25 year journey that we have shared. You have been road and mountain bike aficionado. You have been a masterful sports and trad climber. You dabbled in white water kayaking. You have honed your skills as a astute coffee roaster and now you are the Foothills Ranch Daily Bread Baker. You have been my good friend. You have been a great father and husband. You even are a caretaker for unwanted pets.

    What fuels all this. You clearly are connected to a power greater than yourself. A God that is personal and meaningful to you and the amazing way you are enabled to live life.

    Your bread is remarkable...but what else could be expected.
