I am currently reading a book entitled God’s Continent - Christianity, Islam and Europe’s Religious Crisis by Philip Jenkins. Jenkins has written several books on the state of global Christianity (You may have read a review of this book in a recent issue of Christianity Today). I have read parts of his previous [...]

Before I knew Jeff I had no idea how crazy Baltimorians are about their steamed crabs & Old Bay seasoning. It’s taken a few years and several crab feasts with Jeff’s extended family, but now I can do about a dozen myself. It’s slow going - a lot of work for a little meat - [...]

“I understand no German.”

It’s every mother’s sanity. Mothers that I know who’s children don’t nap or rest are usually on the brink of insanity. I’ve been [...]

We came home from the beach with crabs. I guess that could be taken many ways but I mean real hermit crabs. In order to relive the glory days of old, Ed & Ann bought Ewan two hermit crabs, just as they bought Jeff & Jason hermit crabs many moons ago… The first one he [...]

Don’t navigate away. It’s us. We’re here. We’ve had some construction going on over here at A Beautiful Collision.
It started with my boredom over the green & headlights backdrop of our previous theme, which launched into a search for a more simple yet likable McMullenish theme. This one we can vary from time-to-time without changing [...]
