Cooking with the Bible
BY LES MOROSO
We all know the bible is a great reference book for those seeking wisdom, life purpose or answers to questions pertaining to the Christian faith. What most people don't realize is that the bible is also an informative source of culinary delights. Among the clutter of the world wide web I found a website called "Biblical Cooking" which features more than mouth watering biblically inspired recipes.

First and foremost, Biblical Cooking is a purpose driven ministry aiming at providing tools and guidelines helping people adopt a healthier, more godly culinary lifestyle.

Based in St Petersburg, FL the user friendly website caters to a wide array of patrons by featuring healthy, biblical recipes using ingredients acceptable to God. The Biblical Cooking website also provides inspirational scripture, links to popular books and even scientific data that help reinforce the importance of biblical ingredients in every day cooking.

Biblical Cooking representatives shared they will soon be unveiling their first Biblical Cooking print publication which will not only rival best selling cook books, it will change the way Christians cook all together. The planned highly colorful cooking guide will include award winning photography, mouth watering dishes and word referenced biblical recipes. Look for this extraordinary book coming soon.

Wearing Verses
BY BRUNO LEVINE
Christian clothing is nothing new. People have been wearing shirts with crosses or verses from the bible for decades. What's interesting about this endeavor is that the clothes are designed to be more than biblically inspired casual wear, they are part of a mission from God.

Grace is a three and a half year that loves the zoo and Disney World theme parks. She is sweet, intelligent and very social. Gracie's smiles are abundant, her waving hellos irresistible. It's no wonder her mom and dad started an internet business based on those attributes and the fact she is simply adorable.

"We go to the zoo or Disney once or twice a week" says her dad, a former Disney cast member. He adds "We figure Gracie can either wear a princess shirt or a more purpose driven one with bible verses or an inspirational message printed on it. You'd be amazed how may people ask us where we got her shirts." The Wear a Verse endeavor started out with a single homemade t-shirt that drew immediate attention. Today, the Florida based Wear a Verse organization ranks among the most popular biblically inspired casual clothing companies in America. Not bad for a business that started out with an iron-on transfer on an old white t-shirt.

Quiet Beaches
BY LIZZY ROSS
I love watching the sun play hide and seek with clouds over Madeira Beach. Another sweltering hot spring is slowly giving way to yet another wonderful sunshine state summer where perfect sunsets are indeed a dime a dozen.

Florida beaches are recovering from a busy season as the sunshine state readies itself for millions of tourists that will once again flock to the America's most popular coastal areas over the next few months.

It turns out winter is my favorite time of the year in FL. I love hiking and biking, which are both near impossible in the summer time, and I'm also a big fan of long afternoons on the beach, try that on a blistering summer day.

To me there is nothing quite like getting up early on Saturday, loading the minivan and driving to the beach. Watching my five and two year old daughters build sand castles running back and forth to the water's edge while my husband plays volleyball is priceless and irreplaceable. Florida winters are simply exquisite... I'll sure miss them!
