Biscuits and Bluegrass

The Loveless Cafe was on an episode of Throwdown with Bobby Flay a few years ago.  Bobby Flay's peppery biscuits beat out Loveless' buttery-biscuit goodness, but it's still a famous place, nevertheless.  Last weekend, I took my very country boys (don't worry, they were wearing shoes) to eat free biscuits and hear some bluegrass music at the iconic spot.  We had a blast!

Chomping down on the free biscuits...

Listening to the bluegrass...

Making pottery....Emmanuel was so proud...he did it with his own hands...

Painting the pottery at home...

Emmanuel was so proud.  He kept carrying his little bowl around and showing it to everyone.  He was beaming because he created something of value with his own hands...

As his parent, I love opportunities for him to create because it gives me another example to remind him of God's delight in us, his creation...in God's desire for relationship with us, his creation...in God's crazy, unconditional, grace-filled love for us, his creation.

And, that, my friends, is way better than free biscuits...
