WHAT’S ONE FOOD YOU COULD EAT EVERY DAY OF YOUR LIFE? WHAT’S ONE FOOD YOU CAN’T STAND?

I love potatoes or strawberries! I dislike peppers.

WHAT IS ONE FAVORITE VERSE/PASSAGE OF SCRIPTURE?

It is honestly tough to choose. Hebrews 4:15 “because we don’t have a high priest who can’t sympathize with our weaknesses but instead one who was tempted in every way that we are, except without sin,” is a great one. Basically, I love any verses that show how Jesus understands what it is to be human – to grieve, to have loss, to love, to give, to hope, to not give up. I really appreciate that we don’t follow a God who is far away.
