The Conversation, Cannabis & Christianity podcast

You are a light in the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.

Boxing Day pie uses leftover turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce together to make a delicious pie for post holiday festivities. Pastry requires practice for most people, it is not east to make, nor is it easy to make look good. But worth the process of care and work to produce the savory result, just like our lives.
