My first pie
An important part of a sabbatical is discovering the passions you were created by God to have, and what to do with them. God designed us to BE not to DO. As I explore this, I am drawn to pie. I had never made one on my own, but recently I was inspired by a friend named Alyssa who made her first pie for me… and it was amazing. I said to myself – I must one day learn to make pie. So I did. This is my first pie.
It is an apple pie. Not the best pie ever, but quite good nonetheless. I’m just posting this to inspire you all to discover your passion, and step out in it. I’ll leave you with the words of the sage Jack Handey;
“When you die, if you get a choice between going to regular heaven or pie heaven, choose pie heaven. It might be a trick, but if it's not, mmmmmmm, boy.”

I'm so proud of you for making a pie! It looks really nice too! I am still learning the art of making pie. I have mastered tarts, and cheesecake but the all-mighty pie eludes me.
