I guess I haven't thought much about how this little community of "young bucks" (as we were once called angrily by an outsider--a name that sort of stuck) impacted the children of the group. Thank you so much. And yes, yes. God is going to continue to use your dad in powerful ways. Mike BJ - Your words — the words of a son of one of our “gang” — bring tears to my eyes.

It's about the size of a roll, with some coconut on top. The bread itself is lightly sweet, about the size of a roll, with some coconut milk (I think baked onto the top). Best of all, baked into the center of it is this buttery, sugary, coconuty mixture that tastes absolutely amazing. And, with coffee, it is heavenly.

In fact, so much that I make sure they are in the front seat with me so I can have a hot one or two! The foraccio bread at the "Blair House B&B" in Wimberley is awesome. Actually, ALL of the food by Exec chef Christopher Stonesifer is scrumptious. The breadsticks at Olive Garden are my favorite breadsticks. My favorite cinnamon rolls are homemade by our cousin Cindy Beard. Can you tell I like bread? Thanks for your posts, yours is definitely one of the first blogs I check out in the morning as you always either give us something fun to think about or inspirational/deep provoking thoughts to leave us pondering.

Over the years I have heard so many stories about this group. Only it has taken resent events for me to understand the significance of this community. I don’t know any of the exact words, but I know the feelings and emotions. Thank you for all you have done for my dad. When times have gotten bad for my dad, I know that you and others will always be there, and that means the world to me. When I heard about the latest news pertaining to my dad, I was comforted by the fact that I knew that people like you had called him and e-mailed him. Preachers, who could understand what was going through his mind, were responding in love. I will never even know half of the things that have happened to my dad. Only I know that God is good, and he is in control. Thank you so much for the kind words you have given. Shalom Mike, I am a son of one of the twenty.

It sounds like the group you've been meeting with is very similar to the one described by Brian McLaren as "deep ecclesiology" in his third book of the <I>A New Kind of Christian</I> trilogy. I have to say that of all the things in that book that made me think, deep ecclesiology made me the most excited. I'm hoping to start that with some people I know.

I use to bake home made rolls and bread, but a few years ago discovered bridgeford frozen bread dough. It is wonderful, and since I've been working full time for several years, I don't have the time or the inclination to mix, kneed, rise, and bake bread anymore. Not to mention cleaning up all the flour that gets every where no matter how careful you are. You can experiment and add herbs or vegetables, or just butter the outside, put it in a loaf pan, let it quick-rise with a pan of hot water under it in the oven and 2 hours later you've got fresh bread. They also have parker house rolls. Be sure not to buy the Rhodes brand, it's not nearly as good. By the way, I'm also one to look for the best guacamole, so far El Chico's top shelf or Pappa Sita's have the best because it's so fresh, but they won't give out the recipe. I've never been quite completely satisfied with what I make at home. But I make a mean black bean salza! Hi Mike,

It is known as County Line in places like Austin, OK City, I think Lubbock, maybe? Also, Ms. Ola Lee Stuart in DeKalb, TX makes the best homemade rolls in the world. She was mainly responsible for packing about 50 lbs. on this once skinny preacher. Lord, deliver me!!! The State Line in ElPaso, TX has some of the best bread I’ve ever eaten.
