$\"\"$ <\/a>\n<\/p>

I have a new post at the Christianity Today<\/em> women\u2019s blog<\/a> on Beth Booram<\/a> and J. Brent Bill\u2019s<\/a> new IVP<\/a> book, Awaken Your Senses.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

The post starts out talking about empty tomb cakes, which I first learned about from my very creative friend Emily:<\/a><\/p>\n

This, year, as last, I\u2019ll make an empty tomb cake for my Sunday school class of 4- to 6-year-olds. I\u2019ll bake one small square cake for the base, and one small dome-shaped cake for the tomb. I\u2019ll frost both with sand-colored frosting, perhaps scatter raw sugar for a sandier appearance, and carve out a hollow in the dome\u2019s side. Candy-coated chocolate rocks will accent the ground. A large plain cookie will become the rolled-away boulder, guarded by a tiny wooden angel. Two wooden women will approach the empty tomb. We\u2019ll look quietly at the cake for a while; we\u2019ll tell the story, and we\u2019ll eat the cake.<\/em><\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

And goes on to talk about how Awaken Your Senses <\/em>encourages Christians to slow down, to live fully in the bodies we\u2019ve been given, and to experience the wonder of God with more than just the left sides of our brains.<\/p>\n
