This year, I wanted to try new baking as part of our Easter dinner in lockdown with my husband. I have extra time, and it would help the day seem more celebratory if special never-before-have-I-made comfort food were involved. I decided to give cross buns a try.

My Resurrection is Assured: Easter 2015
As was the man of dust, so also are those who are of the dust... 1 Cor. 15:48a I am but dust. This morning, I had not been awake five minutes when that familiar burning pain began again somewhere in my stomach area. Almost in the middle, but slightly to the left. "Please, stop.
