Crazy Confectionary

I am trying to come up with a tenuous worship idea where I can direct you to this crazy site.  They will print a photo onto your M&M’s.  I was really happy to find out that they will also sell you a bag of each individual colour.  I think that it could really help roadies out [...]

A Generous Orthodoxy
