Three “Last” Things

·by Tamera Alexander

What are your three “last” things?

  1. The last sweet you baked.
  2. The last book you read.
  3. The last picture you took (and if you know plants, please let me know what the name of this plant is!)

I last baked this delicious Keto “Samoa” cookie bar. You might have eaten a Girl Scout Samoa cookie? Well this is the low carb gluten free version of that, and it…is…fabulous!

I’ve been eying this recipe for a while yet haven’t made it before last week. I’m so glad I did.

Next? The last book I read is Sitting at the Feet of Rabbi Jesus by Ann Spangler and Lois Tverberg.

I cannot recommend this book highly enough.

It’s eye-opening and faith-building. Jesus was Jewish, after all, and studying the Bible through the Middle Eastern Lens changes everything. Our Western view is so often skewed and inaccurate.

I listened to the audio version of Sitting at the Feet of Rabbi Jesus on my trips to and from Atlanta recently and, once I finished, I immediately began the next book—Walking in the Dust of Rabbi Jesus which is equally captivating. Having just returned from Israel, I find my yearning for more of Jesus—learning more about how he lived, what the culture was, the deeper meanings in his parables—is especially keen.

Finally, what’s the last picture you’ve taken?

And no cheating. No going back five pictures because that one’s more exciting. : } Just describe the last picture on your phone.

This is mine. A picture of a bedding plant.

Can you name this plant? I can almost think of it but can’t remember.

I snapped this picture last night while Joe and I walked the dogs. We’re getting ready to plant our pots this week and I love this little flower—the vibrant color, the delicate petals, its hardiness.

Can anyone tell me its name?

Okay, your turn!

  1. The last sweet you baked.
  2. The last book you read.
  3. The last picture you took.

Now I’m off to walk the dogs again (exactly who is “master” of whom here!??). But it’s a beautiful spring day in Nashville so I’m off to it! Then I’m back to write, write, write on Carnton book 2, due to my publisher July 1st.

What are your plans for the day?
