namely, one cookie per month for me. I had just consumed enough cookies 
for the next 10 years. I was willing to break the rules just to help 
her in her new project. That's the kind of guy I am. 

Later that evening, I am glad to say, she had mastered her new
convection oven as well as her cookie recipe. I, on the other hand, had

new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become 
new.” (2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV). 

Many people like to hang on to the old, even though it is not working
and is actually dragging them down. Christ offers change. Real change. 
Change you can really believe in.
