Book Review: The Bakery Dragon

The Bakery Dragon is a children’s fantasy book written and illustrated by Devin Elle Kurtz. It was published in 2024 by Alfred A. Knopf (Penguin Random House is the parent company). The story is about a little dragon named Ember who, like all dragons, loves gold more than anything.

Sweetwater Creek


I made this video a couple of months ago using footage I took at Sweetwater Creek Park. I really enjoyed my time at the park. I loved walking through the forest taking pictures and videos and watching the creek flow over the rocks. It was all beautiful.

Thinking of God's wonderful creations reminded me of Romans 1:20, which says "For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse," (NKJV). God's creation, which is all things including us, shows His eternal power and His glory. Sometimes I think about how amazing and miraculous it is that I have life and that I exist, and how amazing it is that people exist. We exist and have life because of God. He is the one who created the world and breathed life into us, and He and Jesus are worthy of all the glory and praise. There is no reason why we should not glorify and thank Him for everything He has done for us. God is truly awesome and He amazes me.
