Thought for the day:
You have searched me, Lord,
and you know me.
You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.
You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.
Before a word is on my tongue
you, Lord, know it completely.
You hem me in behind and before,
and you lay your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain.

I'm requesting the pdf for the cinnamon raisin brioche. I can't seem to find it in your site but am sure I saw it just a few days ago.
Love your site and all of the gifting ideas.
Thank you for all the time, effort and ingredients you share.
