Local Christian mentoring business has a new home!!

   Local Christian mentoring business Jesus Our Boss or J.O.B. has a new home!! It is located at 6070 Enterprise Drive in Diamond Springs, California nearby the Lord's Gym. I got to visit J.O.B. recently and got a tour of the business. It is a really cool place!! You can do many things with them such as:

·         Become a Mentor- They will train Mentors in a family oriented process, designed to help people cope with ups and downs of daily life. The Mentors will use a multi-skill curriculum that mirrors many skills used in everyday life.

·         Become a Jesus Our Boss Client- J.O.B. Clients work with mentors in a family-oriented process, designed to help them cope with the ups and downs of daily life.

·         Mentor House- These houses are intended to provide the individual with a successful transition to independent living.

We are friends with a person who works at Jesus Our Boss. We helped with a Texas BBQ Fundraiser that they held a couple years ago.  If you get a chance to see Jesus Our Boss, I would definitely recommend them!! They also have a website: www.jesusourboss.com

Our experience at a fun Gluten free bakery in Bellingham

I am going to talk about our experience at a fun gluten free bakery in Bellingham called Angel's Bakery and Cafe. It is located in Bellingham, Washington at 4260 Cordata Parkway. They have on their menu foods from scones to sandwiches to waffles. I really enjoyed their waffles and their cinnamon rolls which both tasted really good!! The food was so good there that we ate there 4 times!

·         The first time I ate waffles w/ eggs and bacon for lunch before we saw Mt Baker and Mt Shuksan.

·         The second time we ate cinnamon rolls for breakfast before we went to Whidbey Island

·         The third time we got some muffins to take with us to North Cascades National Park

·         The fourth and final time we ate there on our trip was to get sandwiches and chips to eat on the road to the Boeing Factory in Everett

I would recommend this restaurant if you are going on vacation to Northwest Washington or have friends and family in the Bellingham area. Thank you for reading my blogpost!!
