Little did I know how appropriate those words "feeling groovy" would be to my life nearly 50 years later.

Fortune Cookie Theology for Parents

February 7, 2013 by Stephanie Hubach

But my favorite part of the meal is (by far) at the very end. The fortune cookie. Oh, I know, lots of people think they taste like cardboard and just throw them out.
