Simply Divine Botanicals is the heartchild of Master Herbalist and Natural Healer Barbara Rogers. The name of the line comes from the happenstance that made a dream of creating pure potions into a reality beyond scientific imagination. Dedicated to health and healing, (Barbara opened the first Raw Food restaurant in Las Vegas) when she realized the effects of harmful chemicals applied to the skin, her quest began.

This is why Paul can tell the Athenians, “The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man, nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything” (Acts 17:24–25). The living God isn’t in any need. He doesn’t need anything to be better, to be more God, or to be more fully himself. He depends on nothing. He has fullness of being. He has life in himself. So while we talk about the different attributes of God, it is not as if holiness and righteousness and justice are different ingredients that have been mashed together to produce God. He is simple, not a compound.Rather than organize it by types of recipes with all the appetizers in the front, she organized it by the mood of the party you might want to host, putting all the contenders for one party in one chapter. This makes it easier for the party host trying to pull together a cohesive menu. One of the key moments of God’s self-revelation in Scripture happens at the burning bush, when Moses asks God, “What is your name?” God answers, “I am who I am” (Exodus 3:14). Theologians call this the doctrine of God’s self-existence or aseity (from the Latin a se, meaning “from/of himself”).

Brilliantly stylish, funny and a craze up until this time! Apparently, the two magazine companies that fancified the narrative of the heroine speak the entirety of the novel— Gorgeous and Fabulous! Simply Divine is a good cookbook and entertaining guide. Vanderpump speaks with the authority of lived experience. It will surprise some who think Vanderpump is some la-di-dah lotus eater. She’s a restauranteur and there is not way to rise in that field without hard labor and long hours of real work. It shows in her tips for making it easier, and for making it seem easier. Let me illustrate with a little thought experiment. Imagine that the Father, Son, and Spirit are just three parts, three qualities God has chosen to adopt. If that is the case, then deep down, God the Father is not Fatherly in his essential being. At some point, he simply decided to start becoming Fatherly. In which case the Father has not loved the Son for all eternity. God is not, eternally, love. The very character of God must be different from what we see in Scripture. Yet in the New Testament, the Son can say, “Father, . . . you loved me before the foundation of the world” (John 17:24). The eternal Son, the one through whom all things were created, who is before all things (Colossians 1:15–19), who is Lord and God, was loved by the Father for all eternity. The Father, then, is eternally the Father of the eternal Son, and he finds his very identity, his Fatherhood, in loving his Son. Crucially, no! For God has not chosen to have or co-opt three parts called Father, Son, and Spirit. God is Father, Son, and Spirit. The difference may sound petty, but it is in fact most profound.She recognizes great people and keeps them on her crew. Our event manager was on point, responsive, and wonderful!!
