Curious by Tom Hughes
Did you know that of the 183 questions Jesus was asked, he answered only four of them directly? The other 179 he answered with questions (or sometimes a story). Questions are not the enemy of faith; they are the way Jesus most often helped people not just say the right things, but live the right ways. The joy, creativity, and the adventure we were created to live begin with asking the right questions and then living into the answers with God's help.If you are wondering how to draw closer to Jesus and live your unique adventure with him, Curious will help you, question by question, step into the future God has for you. If you are a leader who wonders how to lead well without burning out, Curious will show you how, by asking the right questions, you can help empower those you influence to greater motivation and creativity as they live out their answers to these questions with God's help. As Jesus demonstrated, asking the right questions at the right time, and communicating them in the right spirit, can transform hearts and change the world.
Let Tom Hughes thread together stories that will lead you into a new sense of confidence, not in yourself but in the God who loves you and calls you according to his good purpose.
As a former DC resident who lived within walking distance to Eastern Market on Capitol Hill, I still visit at least once a year. The people, parks, gardens, museums, historic landmarks, alleys, traditions, and transit systems, as well as the weather, are all things I like and enjoy about the city. I am determined to help WDC get appropriately nicknamed as a lifelong geography nerd, map hugger, and above all, student of place nicknames, slogans, and mottos. Yeah, alongside my students at The International School of Brussels in Belgium, I founded the world's first potato museum. Absolutely, the collection on the history and social impact of the potato is believed to be the world's largest.
The Smithsonian's Seeds of Change exhibition, as well as the National Museum of Science and Technology in Ottawa, Canada, have both exhibited it. My wife and I recently arranged an exhibition titled Spuds Unearthed! Yes, The Potato Museum is still looking for a permanent location. Yet, even after thirty years, I still think WDC's moniker is The Hot Potato.
I am a graduate of Syracuse University and City College of New York. I was born in Philadelphia and raised in the ancient Quaker town of Haddonfield in Southern New Jersey. Meredith Sayles, my future wife, and I met in Florence, Italy, where we were both studying. Later, while teaching with the US Peace Corps in Tehran, Iran, we married. We worked in Brussels, Belgium, for a decade and traveled extensively over Europe.
When I was teaching fifth grade at the International School of Brussels, I founded The Potato Museum with my students, which spurred my initial interest in culinary history. Meredith and I have now established The Food Museum Online (http://www.foodmuseum.com) as well as The World Food Heritage Project.
