This week I will be guest posting at Blessed Beyond A Doubt Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; But happy is he who keeps the law.

Today we start our annual planning time. We've done this every year since 1995. We started out with one day, then a three day weekend, and have steadily added days until we are now taking a full week.

Last week I was reminded of a lesson I thought the Lord had taught me a few years ago, but once again I found that I had my toe just a teeny bit over the line. Let me explain. There was a speaker that really changed my life with some of her teachings. One of the…

Here is a little something to think about as we do our holiday shopping this year. I remember well the first boycott my husband and I participated in.
