As I write this we have been without running water for 24 hours. We are in the middle of replacing our 31-year-old furnace. It was supposed to be an easy job – five days – in and out – no problem. Only yesterday they accidentally drilled through the water pipe to our house. In 1992 when…

Being very frugal, I began by using very inexpensive little notebooks to write in.

I recently read this article by Jeannie Fulbright on journaling. Once again I was reminded of the importance of journaling. I’ve kept a journal since I became a Christian. I had never prayed before, I didn’t really know how to, but I loved writing so I decided to write letters to the Lord as a way to…

“Do not sorrow, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.” Nehemiah 8:10b NKJ Strength…do you wonder as I so often do, where the strength will come from for all that you are being asked to do? These last weeks have stretched me far beyond what I thought I was able to do. This seems to be…

Being a grandmother and needing photos of children for this post I chose to use my two darling great granddaughters. Two of the more recent quotes I've read about children are: “The Bible calls debt a curse and children a blessing. But our culture applies for curses and rejects blessings.” ~ Doug Phillips "I am going to…

We’ve had a lot of very good teaching in this area. We know many ways to work on our relationship, yet we are guilty of putting it on the back burner to see to “more important” things.

Ephesians 5:33 “Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.” Proverbs 14:1 “Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.” Yup, I decided to tackle this one first.

Cleanse Us of anything You Cannot Bless

As I began reading an e-mail, this line caught my eye and tugged at my heart. We have been discussing this very thing in our home off and on for several months. We’ve slid into making choices of good things, which has kept us from choosing the best things. It’s easy to understand wanting to kick…
