Give Thanks

Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever. Ps. 118:1
Today I sit smiling….It’s an amazing feeling to love and to be loved.  Thank you, God for loving me, allowing me to be loved and showing me how to love others.

Little Women

Recently we went to see a high school production of a book that our family really enjoys, Little Women by Louisa May Alcott.  We’ve read the book, watched the movie, and even listened to the radio theater production in the van while traveling.  Our family is very familiar with the story.  It’s a very precious [...]

Toilet Paper Fun

Last weekend a black stretch limo pulled up in front of the house across the street from us.   Pretty amazing to see one of those in our neighborhood, so it was neat for our kids to see.  
What surprised me was that I looked out the window and saw about 10-12 little girls (about [...]

One Way

The church of Oprah exposed.  Christians open your eyes and be aware of what is going on.   Do not be deceived.   She is powerful and leading many astray.  
Hebrews 3:12-13 See to it, brothers, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. But encourage one another [...]

The end of a season

”There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven…” Today I’m mourning what could soon be the end of a season for me.  I don’t have all the details right now, but I have a growth in my body that needs to be removed.  In order to do that, my uterus will [...]

Pumpkin Math

I enjoy fall time so much. One of my favorite activities to do with my kids involves using a pumpkin for math.  We make a chart and each person guesses or makes an estimation of many things about our pumpkin.  Makes for a fun morning of math activities! 
For example:  Will it sink or float?  How [...]

Armor of God

We’ve just finished reading Little Pilgrim’s Progress.  It’s truly an amazing book that gives illustrations of what our life is like when we decide to follow Jesus.  We become pilgrims on a journey and meet all kinds of things on that journey.  The road is narrow and can be difficult at times.   The King [...]
