How spiritual does someone have to be for God to look out for them? I think we would all easily answer that God doesn’t base His blessing on some invisible spiritual meter. I would answer that way, except I don’t really believe it. This is why I worry. But today something amazing happened. We wereContinue reading “If The Birds Aren’t Ignored…”

It’s Late…Or Should I Say Early…
It is almost three in the morning and I’m up. Very up. Wide awake in fact. Since I am anticipating tomorrow to be a rather busy day, this is quite inconvenient. But alas, this quiet time has allowed me the opportunity to gaze upon a beautiful writing of the great Spurgeon. Nothin like the Spurg really early in the morning! IContinue reading “It’s Late…Or Should I Say Early…”
He’s A Two Year Old Now…
Its official…I am the mother of a little boy who is two. On this day, two years ago I was laying in my hospital bed overwhelmed with all sorts of feelings. I remember what I thought of when I first laid eyes on him. Which, by the way, was not the way all the moviesContinue reading “He’s A Two Year Old Now…”
Thinking About Halloween….
Halloween is fastly approaching, which means there have been quite a few conversations had between Chris and I as to what our stance on it is. We do this every year. We re-access how we feel about this tradition. As Christians it is important to thoughtfully think through these issues. And even more so whenContinue reading “Thinking About Halloween….”
Borsht…
Mmmmm…it’s soup season! Why do I always feel like I am cursing when I say Borsht? Oh those crazy Germans and there angry sounding words! Anyway, I think Borsht is one of the greatest soups ever! I know that makes me seem really old, but this soup is so yummy and very good for you. So hereContinue reading “Borsht…”
Christmas Time Is Here…
“…Happiness and cheer…fun for all the children call…there favorite time of year!” Okay, so Christmas time is not here yet (I just can’t seem to get this song out of my head). But only in a couple of weeks will Christmas music make a return in my home, and you can bet you’ll start hearingContinue reading “Christmas Time Is Here…”
Wise Words For Mothers…
I love learning from other moms. The only problem is I tend to get caught up in the “specific’s.” When I meet a mom and I see that her children are acting rather well-behaved I often wonder, “Hmmm what kind of disciplinary method does she use?” As a mom, it’s easy to start getting really pragmatic and questionContinue reading “Wise Words For Mothers…”

I have decided to make these a holiday Monday morning thanksgiving weekend tradition. Give it a shot…I know you’ll love em! Pumpkin Pancakes 2 cups flour 2 tbsp sugar 4Continue reading “Pumpkin Pancakes…”
Pirate Jesus…
Just had to share this. Read this post and this post from Tim Challies blog. These are two quotes from John Eldredge’s new book Beautiful Outlaw. I can’t help but ask the question. Do these quotes reflect the Jesus of the Bible? I don’t know, call me a skeptic, but they just don’t seem to mesh. IContinue reading “Pirate Jesus…”
Critical Over Courageous…
If you are as enveloped in the Christian world as I am, you have probably heard of or gone and seen the new movie titled Courageous. This is the fourth film created and produced by Sherwood Baptist Church in Albany, Georgia. And it is mostly getting rave reviews by many Christians around the globe (well,Continue reading “Critical Over Courageous…”
