This is a post I wrote about a year ago. So it is a little long-winded but worth the read! 🙂 When You Feel Like You Ain’t “Feelin’ It” Col 2:13  “And you, who were dead in your trespasses…God made alive together with him…” A while back, I went on a two week excursion with […]

Sometimes a good story is worth re-telling.  If you are Facebook friends with me, then you may have seen this before.  I just love this story… Max was a Yorkie.  He was cute, but he thought our house was his toilet…the end…of MAX that is… We took the money from selling Max (yes, we sold […]

I always say “For all the cleaning I do in this house, something otta be CLEAN!”  But alas, it isn’t. I have 3 children and a husband to help make plenty of messes-not to mention the fact that I live here too!  (And I may or may not help contribute to our messiness…) I told […]

My youngest is our little guy Samuel.  He is a zany, smiley little fella and ALL boy! He does lots of great stuff that only boys think of.   One of those things is lapping up whatever may have spilled on the floor, just like a little puppy dog.  At times, it is really funny to […]

SURPRISE!! So, yeah-I wasn’t fully done with the thought from before…  In an effort to keep to short and sweet, I sort of left out the “sweet” part.  I hate to leave you without THE key to putting to death desires that would lead us to throwing a fit over not getting what we want.  […]

<!–[if !mso]>st1\:*{behavior:url(#ieooui) } <![endif]–> If you have ever seen Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory then you have met the tenaciously abrasive Veruca Salt.  You know, the one that sings “Don’t care how, I want it now”?  Veruca has a stubborn will that could power a fleet of bullet trains, and she is definitely “worth […]

What to share, there is so much…too much, so I suppose small, yet profound is the best way to do it… Not too long ago I heard, for the first time, my husband tell his story about an occasion when he was so excited to tell his youth pastor something that impacted him.  A short […]
