I had great fun going garage “saling” last Friday and Saturday. It was our City Wide Garage Sale. I found a wonderful dark red sign, lettered in white, that I really liked on Friday night. It said, “Always Kiss Me Goodnight” .
Buying that sign, in the country primitive style I love, and buying a second [...]

What’s life without celebration? We celebrate Christmas, New Year’s Day, Easter, Independence Day, weddings, births, so many things. All these times are special, set apart, times for celebrating. What if we were to celebrate ordinary days, ordinary things that make our lives richer?
I’m just beginning to realize how much my children would love more celebration. [...]

Yes, it’s true. I started my Christmas shopping this morning. I found a wonderful yard sale with my dear girlfriend, Miss Sherry. I found some nice Christmas decorations, some of which I’ll use, and some of which will be gifts. I also found a few things that I’ll use before Christmas. Now I just need [...]

“Whatever an education is, it should make you a unique individual, not a conformist; it should furnish you with an original spirit with which to tackle the big challenges; it should allow you to find values which will be your roadmap through life; it should make you spiritually rich, a person who loves whatever you [...]

Hi Friends,
I’ve been thinking of my plans for the coming weekend. Those of you who are Christians know that this is Holy Week. Now, my husband and I are what I call first generation Christians, though some of our parents are now saved. We don’t have traditions that have been handed down regarding Easter. All [...]

I just saw my first daffodils of the season. How exciting! Spring is on the way. How are your Easter plans coming? I’ll be sharing mine soon. The most important thing is to keep our focus on Jesus Christ.
God bless!

Do you go to worship services? I hope so. Check to see if there is any change in schedule or a special service.
Do [...]

Hi,
I guess I’m feeling a little introspective today. I ran across this little saying, “Cherish Yesterday-Dream Tomorrow-Live Today” on a little wooden sign in a country primitive catalog. The above sign is different, but it’s available from www. allposters.com . Don’t you just love country primitive decorating? You can use all the worn out less [...]

I’ll be speaking in our homeschool support group in a couple of weeks about Proverbs 31:20-22. I thought as part of my preparation that I would read the verses in a few different translations and versions. This is how The Message interprets these verses. I thought it was interesting; so, I thought I’d just share [...]
