Have you ever heard the saying, “If you find yourself in a hole……. Stop digging?” I woke up with this saying in my mind early one morning. I started to think, How was I digging in regards to food? I realized that I was sabotaging myself and digging a deeper hole to get […]
Two Forms for Studying Scripture
Way back in the early 1990’s when I was homeschooling our two teenagers through high school, I wanted a way to help them ~ and myself ~ study Scripture in greater depth, in an orderly, organized, uncomplicated way.

Lord, I have a lot going on today; many things on my plate. You said You’ll be with us always, which includes TODAY!

The Run-away Mixer
I’m not the neatest baker, nor is my mixer the neatest mixer, at least not when its beaters, generously coated with batter, get turned up to the highest speed. No idea how I did that, but I did, and I had quite the mess to clean up! Since I couldn’t tend to clean-up right away, (I had to finish getting the […]
Two Rosebuds Flourishing in the Light
Several weeks ago a couple came over for dinner (yes, we had invited them; they didn’t just show up) and brought us a potted miniature rose plant. It had some pretty red roses blooming, and was healthy and thriving. Which actually made me feel bad that it was now going to have me for its […]
