The Difference Between Boys and Girls
Today Gracie, my four year old, wanted to learn to read. So we got out the ABeka K4 readers, the one where you read the letter sounds and blend words like C-A-T. By the fifth book I was wanting to quit, but she wanted to finish all ten. I rushed through the last five books,…
Read MoreHe Doesn’t Care About the Cupcakes
© Staci Stallings I remember that day so very well. I was young – four or five. We did something unusual that day, unusual for my house at least. We made cupcakes. With my mom helping out on our family owned and operated dairy, there wasn’t much time for cupcake-baking. But that day, for whatever…

Read MoreWe Remember
I was in my bedroom, half awake, not even dressed for the day. My baby was asleep in his crib so I flipped on the TV and there it was. The buildings on fire, the news commentators playing over and over again the planes flying into the towers. I sat in shock, not fully comprehending…

Read MoreExperiencing Christ Within
I’ve started on a spiritual journey that has me intrigued and excited. Revolution Within and the companion workbook Experience Christ Within by Dwight Edwards is a fresh look at God’s covenant with his people.
