A Resolution Worth Keeping
I had heard about you before, but now I have seen you with my own eyes.” Job 42:5 Good intentions. Our lives are full of them. And when it comes to finding time to spend one-on-one time with God, the proverbial “road” is paved with them. Well aware of this struggle in my own life,…
Truvia is the True WINNER!
I started using Stevia, a non-caloric herb sweetner when my mom moved in a year ago. I had always heard of it, but never tired it. Now I’m hooked. No more real sugar (well, occasionally) and definitely no Sweet and Low, Nutrasweet or Splenda. The only drawback to Stevia is that some people say it…
Why, Lord?
The people walking in darkness have seen a great light;on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned. Isaiah 9:2 NIV I glide down the highway, the taste of Diet Coke and potato chips lingering. My thoughts are louder than the radio, so I turn the music…
What are you passionate about?
Your husband? Hopefully. Your kids? Yes. God. YES! What about the stuff you do in your daily life? Can you honestly say you’re following your passions? This is a quote from Debbie Macomber’s book Knit Together. If you haven’t read it, you should. I highly recommend it. It’s about Debbie’s journey to becoming a NY…
Win The Ultimate Pepsi Super Bowl Party Pack!
About the only time I watch football is during the Superbowl. And the only time I get excited is when the Giants are playing. (My roots go NY deep.) I don’t even know who’s in the play offs right now, and probably won’t even know who’s playing until the big day, but I know a…
The Mission Minded Family
My husband and I first got to know each other on a missions trip to Nigeria, Africa. We were both passionate about missions and fell in love with the Nigerian people. I went a second summer and spent six months on a missions internship. He went on missions to Mexico over Spring Break. When we…
On Transparency With Self
Okay, so we talked about being honest with God and being honest with others–not easy things to do–but before we can do that we have to be honest with our self–maybe the hardest of all. Why is it so hard to be honest with our self? To see our self as we truly are? Pride.…
The Perfect Match by Susan May Warren
Susan May Warren is a WONDERFUL and GENEROUS writer who shares what she knows! And her books prove she knows what she shares! I always learn something new when I listen to her and it seems like the girl has an unlimited wealth of knowledge. I can’t wait to crack the binding and dig into…
Publishing is NOT Dead Yet!
And how do I know? Because several of my unpublished friends have received contracts in the last TWO to THREE months! Let me count, Ronie, Myra, Christa, and I know I’m forgetting one or two others, but that gives me hope. What also gives me hope is my agent who’s working for me and said…
Themed Dinners
I’d like to be able to take credit for this, but I can’t. Years ago, I subscribed to several magazines and always tore out pages of ideas, put them in a three ring binder and then never looked at them again. Well, with the internet so convenient and our recent move, I thought I didn’t…
