Moments Like These…
Sweets sounds from Gracie, my four year old, echo through the darkened room where she and my hubby share a snuggle moment. He’s just finished telling her a princess story he made up. “Come on dad. Sing with me. Tale with old as time. Ah ah ah. True as his cam be (some very mumbled…
Bad News…Part II
I’m really trying to get my priorities in order, and I’m doing better. Writing doesn’t consume my time. The only writing I seem to be doing now-a-days is on this blog, and it’s mostly reflective of what God’s been showing me. I know in my heart that that’s part of the plan, the process to…
Bad News Comes in the Mail Part 1
I used to like getting mail. As child I’d wait by the window for the mailman to come in hopes of getting a letter from the half a dozen pen pals I had. I’d listen to my mom’s old 45 record as I bopped to the fifties style music and I sang along to the…
It Just Makes Me Wonder…
The doors swung open, and I stepped through the red velvet curtain. A gentleman dressed in a red knee length suit jacket greeted me with a smile and handed me a paper. As I walked down the plush red carpet, dark silhouettes assaulted me with bright flashing lights. I stepped into the smoke filled room,…
Revolution Within
I’m going to observe the Silent Sabbath again. This time from Saturday night until Sunday night. But before I do, here’s a little sneak peak of what I’ll be studying tomorrow. 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…
Follow Up Interview Mary DeMuth
Tell us a little about your family and homeschool? I have three children: Sophie (13), Aidan (10), and Julia (8). We currently don’t homeschool; however I did homeschool Sophie for kindergarten and first grade because, at that time, I didn’t feel comfortable with the school system. How long have you been writing and what do…
What Number Are You?
Every time I read Mary’s article on “Pubishing doesn’t Validate Your Life” it helps me put my own writing journey into perspective. I’m a very competitive goal oriented person. I like to plan, dream and work to make it happen in whatever I do. Sometimes though, I plan and move forward on my own, without…
Let Freedom Ring part 2
America: Return to God We’ve been studying the American Revolution and the celebration on Sunday was a great way to wrap up our unit. The church dramatized the founding father’s and their discussion of freedom. It was fun to see Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams come to life before our eyes. We had…
Wipes are Not Just For Bottoms…
Here’s a quick idea for several uses for babywipes. I still keep them around even though my kids are out of diapers. Keep them in your car and purse for quick clean up after messy drive through meals. Keep them in your bathroom for those quick sink, toilet clean ups. I like to use…
Let Freedom Ring part 1
On Sunday we attended an amazing service at a local mega church. They had advertised an “America: Return to God” patriotic service and since we’re between churches, we thought we’d go. The service was not lacking in patriotism or the spirit of God. The choir dressed in red, white and blue, belted out patriotic songs…
