The BIG 4-0! Help Me Celebrate!
That’s right, I turn 40 this month! Up until this month I’d actually been looking forward to 40, then some depressing turn of events having to do with owning two houses and not having the money to really celebrate like I wanted to hit, and now, well, my 40th birthday will come and go as…
The Pumpkin Gospel
Where planning of doing this tonight! The Pumpkin Gospel Open with prayer and share “Every Halloween, people carve pumpkins to make jack-o-lanterns. We’re going to carve a pumpkin too, but our pumpkin is going to teach us about the Gospel and God’s promise of heaven. Theme: We become a new creation when Jesus comes into…
You Know You’re Back Home From ACFW WHEN…
1. You wake well rested and miss the symphony of toilet flushes! 2. You still feel that post ACFW conference stooper, and wonder if it was all but a dream because the memories and euphoria are fading. 3. You realize YOU have to cook breakfast. 4. The noise you hear from downstairs is NOT the…
Universal Day Two
I can’t believe I kept you all hanging from my last post about Universal! Life’s been really busy, but I’ll have to save that post for when things are official. Suffice to say, I’m packing up to move. So day two Universal/Islands of Adventure! Hubby woke up with his first case of vertigo and said…
Universal/Islands of Adventure: Day One
When we go to Orlando, which seems to be every other year, we do all things Disney. We heard Universal was for older kids and since our kids were young, we passed on Universal. Now that my two oldest are 13 and 11, we thought it was time for Universal and since we had done…
Strawberries…Umm, Umm, Good!
“Chawcherries!” That’s what Grace called strawberries when she was two. She loved strawberries soooo much I decided her birthday theme would be “Strawberry Shortcake.” Aside from the fun Strawberry Shortcake decorations and cake, we made giant papermache strawberries (which I still have up in the attic) and went on a hunt for strawberries! And of…
He is Alive!
Here’s some great blog posts on Jesus, his death and resurrection! Who is God? What is Easter? Isaiah 53 1Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed? 2 He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground.…
Good Friday
Tonight I’m going to my church’s first ever Good Friday service. My pastor believes Christians focus too much on the resurrection and rush over the part about Christ sacrificing for our sins in a most brutal and painful way. His goal is to take us through the events of Good Friday and make us so…
Look What I’m Making Today! Easter Meat Pie
Growing up I always spent Easter with my dad’s mom, Grandma Julie and my favorite part was eating her Easter Meat Pie and hunting for plastic eggs filled with money. Grandma Julie died when I was twelve, but her memory lives on. Every year I make her Easter Meat Pie which I remember eating cold,…
