Ed Note: As you know, I have been encouraging everyone I know for 15 years to filter their drinking water as just basic “health Insurance.”  I wanted you to know that Multi-Pure Filters are making a life and death difference for Haitians.  If you know anyone going to Haiti for Relief Efforts, please contact Multi-Pure’s [...]

Lately I have made it a challenge to spend less energy on traditional menu planning and weekly shopping.

I know it sounds a bit heretical, but instead, I have been searching through my freezer, pantry, and refrigerated produce bins to see what needs using up and then thinking of a recipe that would use most of [...]

A scripture that I has perplexed me for nearly twenty-five years is James 1:2:  “Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of our faith produces steadfastness.  And let steadfastness have its full effect that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.”

Today was going to be my kitchen cabinet/counter/lighting/flooring, etc shopping day except it has turned into a snowy, icy road day.  Yes, I am starting to undertake the huge,  gigantic project of Kitchen Remodeling!

Last week I wrote that my desire is to grow more in love with Jesus, daily, with his help this year.  

Reader Karen Boyd replied with a very neat word picture. Karen writes:

“Yesterday, at church, the Lord showed me something, and I thought I would let you [...]

I awakened this morning to 2 degrees.  These extremely cold temperatures started in early December and haven’t relented.  I notice the South East is having unusually cold temps after a surprise Christmas snow storm.  Did anyone notice the extreme colds and winter storms began after the Copenhagen Global warming summit?

The question of the day is, [...]

My family and I just got back from a short trip to Snow Mountain Ranch, near Winter Park, Colorado. The snowy Sleigh Ride with amazing horses highlighted our get-away.  We celebrated Laura and Brandon’s first anniversary.   On New Year’s Eve, I had to say good bye to Laura and son-in-law Brandon as they had [...]
