“But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart” -Matthew 15:18 I am not terribly proud of the things that have been coming out of my mouth lately. I have been feeling an urging to assess the things that I read & watch lately, as well. I really like the suspense [...]

….we had a big party! We had friends and family there… My new family (hubby’s dad, bro & mom) {miss you, Pop!} the crew my cute parents! my baby sis {and my maid-of-honor} dancing with my Daddy to the world’s longest song (neither one of us are big on dancing, or being in the spotlight [...]
Have I mentioned that I was selected to be a part of a review team for The Old Schoolhouse Homeschool Crew? I was SO excited when The Old Schoolhouse Homeschool Crew announced that one of the books up for review was Rachel Carman’s “How to Have a H.E.A.R.T. for Your Children”! I KNEW I needed [...]
I read this great post today by Sally Clarkson (writer, speaker, mom, encourager – I love her!), and oh boy could I relate to it. Not in quite the way that she was describing, though. In her personal Pity Party (her words, not mine!), she talked about being “too much”. In MY pity party, I’m [...]

These two three verses seem to be staring me in the face of late….I think it’s time that I start listening! Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is kept safe. (Proverbs 29:25) Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own [...]
Have you ever been WOWed by another person’s faith? An “I-want-what-they-have” kind of faith? I have had the privilege of meeting several wonderful gals lately with the kind of faith that inspires me to keep seeking the Lord on a deeper level (if you’re visiting here from Seeds of Faith you already know Penny Franklin!).

What is YOUR Life-Verse? You know, the one that lifts you up out the darkness? The one that gives you strength in times of trouble, a light unto your path, a gentle guide when you’re feeling lost and confused? I discovered my life-verse in 2005 when I was struggling to find a way to quit [...]
My church had their Maundy Thursday service last night, where we reflect on the Last Supper, the Betrayal, and the Crucifixion.
