A good summer read

Are you looking for a great summer read?

I have been kind of incognito for a while. Life has changed in the last year, drastically. For one, we had a baby. Well, not me. But, our family. In other words, we are adopting again. I will share more in the future. It is amazing how this little one came to be in our […]

It is well with my soul. A 5th grade memory. Learning to “laugh at myself.”

Emotional Wreck Week

Emotional Wreck Week

For whatever reason, what we thought was going to be, isn’t.

We are crushed, but not broken. Hurt but not dismayed.

What we held n our hands and got to love on for very few short hours was amazing for this side of Heaven.

Lake living blessings

Great NEWS! After a year of destruction – we have a blessing!

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.  And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. Jeremiah […]

Praying for our leaders

It is no secret that our country is a little messed up. I’m not foolish enough to state who I voted for or didn’t vote for in the last election.  It might just surprise you if I did. The other night at the dinner table my eldest asked a question about our President.  I think […]

Homemade Egyptian School Projects –The Sphinx

Shameless Plug: I’m posting at The Homeschool Post today – “What Home School is REALLY like.” Please go visit and leave a comment. We have been doing an Egyptian Study for weeks. Each child had a project to do without me (the teacher) but they could use their Dad’s help.  (Don’t you love how I […]
