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 […]

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.

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 […]

Mubarak, Aggies and Duct Tape on my brain.

These are my thoughts this morning…disregard if you have something better to do…like polishing your mailbox flag or have a seat and explore my mind.  (Be careful…it is a dangerous place!) People in Egypt are fighting for their rights this a.m. (I get that!)  but why is it that every clip I see on the […]

Homeschool Hints for Teachers Part 1

I always could use extra help in homeschooling. Most of the time, I feel like I am re-learning everything. I teach three different grade levels and it has been a while, since I have been in those grades. So, I am putting to practice, do unto others, as you would have them do unto you. […]
