I have to confess that I dropped the ball last week with this series. Life just happened, and I didn’t get my weekly journal entry posted – because I didn’t do the devotional. Honestly, I can’t even remember what happened, it just didn’t get done. This whole Being More Disciplined thing isn’t easy sometimes. It goes against my “natural tendencies,” it seems. What’s more, I intended to write a series… Continue Reading
Sweet Drops Cola Liquid Stevia by SweetLeaf Review
If you’re like many people today, you are looking for more natural options in your family’s diet.

She’s really good at that, actually! I… Continue Reading
Created to be Orderly – Clean Heart Journal – Week Five
Today, I’m thankful for divine protection during the night – some very strong storms moved through our area in the middle of the night and I was blissfully unaware of any impending danger! We awoke to the news that a 14 year old boy was killed when a tree fell on his home, so sad. My prayers go out to his family. I didn’t really want to get up… Continue Reading
Imagine With Me – Restoring the Waning Art of the Word
Last Sunday, my husband and I hopped on the Harley and met up with some “biker” friends of ours for an afternoon ride.

I can just relax and think about whatever…or nothing… Continue Reading
