Boyhood Fun

This is our son Nathan’s latest interest – You must not care whether you live or die.

Every one’s breath stinks in the morning!

Questions and comments I’ve heard a lot recently: “How do you get it all done?!” “Your house is always so clean, what is your secret?” “Your children sit so still and behave so well in church.” “How do you manage to make so many things from scratch and still have time to prepare meals?” “You’re so hospitable and entertaining [...]

Eternal Relationships

I came across a very familiar verse today which is always a great pleasure to read concerning the second coming of Christ. It is found in 1 Thessalonians 4:17 and tells us this: “Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in [...]

Think About It Thursday – Happy Birthday!

I had a wonderful birthday this week. My dear husband watched the children for 2 days so I could spend time with friends doing what I like to do – shopping, drinking coffee, and eating with my favorite people. Thank you honey. Because birthdays are on my mind I thought I would share some cute [...]

Good folk…

Amid packing and moving this week, the neighborhood children threw a going-away party for our 4 older kids. They had it planned for days and were so excited to do something nice for our family. I appreciate that so much. It warmed my heart for these almost strangers to tell us we were the best [...]

I’m baaaaack!

Hello! I wanted everyone to know that we are moved and in the process of settling in. Sounds so much easier in writing than in reality. I think most everything is unpacked except for books and a couple more kitchen boxes of dishes that I just don’t have room for. We had our last service [...]

Happy Fourth of July!

From our family to yours! It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace–but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand [...]

Bugs, Birthdays, Broken Bones, Baby, & this Blog!

I am sure you all have noticed that I’ve not written in over a week! I’ve just not had much computer time in the last few days. I’ve had tons of ideas to write on but was too distracted and pre-occupied by all the happenings around here… Today, I stayed home from church because of [...]
