Today as I left the Hardee's drive thru, I told the girl how thankful I was for her and her crew as they make my mornings easier and more pleasant. Her previously curt demeanor changed before my eyes! Not tooting my own horn, but encouraging you to think outside the box with your thankfulness. I challenge you to choose one (or two or ten) person(s) today that only slightly touch your life

Ah, Fall. A return to schedules, notebooks and backpacks. The crisp air becons us to shake off the haze of summer and dive into leaf piles and pumpkin patches.At our house, autumn brings about a magical change. My husband calls it Martha Stewart Syndrome. I want to bustle about the kitchen baking and stewing all sorts of heavenly treats. I dig out the aprons that were too hot for summer and wrap

A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord, A wonderful Savior to me; He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock, Where rivers of pleasure I see. Refrain: He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock, That shadows a dry, thirsty land; He hideth my life in the depths of His love, And covers me there with His hand, And covers me there with His hand. A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord, He taketh my burden

We've all seen 'em. You know the ones. The folks who walk into the local big-box garden center looking to fulfill their dreams of growing 4 pound tomatoes or blue ribbon-worthy pumpkins. Whatever their motivation - from a yearning for simplicity, a desire to eat more organically, or frugality - they've now decided to put in a garden. And could there be anything more inviting to a salesperson than

Friends, the surgery has quite done the trick! I found out my poor body has been battling several severe conditions for decades! Can you believe it?? Other than the typical winter junk (colds, asthma) I feel FANTASTIC!I'll be posting a lot more now, and have so much to share!! But right now I'm on deadline for the sports magazine...see you again soon!

Dear friends, my long absences are unavoidable. I'm having a multitude of health issues. Hopefully my newly scheduled hysterectomy will alleviate some of them. I have found a wonderful website, HysterSisters. Women helping and supporting other women. It isn't an overtly Christian site, but the premise is absolutely Biblical.

I've been invited by a treasured friend from my past to join the "United Against Westboro Baptist" group. My initial reaction was "Oh Yeah!" - a reaction stemming from my emotions more than my brain. First,from a Constitutional standpoint, I cannot join. Because taking away their right to peacefully assemble (no matter how hateful their rhetoric), it becomes the first domino on a downhill slant.

I really love menu planning! Not only does it keep me organized in my shopping, it has saved us a great deal of money. It's much easier to just go out to eat when you don't have a plan! That's why I participate in Organizing Junkie's Menu Planning Monday! And away we go!!!

Today - on my day off - I'm washing clothes, washing dishes, organizing, cleaning, planting, entertaining, sweating and more. And griping. Oh yes, I was griping about it.Then it occurred to me that those clothes I'm washing -- they're ours. Mine and my family's. We own them. They don't belong to my employer or worse yet, my owner. They're unique clothes - chosen to fit and compliment someone in

There's going to be a small, furry funeral at our house tomorrow.Lucy/Houdini the Wanderer got out again (she has a history of that) and became a sad statistic. We'd searched and searched. When I opened the coat closet today I could smell her demise.Condolences may be left here, at the blog, and will be printed for the bereaved owner.

It contains some of the most beautiful, smooth music you will ever hear. I would consider it light jazz, and have enjoyed it since purchasing it on a whim in 1996. Having never really explored the nuances of jazz, this was a wonderful method by which I broadened my

Yes, I will admit it.I'm a bit of a political junkie. The only problem is, I can't find a decent fix. As you can see at right, I'm a conservative...but I just can't get excited about John McCain. I suppose he's a good man. I know he's a bona fide war hero, but there are just too many issues on which we differ. With other elections I've had at least a couple of points of agreement to which I could

I actually ended up with the challenge of doing not one but two papers this month.In addition, I had keepsake bookmarks to make for a lovely lady who was hosting a tea. They turned out quite well. (I'll share a tutorial later.) I didn't mind doing them at all, but it meant an all-nighter doing those - the day before

A "conversation" I'm having on a frugality forum, of all places:Me: That hits on a pet peeve of mine. We homeschool -- but are forced to pay school taxes! Teachers at public and private schools may deduct up to ~$500 on their taxes for supplies bought with personal money. But homeschoolers (and here is the kicker - who are legally considered private schools in my state) are SPECIFICALLY banned

I still cannot even discuss the Texas FLDS situation rationally.It's amazing. Like watching a terrible train wreck in slow motion.I'm no fan of polygamy, and I am an adult survivor of sexual abuse by a non-family member. I do not in any way condone the belief system in place. And I'm nothing more than a fellow sinner...yet saved by Grace.That said, the state of Texas is punishing the wrong people

Polygamy is wrong.Sexual abuse is wrong and an abomination. I speak as both a survivor and a relative of one.What is happening in Texas is wrong. What is happening has me so torn in knots that I am unable to even express myself properly. So I am linking to The Common Room . The Headmistriss over there has done a remarkable job putting my groanings to the Lord into words. These poor children are

Mrs. Wilt and Monica have both been discussing modesty, and I feel compelled to chime in. I'll be posting a couple of recent personal experiences soon, but until then feel free to chime in!You aren't the only one these days cringing when you see the new fashions.

I'm constantly amazed at how to "do" church right these days, there must be a jazzy kids' club complete with microphones, rockin' music and nightclub-esque decor.How there must be screens everywhere with song lyrics superimposed over streams or beaches so people can be more comfortable just looking up at the screen instead of fumbling for and using a hymnal.

I'm sorry. I've been battling a deep dark blue-funk. Depression. Not the most severe of cases, but enough that I just wanted to sleep. I won't go into the reasons, but the night sky was absolutely impenetrable. It was bad enough that my husband brought me flowers. For no reason.

Melted Crayons by Kimberly B. Southall"Oh, honey! I told you not to leave crayons in the car," I admonished our son. The box of 16 crayons had melted all over the interior of the plastic lap desk in the summer heat. The result was a brownish mass of wax.

I have a Sizzler. He spins, he twirls, he rolls on the floor with the dog. He does cartwheels while eating popsicles, he is a study in motion. He is a trial of my patience. He is the light of my life. Days like today, I turn to the stories section of Sizzle Bop and read...just to hang on. To gain some perspective, and to give us both time to just RELAX.That's why Sizzle Bop is at the top of my

So sorry for my prolonged absence. I noticed last Tuesday that the chili I'd fixed was not pleasing to my palatte. So I added some salt. Upon re-tasting, I still couldn't quite enjoy it without adding another dusting of the white stuff. And another.
