As I’m preparing for Awana tonight, I think about our theme….Fruits of the Spirit. What a great theme! It’s pulled straight from the Word of God and gives so many attributes for us to practice daily in our lives. As I thought about the passage in Galatians 5:22-23, I thought about how my view has… Continue reading FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT
I dug this post from my “draft archive”. Even though I wrote it over three years ago, it’s still true today. Life truly is about balance. In all the chaotic “express” we live in, find balance and slow down. I am such an impatient person. Really, I am always in a hurry no matter what… Continue reading Living An ‘Express’ Life
The past year has been very different for us. For a while our in-person church services were cancelled, and we watched worship service online. That went on for a few weeks and thank goodness we decided to resume gathering together. It was a hard time for some of us. Don’t misunderstand me, I loved sitting… Continue reading Sweet Sunday
Trying times we are in with being quarantined and practicing social distancing. This Corona Virus (COVID-19) has everyone in a tizzy for sure. I’m trying to stay put at home, but I sure do miss my family. There’s been lots of down time to work on home projects and such, but even that requires going… Continue reading Look For the Good
Why So Many Devices? IPods, cellphone, tablets, and more. What did we ever do without all the devices we have available today? I’m not sure how we survived. It is almost part of getting dressed in the morning, maybe more important. I mean, I may go out without my pants on but you can bet… Continue reading Put Down the Devices
Moving is one of my least favorite things, but you wouldn’t be able to tell it by the number of times I’ve done it in my life. I have moved a lot! This last move was a little different though and not as bad. We didn’t have nearly as much junk after downsizing so much… Continue reading Making It A Home, Making It Our Own
When Marty and I moved to this apartment, more than two years ago, we didn’t plan on it being permanent, but we did know that we no longer needed all the space of our previous home. Being in the apartment has been great, and it’s perfect for just us two. However, we have the grandkids… Continue reading Fixing It Up
‘Tis the Season This has been a sure season for colds and flu. The weather is so iffy, you can’t possibly know what to wear each day. Even the weathermen are confused. Like so many, I have not escaped the flu. As a matter of fact, I’ve had it twice already. Not a fun way to… Continue reading Home Remedies For Cold and Flu
Here we are, 2018 is already 5 days in. Happy New Year!! Time sure does go by quickly. Have you made resolutions for this new year? Better yet, are you keeping those resolutions? I didn’t make resolutions this year. I never keep them and then I just feel bad about myself, so why bother. The… Continue reading Prioritize
I love spending time with my family, doing the things we love or just simply hanging out. And of course we love to eat when we are together. Every year at Christmas time my kids have so many places to go for family celebrations. It makes the holidays stressful to say the least, especially when… Continue reading Christmas Traditions
