It’s been about a year now since I realized how much I love fiddle leaf trees. One day I was sitting there watching a home decor show, and there it was–the most incredible plant I’ve ever laid eyes on, sitting in a corner of the room. Fiddle leafs...

Click to watch & turn volume up To say that the kids love my homemade chicken noodle soup is a bit of an understatement, but I have to say that no one loves it more than our granddaughter Julia. In fact, a spoon isn’t fast enough for that little girl. At...

Our youngest grandchild is growing fast. Born on New Years Day 2021, makes him 7 months old–almost 8. Old enough to roll, old enough to let us know when he wants something, but not quite old enough to put his feelings into words. Some days I know. I know he...

I’ve been a laundry fanatic this month. I’m not sure what’s gotten into me, but I can’t seem to get enough of that fresh line-dried smell. I’ve washed two sets of sheets, 10 little dresses, an adorable sweater, and a ton of my clothes in...

I heard something in church one day that served as a gentle reminder to abide in the vine. “I was seeking after the fruit of the Spirit,” she said, “when I realized that seeking God was all that I needed to do.” How many times do I need to be reminded of that before...

I open my Bible to Joshua 4, where I see 12 men who have just crossed over the Jordan River, hauling stones, and I get to wondering what that’s all about. I’m reminded of a little obsession I had few years back, when I started collecting big rocks. My kids...

Reading Luke Chapter 6, I come to verse 20. And just like the multitude that pressed close to see and to hear, I open my ears to God’s Word. And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God. Blessed are ye...

As I got to reading Luke Chapter 1, I couldn’t help but stop at verse 13. But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John. (Luke 1:13, KJV) “Thy...

I’m back! It feels like I’ve been gone forever, but I think it’s been five weeks. During this time, I’ve come awfully close to finishing the Bible study, and I will have details on that one soon! This time away has helped me to get my ducks in...
