I've been making a pot of soup weekly. Here is the recipe I made this past week. I'll also include the cabbage soup diet recipe I made the week before. Soup is a great way to use up veggies. Hearty Vegetable Soup 2 tab…
I love new beginnings! The New Year is a perfect opportunity to evaluate the past year and make goals for the upcoming one. Proverbs says that man makes his plans but the Lord directs his steps. Our plans should always b…
A Big Surprise for Christmas!

We had an unexpected Christmas present this year! Our new dog, BB, gave birth to a litter of puppies. She was a stray that a neighbor had taken in to try and find a home for. She was headed for the pound so we adopted h…
Merry Christmas to all! We're heading to church in just a bit. My son and his family came over for cinnamon rolls and we're all getting ready for church. It will be wonderful to have some of my family in church today. Th…
Grandbabies and Gingerbread Houses

It was a full house today at Grammy's! I had 4 of my grandchildren along with 2 neighbor children from our old neighborhood and my niece. What a fun day! The older girls really went to town on creating extravagant doma…
Changing Habits

I was reading an article this evening on saving money. There was a long list of questions that were designed to help change a bad habit. A light bulb went on when I read this! (Okay, my light bulbs are more like 'flicker…
Christmas Dinner

What are you ladies making for Christmas dinner? I'm looking for something different to make for our vegetable dish. Does anyone make anything different than green bean casserole or broccoli casserole? I'm thinking abou…
Are we Strangers in this World?

I've been thinking about the exhortation in 1 Peter 2 this week... "Dear friends, I urge you, as ALIENS and STRANGERS in this world.." Peter refers to us as ALIENS and STRANGERS. I've been wondering how an Americanize…
One thing that I wish I had done more with my children is play games. Our family was not a 'board playing' family. I didn't come from a game playing family so it wasn't something I was used to doing, either. I can see…
I had a plan. I tried to follow that plan. But, I didn't follow the plan afterall! I had posted a few days ago that I wasn't going to make goody plates this year because of some health issues and the need to stay away fr…
I received this letter today and wanted to pass it onto anyone who will read it . Gospel for Asia is one of the few ministries that sends 100% of their donations straight to the mission field.…
I may be fooling myself but I think I'm on top of the holiday 'doings'. I finished up my Christmas shopping this week. I've sent out my Christmas cards. The family recipes books came back from the printer yesterday. I re…
Christmas doings!

Well, my 'Memory Tree' is up as of last night. I like that name! I was thinking as I went through all the ornaments of the memories attached to each one and thought that would be a great name for my tree! Today I hope to…
Redeem the time!

Christmas is such a perfect time to share the Gospel with unsaved family and friends. What other time during the year can a Christian openly share Christ within the context of a holiday except for the possibility of East…
Simplifying Christmas!

If I had to choose a subtitle for my life I think it would be EXAMINE. It has become a constant theme in my life. I have tried to make it a regular habit to evaluate much of what I do and compare it to Scripture. There a…
Keeping a Quite Heart in December!

Well, it's officially begun! The December crazies are upon us! Women running from store to store trying to beat the holiday rush to find the perfect gift, marathon baking stints, box after box of wrappings and decoration…
