Walking Together in Wisdom
Have you ever tried to tame a cowlick? I haven’t either. I’ve thought about it, but have never actually done it. Cowlicks are not easy to deal with! I was born with one right in the middle of my bangs. (Does it age me that I don’t say ‘fringe’?) And let me tell you, it... Continue Reading →
I grew up in a house where my parents really loved the shows of their childhoods, so we grew up watching them, too. I'm talking Beverly Hillbillies, Andy Griffith, Petticoat Junction, Bewitched, Leave it to Beaver... Which brings me to today's thoughts. Do you remember Eddie Haskell? The kid who was 'friends' with Wally, but... Continue Reading →
When you've sinned against the Lord, with what you consider a "big" sin, or you've been away from Him for a long time, do you feel like you have to make up for it in a big way? Like God is going to ask something really hard from you as payment for it? That's sometimes... Continue Reading →
Simple Truths I’ve Learned From Jonah chapter 1 1. V2- The Lord is merciful to people who are in sin, and will send someone to warn them. I’m so thankful someone came and warned me! 2.

Bonsai trees are interesting plants. They require regular care and pruning to stay their diminutive size. I always thought they were tiny varieties of trees, but they are actually normal trees carefully pruned to stay small. One thing I learned in reading about them is that every two to three years they need to be... Continue Reading →
Have you ever been disappointed that you left laundry in the washer too long, and now they smell and have to be re-washed? If you're in a first world country, maybe think about this and be thankful: 1. You don't even have to worry you might not have enough water to do them over again.... Continue Reading →
A friend posted the other day about a competition at AWANA where the kids had to wear as many layers as they could. Some really funny pictures of kids barely able to move were posted. I remember those kinds of contests! Do you remember (those of you who experienced real snow as a child) having... Continue Reading →
'I love Jesus but I cuss a little' T-shirts with cute fonts that are to, what? Let others know we're human too? Make them look at it and think 'Girl, me too. I get it.'? What if the shirt said:-I love Jesus but I steal a little-I love Jesus but I can't control my temper-I... Continue Reading →
