Lost

“In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should be lost.”  Matthew 18:14 NIV     We grabbed a cart near the front entrance and entered the bowels of Costco.  It was a treat to have my husband along since it was a last minute decision […]

Cankles and Oak Trees

I have been cursed with cankles.   I quickly learned of this term ages ago when I couldn’t find my ankles to save my soul.  I looked high and low, but there wasn’t an anklebone to be found.  My long legs go straight from my knees to my toes with no definition in between.  Hence […]

Choices

      “Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses.  Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make.  Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live!” Deuteronomy 30:19  NIV (emphasis, mine)   Oh Lord, come close […]

Touch Ups

“But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.” Isaiah 40:31   Ihate to waste anything.  You can call me frugal (ok…cheap).  I’m very much into repurposing and reusing everyday products as much as possible.  I think it comes from valuing every hard-earned penny I’ve ever made.  And now that the family income […]

Love Is In The Air

“…and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.” 1Corinthians 13:2     Love.  It’s all the rage for this week.  The 14th is quickly approaching—Valentine’s—a day that makes men cringe and women cranky.  Men can’t get it right and women feel disappointed.   Whether you’re in […]

Identity Theft

“Do not love the world or anything in the world.  If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.”  1John 2:15 Have you heard the ads for companies that help you guard against Identity Theft?  I have.  Of course, they made me think about something.   In my past, I […]
