So, life is always full of surprises….I had given up on going to BlogHer months ago when they sold out faster than tickets to a Kenny Chesney concert. I left it in God’s hands. Last week I got a ticket. Woo hoo! I am going to Chicago- going to Chicago. Sorry, I digress! (the excitement…

Finer Things Friday- Family Time

Thankful Thursday-Rewards
The Bible remind us in Luke 12:34 “that where your treasure is, there your heart will be also”. So often in our society we feel like we are entitled to rewards- the big house, the new car, the chic shoes. I have been as guilty of this as anyone else. Guilty of forgetting that my…
Summer Vacations-mine and yours?
We are back from vacation! As is typical when you have kids, the boys had a much more relaxing and enjoyable time than I.

What if?
What if….I woke up in the morning looking for ways to serve, rather than be served? What if….I woke up and rather than looking at the calendar, asked “what’s on the agenda today, Lord? What if….I was always on the watch for ways to be a friend to people I do not yet know? What…
Thankful Thursday- True Beauty
Today’s Thankful Thursday theme is beauty. My favorite verse on beauty is in I Peter 3:3-4 which says Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle…
Wifey Wednesday- Kids and dads
Oh, so good to be back for Wifey Wednesdays, hosted by Sheila at To Love, Honor and Vacuum. Today’s topic is about getting your husband involved with child rearing. It pains my heart to know that many women have difficulty getting their husbands to actively participate in their kid’s lives. I think we have…
Where or where has she been?
So, I made the move to WordPress. (My move was courtesy of Jessica at SuperNovaWebs. Didn’t she do an awesome job?) And, I took advantage of the process to catch up on all the busy-ness going on in my life right now. But, I have MISSED you guys! This is my place to vent, joke, laugh, share my…
