I was watching Life Today with Betty and James Robison this morning and one of my favorite new Christian artists was being interviewed- Mandisa. I watched her when she was on American Idol, I follow her on Twitter and I love her beautiful voice and authentic heart for Jesus. She sang her new song, My…

Reflections
I “stole” (with permission) this idea from my friend, Jill at Forever ‘n Ever ‘n Always. I love the idea of sharing what God has on my heart with you at the start of the week. God hears our prayers. That may not be earth shattering news to you but sometimes we need reminded…

Friends are a finer thing!

Immediately when I think of resenting our spouse (which I have certainly struggled with as recently as yesterday) you know who comes to my mind? That daggone Proverbs 31 woman, the woman whom I aspire to be. In verse 25…
Love me some wings
A busy multi-tasking mama has to make the occasional stop for fast food. You know those days, right? Straight from picking one kid up at chess club, to dropping the other off at basketball practice and running the other one to cub scouts. When are you supposed to eat? Well, I have found what I…
Lessons learned from an overflowing toilet…
If you follow me on Twitter or Facebook, you know that my hubby has been working LOTS of overtime lately. We miss him but the boys and I have been finding plenty to do to keep us busy. We have gotten back to school hair cuts, walked the doggies and kept the house spic and span….
