One of my favorite memories of childhood is chopping apples in my grandma’s kitchen surrounded by my mom and all my aunts who were also working on various aspects of a family dinner. It was a big kitchen, but it was always crowded because there were LOTS of us. My dad was one of 11 [...]
This is my first Wordless Wednesday post. I get the concept, but seriously; did you really think I would be totally wordless? - lol- Maybe I’ll start calling it Mostly Wordless Wedneday. I love these people and the only ones missing from this day were our daughter and son-in-law, who were just married [...]
Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, all the sinks and tubs drained properly — EXCEPT in the kitchen. Mmmhhhmmm…on Christmas Eve my kitchen sink seized up and dug in it’s heels like a two-year-old who hasn’t figured out, yet, he can’t win. It refused to drain. Nothing worked to settle the [...]
“Be still, and know that I am God…” Psalm 46:10 Be still. I WANT that. When was the moment I stopped taking the time for it? I can’t remember, but I know I need to start again and make it a regular part of my day. I want to say that I can blame it [...]
To a lot of you who know me and love me, and even more so for some of those of you who don’t, it makes absolutely no sense that I would aspire to attend a bloggers conference. See, I lost some of you, right there. – lol But, Relevant isn’t just another blogger’s conference. The [...]

In my own power and on my own steam, I can’t accomplish anything worthwhile for very long. The power of Christ in a [...]
The wrapping is nearly done, at least for what I have finished. I still have a handful of items I am sewing or crafting, etc. I’m a “work better under pressure” kind of girl. lol David gave me a Cricut Expressions for Christmas AND he let me have it right now. Is that the [...]
Psalm 100 A Psalm of Thanksgiving. Make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands! Serve the Lord with gladness; Come before His presence with singing. Know that the Lord, He is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. [...]
In today’s economy, stay-at-home moms are an even greater novelty than ever before in America’s history. It can be difficult to balance a passionate belief that I’m called to be exactly where I am, at home, with the economic reality that I need to find some creative way to supplement our income. It’s important to [...]
Unlike E.F. Hutton, God doesn’t inspire that world-stopping awe from most of the earth’s citizens anymore. We are so wrapped up in going and doing and being and deciding and moving and shaking…well, you get my drift, we don’t even remember HOW to hear Him. When we try, we are often listening in the wrong [...]
