Okay, so if you missed any of my birthday-week fun, this is the best way to explain it: Yep, it’s been full of deliciousness…and not one penny really was spent! Where did all this foodie-fun come from one may ask? Well, I can tell you a little time can make a world of difference in […]
With time, a picture, a book, and a song can be worked on, shifted, shaped, and turned into something absolutely gorgeous. But while most people see the fantastic end result, what was missed and only known to the artist, the author, the musician was the hours of frustration…the re-writes…the restlessness…the moments where they just wanted […]
Over the past, nearly 50 years, I’ve heard the story of Jesus presented many different ways. Some were very clear, to me, at least. Others were somewhat confusing. In the past, I would have criticized those Gospel presentations that I found confusing or that didn’t live up to my definition of what was “appropriately reverent.” […]
You can cook a mean pot-pie. Knitting a new scarf is a breeze. And when someone asks for a hand in taking care of their little ones, you can entertain the kiddos with ease. But when the words “Clean” and “Home” come together, panic and a little fear like to settle within your stomach. It’s […]
When did ANYONE ever just go back into a healthy lifestyle regiment and NOT struggle? Almost no one, even the health-gurus who had to take a break because of health or life-craziness reasons. So, to say that it’s easy to get back to smart choices in diet and exercise would probably make me a liar […]
You thought your day couldn’t get any better after learning the project at work, well, worked, and the your brother’s wife is having another little one. And as you walk through the door, there sits the prettiest orchid you’ve ever seen, placed perfectly in the middle of the kitchen table. He’s surprised you once again, […]
With beautiful weather we’re getting hit with these autumn days, it make encourage you to get out and explore the trails and paths around you. I know the hubby and I did just that, taking in some hiking within Faulkner Parks bike trails, making taking a turn off the path to find a […]
You’ve had a moment or 2 of being “scarred” as a child, and still to this day you get the shivers when thinking about the moment. For me, it HAD to be the pull-string clown my uncle and aunt thought my brother and I would love! They were as wrong as trying to make a […]
“Look around you, at the people you love. Is what you’re doing within your marriage working for you and everyone around you?” It’s a response to my “advice for marriage” question that I had no clue I would get from author, speaker, and funny guy Bob Goff. But it IS a response that is as […]
Opening your bank account to check your latest balance, you realize something is waaaay off. Not just a few dollars are missing, but a few HUNDRED are no where to be found. Sadly, you’ve been the victim of debit card scamming, and your identity may be in the balance as well. Making sure this doesn’t […]
A fun day at Sunday School means probably another piece of artwork your little one can’t, and won’t part with. Without even looking at the fridge, you know there’s no room left and some magnets are even holding 2 or 3 papers up at a time! Even without children, the kids I helped babysit and take […]
You know how to handle your kitchen! You’ve been washing dishes and helping with cooking since you were 8, and no one can tell you you’re doing things wrong. And even with all of your knowledge, passed-down from generations and oddball family members…you’re still missing something. Have no fear, because blogger Jeanne Sager wants to […]
After some AMAZING weeks of God showing-up through you during PraiseShare, we’re back to regular scheduled programming! And hopefully you’re ready to dive back into what I’m calling The Marriage Series. Read the kick-off topic with JJ Heller HERE. 2 Little Words Everyone knows what the 3 Little Words are in any relationship that can […]
Health has become HUGE here in the US, maybe because we we aren’t the healthiest individuals when we choose a cheeseburger the size of our heads instead of a salad now and then. And yes, this includes me too many times, heading back to the gym about twice or 3 times a week, after eating […]
It’s an anniversary, a birthday, or “just because,” and a loved one sent you the most beautiful bouquet of flowers you’ve ever seen!! They start out like this…
Everybody told me I’d like being a grandpa. They were WRONG!
Even though I would love to believe there are some truly wonderful people in this world (which there are), I also am very aware that there are some pretty bad nut-jobs roaming around, needing counseling, prayer and maybe some jail time. They come in all forms and can display their trouble-side to anyone at anytime.
Let’s get one thing straight….Cellphones are a pretty sweet invention! Yes, pagers we’re pretty nifty and certainly helped relay an urgent need to call someone, but the cellphone takes the gold in communication. But no matter how great an invention is, there’s always a drawback in the form of someone ruining it for everyone […]
Recently, I had a chance to talk to some musicians and speakers, getting to know a little bit about who they are and what they feel is to come in their lives. Throughout the talks, a big question decided to pop-up that my newlywed mind wanted to know: “What would you tell someone who’s in […]
Diapers: they stink, in more ways then one for sure. Yes, they are the basic necessity of taking care of and raising any child, but you can spend a pretty penny on these things you toss out about 5 times a day (or MORE). There is a little hope at the end of the diaper pile getting […]
