Start Your Flooded Engine
My husband gave my daughter a lesson recently in starting the weed eater after it flooded. Apparently, when you flood the engine, there’s too much gas in the carburetor and it messes up the fuel/air mixture – so it won’t start. The remedy is to let it sit and drain for a bit. Makes sense. […]
Shopping Tip that Could Save
You’ve been pulling your hair out after every grocery shopping trip. Not because you don’t enjoy grabbing the groceries. It’s mainly because the bill is almost NEVER in your budget, which means trying to figure out what needs to be cut-back from the rest of the month. I’ve felt this at times…until I changed a […]
You are Beautiful!
Did you take a wrong turn in life that took you far from God? Have your mistakes – even if they are momentary lapses in your Christian walk – made you feel ugly and unlovable to God? Well, don’t believe that lie! A. W. Tozer said: “We please [God] most…by throwing ourselves into His arms […]
Letting them Soar!

Adventures Without a Cell Phone
It’s kind-of like camping without a sleeping bag. Since Sunday, I’ve been without my cell phone (I know, right now you’re probably going through an anxiety attack for me).

Trust in God’s Plan
When you’re not sure about where God is taking you, remember to trust His plan for your life! Jeremiah 29:11 is highlighted, triple underlined and the page is dog-eared and well-worn in my Bible! How about you? My work world was turned upside down in July 2013 when I was laid off from my job. […]
Remembering 9/11/01
People across our country today remembering once again where they were and the terrible images they saw, and the people they lost on this day 13 years ago. For me, the day takes on even more significance as I remember my son telling me how his 5th grade teacher explained to his class what was […]
Teaching Kids Self-Discipline
As a mom with three kids, now grown and on their own, I’ve had to do a lot of nagging and reminding and fussing at my kids over the years for them to do what they needed to do…chores, homework, practice, college essays, getting up on time… For some reason, one word from Dad was […]
The Giver
Did you catch the movie The Giver over Labor Day weekend? It’s based on the beloved book. Well, then 50 cents of your ticket price went to the Ticket to a Better World initiative. They’re trying to raise a quarter of a million dollars to buy books for kids in need. It’s a partnership between […]
