One of my Facebook friends posted this earlier today and it’s just too good to pass up. Sorry but I don’t know the original source. “After every flight, QANTAS pilots fill out a form, known as a ‘gripe sheet’ to tell mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics fix the problem, and then document […]
Most people hear the words “Healthy” and “Family” and automatically think organic weirdos who spend too much time and too much money on too many changes. Going to be honest here: I use to be one of those thinkers! And even though I don’t have a family myself yet, I’ve realized having a healthy home […]
One of the most loved things about the summertime in Texas is a thing known only as AC! Then again, growing up in Houston, I distinctly remember mom shoving us outside to roam around the cul-de-sac and jump through what seemed to be a big sprinkler (and later was discovered to be average and not big […]
Everyone thinks that they’re a “safe driver” and it’s the people around them that can’t drive. The reality is that we ALL (yes, including you), can work on our driving skills just a little bit, or at least make certain adjustments that should have been made earlier. This time of the year is probably […]
You and I are human, bound to make mistakes probably every day of our lives! Part of the problem is that we just don’t know certain things, or aren’t “well-informed.” One such problem occurs when tipping…anywhere. Most think the standard 15% is what a tip should be, but that’s only at a restaurant, and […]
Usually, you and I would be in the same boat of not enjoying the “sport” of running. I’ve caught myself saying constantly in the past, “The only time you’d find me running is if someone is chasing me to hurt me.” Surprisingly, situational depression will make you think twice about how you feel on jogging […]
I love my dad! No matter what goes on in my life, he almost always had the right word (or Bible verse) to say. He has shown me how a woman should be treated, and has been a devoted and loving husband to my lovely mom for the past 28 years. This Father’s Day, you […]
Thank you for being the feet and hands of Jesus! Over 6700 socks & undies will be going to orphans all world through Orphan Outreach. A group of staff and listeners traveled to Xela, Guatemala in June to work with an orphanage called “Little House of Refuge” to deliver the socks & undies that YOU […]
Too many nights staying up late can get you into a lot of trouble financially. You’re dozing off, watching a late-night episode of “Mama’s House,” and the new gadget comes on TV that you HAVE TO HAVE!! 4 “easy” payments later, and the gizmo is already broken and busted, taking you in a scam once […]
We all know that pizza and yummy snack foods can make you feel happy…for a few minutes or so. But the reality is that over time, those things won’t make you feel any sorts of happy if you eat too much of it. So here are a few foods that can actually put you in […]
Oh the summer time! For single people and couples without kids, it can be just regular working days with the additional trips to the pool. But for parents, it seems like work is double-time…with no pool fun! Whether it’s summer sports they’re involved with, to days where they keep on repeating, “I’m borrrrrred……,” it […]
I will always remember my well-meaning uncle getting my baby brother a present for his 3rd birthday that wasn’t as much sweet as was terrifying: a clown doll that cackled. That’s right, right up there with Mr. Jack-in-the-Box and a puppet with dead eyes was this pull-string doll, which I felt would give me nightmares […]
As a supportive parent, aunt, grandparent, guardian, etc., you’d love your soon-to-be college student following whatever degree that will make them happy. But the reality is that some majors just don’t pan out well when the job-world comes knocking. Trust me, it was a little bit of a shocker to myself to switch from being […]
When it comes to shopping for a bargain, I will be the first person who stands-up proudly for the concept (the hubby being right there next to me)! Yes, half of the stuff (or more) in our 2 bedroom apartment was either passed down, a garage sale find, or Craigslist […]
We don’t have live TV at the house, so explaining this morning to the hubby why I was back in our bed and not working at PraiseShare was new news to him! His exact response to what happened in Oklahoma: “Are you serious?” A few hours later, when it sunk in that the severe weather […]
I’d like to brag on my wife for just a moment: We announced this morning that we had decided to postpone our PraiseShare fundraiser for a day out of respect for those who lost loved ones in Oklahoma on Monday. A lot of our volunteers – who had already planned to be here to answer […]
No matter how excited kids get about the idea of summer break, about a week into it they already are saying the dreadful 2-word sentence: “I’m bored.” It’s not easy to get away from this phrase coming out of their lips, but you can try to stop it in it’s tracks through these activities. And […]
Mercy Ships doctors on board the “Africa Mercy” are helping women suffering from complications during childbirth. May 23rd has been designated INTERNATIONAL DAY TO END OBSTETRIC FISTULA. Women becoming incontinent due to obstructed labor and delivery is a common occurrence in developing nations. It’s fatal for the child and the mother suffers great physical and […]
I don’t know her, I’ve never met her, and I don’t even think I’ve ever met the kid accusing her on Facebook. But tonight I witnessed first hand how quickly a favorite media outlet of mine turned into a tool of hurt.
Technology can be cool, but it can also be pretty pricey! Being a fan of electronics AND a great deal, it’s always good news to know I can save money big time on some of the usual purchases families make at least a few times in a lifetime, including the TV. When trying to save […]
Mistakes are bound to happen in our lives, sometimes at the most random of times. But making a mistake in Networking and possibly landing that much-needed job can be a mistake you don’t ever want to fall guilty of! But don’t worry, here are a few heads-up on how to avoid all awkwardness in the […]
