The Bible tells us that we should trust in God to supply our needs. That is sometimes easy to say, but hard to do. After hearing my pastor preach on the ministry of angels this Sunday, I wonder whether I was blessed by one of God’s angels or by someone being obedient to Him. Either way, God made […]
Simple Suppers for the Holidays
Over the Thanksgiving weekend I surveyed the December calendar. Seeing that there was not but just a bit of white space here and there on each calendar date helped me decide. Time for simple suppers.

Talents
Me? I’d be knock-kneed. No. I wouldn’t be able to stand up there in front of them all. Never would I have even considered memorizing lines. My voice magnified. But she does. And loves it. A bit nervous tonight but smiling. I think I juggle things. This one. She handled a main part at church […]

Meal Plan: Simple Suppers
So I surveyed the December calendar. May I just say It’s a Wonderful Life? The next two weeks are jammed packed with the ‘hurry up we need to be there in half an hour’ days and evenings. Hardly a bit of white remains in each calendar square. So, for this meal plan I am keeping […]
