It’s been a week or three of remembering to breath; autumn is in the air, temps are falling, humidity is falling, leaves are starting to turn. Yep, autumn is on the way, although, to be sure, there are still plenty of days with heat left to enjoy. The garden isn’t
In February of 2011, Lydia at Crown of Beauty is a stone collector. Not like the stone collectors in the university geology department – but a Joshua-like stone collector. “My stones are personal ones, reminders of certain special events in my life of faith. Somehow these stones remind me of
“Nature is the living, visible garment of God.” ~Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe It’s easy to see God’s handiwork in a juicy peach or the mesmerizing glow of a setting sun. I can easily meditate on His goodness while savoring farm-fresh veggies straight from the Farmer’s Market or when
Saving Your Relationship takes the commitment of both of you Saving your relationship seems to be the number one reason why most couples enter counseling, looking for some magic bullet to fix their problems. As they talk about their goals, it becomes evident that one usually thinks that the burden
“You will keep Him in perfect peace whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you.” ~ Isaiah 26-3 ~ “The mind never puts forth greater power over itself than when, in great trials, it yields up calmly its desires, affections, interests to God. There are seasons when to be
Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain… Psalm 127:1a (ESV) This past week we celebrated our 38th anniversary. How did that happen??? Where did all of those years go? Well, it was lived one day at a time and that is how we made
Note: The Robin Hood part was written in early July during my surgery convalescence when I had the opportunity to watch movies, i.e. Robin Hood – all versions, but especially my favorite. I kept wondering what God wanted me to do with it and today He let me know. This
“If they don’t let us in, you’ll talk to them, won’t you mom?” My son asked. “Like you did before.” This was summer; we’d just moved back “home” after our 2 year journey some-other-place. During our tenure away, the school board had redistricted so that many families who lived 2
I’m still under the weather due to these antibiotics. Well, to be honest… I am miserable. But that usually means they are working to rid the body of the dreaded infections. My long time friend, Sheila, brought veggie lasagna and soup (and chocolate chip cookies) over for our dinner yesterday.
“God is not man that he should lie, or a son of man that he should change his mind. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it? ~ Numbers 23:19 ~ Through the pitch-black night, the Captain sees a
“The man who says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him.“ 1 John 2:4 Are you a liar? Hmmm….. Do you claim to know Christ, but yet you fail to do what He tells us to do?
This is the first post in a series on the relationship between mother-in-laws and their daughter-in-laws as shown through the bible. While some stopping by might not have the MIL/DIL relationship as described biblically, I encourage you in faith to claim these relationships as God describes and one reach at
By Deborah McCarragher – Godly provision often comes in unique ways, from odd sources and always at just the right time. Are you yearning for something from God just now? Perhaps you’re waiting for an answer to prayer… a job, a marriage, a prodigal? You might be hoping for a
Hearing the word relationship, most of us think family, loved one, friend. And if we have healthy relationships with those folks, we get a warm fuzzy feeling. We know there is warmth and support behind us as we make our way in the world. But another important word about relationships
Many months ago my husband Jack and I announced: “It’s time for a Family Reunion!” It makes we wonder if some of our children secretly shuddered when they heard that we wanted everyone to come home for 3 days of blended bliss. Let’s be realistic, it’s not always easy blending
A few days ago I asked God to talk to me – he immediately gave me a picture of someone carrying a cross and the verse “And anyone who does not carry his cross and follow Me cannot be My disciple” Luke 14:27. So I sketched down the picture and
As I drink my morning coffee, I chuckle as I recall my teen years. How many remember the fad in the 60’s of putting Vaseline on your eyelashes? We thought it would condition the lashes and make them shine! So of course I felt I had better try it. To
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking, as He did, this sinful

By Nancie Carmichael – Lately I’ve been captivated by the lives and writings of the early saints. Three of them, especially, are speaking to me. I say “speaking to me” in that I am reading their writings, their biographies and I’m surprised as well as reassured to see that their
