By Sylvia Henderson – “Is it okay that I still feel upset even though that event is in the past, no longer present in my life? After all this time, I shouldn’t still be feeling this pain should I? How do I know when it is time to move on,
By Heidi Mclaughlin – What were those strange, muffled sounds coming from behind my parent’s bedroom door? With my socked feet, I quietly tip-toed past my parent’s bedroom, hoping that no once heard me. Once again, I was sneaking into the house late at night and breaking my curfew. I
Eric and Vickie are in love. They came to their first pre-marital counseling session. I asked them why they wanted to get married. Vickie said that Eric finished her thoughts. I wondered how she would feel five years into the marriage when he stopped talking. She also said that he

As I fill containers with paper, cardboard, foam, plastic, glass, and metal scraps, I marvel at the thought that I can, in a small but important way, be helping to save our endangered environment. The hairs on my head stand up like Brillo when I see people throwing trash on
By Kimberly Rae – For Becky McDonald, president and founder of Women At Risk International, the passion to rescue oppressed and broken women began when she was a fourteen-year-old MK (missionary kid) in Bangladesh, when a young woman named Neehru was “dumped at my feet.” Some men in Neehru’s family
“Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads.” ~ Henry David Thoreau ~ Under my feet, my piece of heaven has thistles galore and I spend a lot of time chopping those thistles. I’ve been told thistles are a bi-annual crop…and I use the word “crop” loosely…and need
In the previous post on The Mother-In-Law Chronicles, we discussed how the bride and groom each left their family – she legally, he spiritually because he was integral to his family congruity due to inheritance laws. The purpose of The Mother-in-Law Chronicles is to promote awareness of biblical honoring of
My cup and my heart overflow with thanksgiving today for more reasons than I have time or space to share. But I thought I’d cite my Top Ten on this Thursday morning as a way to thank God publicly for His abundant blessings. Thank you, Lord, for … 1. Leading
I left us last week with society falling apart and the need to find refuge in chaos. I’m glad I had another week to ponder it all… even if the pondering was done eating crackers and nibbling candied ginger. Those were some powerful antibiotics. The extra time helped me ponder
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

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.
