Jesse Tree: Elijah Ornament

My church has been participating in the Jesse Tree tradition this year. The idea of the Jesse Tree is to help people (especially children) see the faithfulness of God, and how the Christmas Story is not the beginning of God’s story for us, but the beginning of the fulfillment of His promises

It’s officially December and the Christmas Season has begun. I thought I’d share one of my favorite artists and be one of the first to wish you a Merry Christmas!  

Baa Baaa Sheep

What do you know about sheep?  Did you know that there are more than 1000 distinct sheep breeds worldwide?  Did you know that sheep are classified according to their primary purpose, the type of wool they grow, the color of their faces and more!  Who knew?  I’ve always thought they

God: Clothes Designer

I need to confess.  I love clothes.  It’s almost like I’m a hoarder I have so many.  Now, I’m sure, there are those out there in the world who have more clothes than me.  I’m not saying I’m a world record holder or anything, but the truth still remains: I

Fears and Moving Forward

I just need to put it out there.  I’m scared of spiders.  They are creepy crawly things that, for some bizarre reason, I’m afraid will attack me, and I will lose.  It makes no difference that I’m exceedingly larger than them.  It makes no difference that I can think and

Tacos with a side of Peace

At the request of my son, we made homemade salsa last night to have with our tacos. I made my typical homemade guacamole and also created a black bean, corn(fresh off the cob)and mango salad. Let’s just say the kitchen looked “well-used.”  I’m not telling you all this to pat myself

 Earlier today I was “stretching my brain.” by clicking the button way too many times at Stumbleupon.com.  Okay, I admit it, all rationalizing aside, I was wasting time.    Anyway…. I came across this video that said “A Single Year in 40 seconds.”  I was curious.  I watched.  I watched again!  I
