What I’m Reading: Chasing God, I Will Carry You, Kisses From Katie, & Say Goodbye to Survival Mode
Apparently, my desire to read comes in waves. I go from reading three or four books at a time, to not reading at all (or reading a couple of pages of one book once a week or so), then back to reading multiple books at once. I’m in an upswing right now and currently reading…
Kawasaki Disease and Answered Prayers
My oldest son is Joshua.. that’s him up top with me a few months ago … and this week he had to have oral surgery (a skin graft inside his mouth) which resulted in the inside of his lip being sewn with stitches to his gums beneath his front teach. Yeah… ouch. And weird. He’s…
I don’t have the patience to homeschool.

She was desperate for God. Desperate for help. Desperate to change her life, her behavior, her circumstances. She was crying and pleading for…
Homemade Dishwasher Detergent
Last year sometime I read an article about chemicals in our homes and how children get accidentally poisoned. One of number one “poisons” was automatic dishwasher detergent. Considering that I run my dishwasher two to three times per day (with all the cakes I’m baking) and some dishwasher detergents are looking a lot like candy…
My MawMaw…. Mary Ella Hawley
March 27, 2011 My MawMaw went home to be with Jesus last night. I haven’t slept and the tears don’t seem to end. She was so precious – and I loved her so much. I’m heartbroken, yet I smile through the tears as I remember… She made beautiful blankets, hand-stitched. I sleep under the one…
