We have recently had many blogs whose titles start with the letter “c.” I thought about writing about chili. I made a pot to simmer all day because we have a cold front here. And it is delicious! Oh, I need to get back on topic… We live in a world that constantly changes. The [...]

These one-word titles that begin with the letter “C” seem to be popular lately:  “Connection,” “Compassion,” and now “Commitment.”  Funny, huh? Well, since I made my commitment to all of you last week to work on my attitude, I wanted to let you know how I was doing.  And as much as I would love to [...]

Marissa is on a leave of abscence today and so we are posting a previously posted blog.  Enjoy! I’ve pretty much always loved baseball, as well as most sports, and country music. Until recently, no one really knew of my love for these things. Somehow, when I was a kid I got this funny idea [...]

Pauline is our guest blogger today. She is the mother of 4, grandmother of 15, great-grandmother of 9. She is known for generosity—and her biscuits—and she is a true southern girl who cooks for those she loves. Pauline shares an experience with her great-grandson from a few years ago.

A sweet, almost 5-year-old in my life, is growing out her bangs. She hates rubber bands, ponytails, braids, or barrettes, so her hair hangs in her face much of the day. One day recently, though, while brushing her hair before school, I slid two purple barrettes on either side of her face. I loved looking [...]

We have a friend who said that our family is experiencing the hardest time in our lives.

Still things [...]

The weather changes.  People change.  Even Facebook changes (pretty often, actually, much to the complaint of many of my friends). We change the laundry.  We change the TV channel.  We change our hair cut, color, and style. Those things on the first list are things we have no control over (like, I seriously doubt that [...]

Well dearest fans who read my blogs faithfully it has come to that one magical time of the week where you will hear once again the words which I have to say to you. Perhaps you recognize this title from a song that came out in a hit movie about a year ago. This movie [...]

Stephanie, our guest blogger today, is always ready to share her kind thoughts with those around her. She is a devoted mother and woman of great faith. She recently took up working with stained glass, and her quiet kindnesses speak volumes of her character. Enjoy! It is the little things in life that help us [...]

Women’s health issues are often at the forefront of my mind. I feel fairly self-educated through my own study, through personal experience, and through hearing first-hand experiences of women in my life. As a mother, I have learned more and am fairly well-versed in topics such as prenatal care, breastfeeding, birth control, and baby wearing. [...]
