Lemonade’s A Good Thing…

…and I LIKE it! _____________________________________ I got an email from my brother Johnny today, entitled, “When Life Gives You Lemonade…Dedicated To All Pet-Lovers.” Of course, since I love dogs, lemonade, and all things inspirational, I thought I must share. Below is part of the message I received: _____________________________________ This is ‘Faith’ This dog was born [...]

Easter’s On Its Way

Ya know, Easter Sunday is a week from today! The meaning of Easter is so exciting to me…so much more than just dyed eggs, bunnies, and Easter baskets. However, I absolutely LOVE the following cartoon about a very special Easter basket: ____________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ **Now, that’s the kind of Easter basket I can count on…one that [...]

(*Update*)An 8 Yr. Old’s Explanation…

…of God ______________________________ A friend sent me the following: ______________________________ The short essay below was written by an 8-year-old from Chula Vista, California. He wrote it for his third grade homework assignment, to “explain God.” I wonder if any of us could have done as well? ______________________________ EXPLANATION OF GOD: One of God’s main jobs [...]

Walk On Faith

The past several days, “Walk On Faith” has been my theme song. I’ve been playing it over and over…on my computer and in my mind. Every time I start to get a little discouraged, I say a prayer, and I recite a line or two of this song (along with Bible verses). I especially love [...]

That girl…

One Day At A Time

I have many posts “in the works,” but this one describes where I am at today, and it’s really not a bad place to be.  The message God has laid on my heart for today, of course, relates to a song.  (Many of you know how I am about my songs!)  Anyway, as I’ve already [...]

Why, Oh Why, Would You Do That?!

Well, o.k., this post (or series of posts) has been on my mind for a while, so here goes! There’s a question asked of many a homeschooling mom, and that is: “Why would you home-school?” The implication or follow-up question is often, “Why would anyone home-school?” Other related questions are: –Are you qualified to do [...]

Heart of Worship

It’s Sunday morning, and I have worship on my mind. Well, we need to have “a heart of worship” every day, right? When I was in Campus Crusade for Christ, we sang many, many praise songs, and they really touched my heart. Some of them came straight from the book of Psalms, and those songs [...]
