With all of the bushes and trees filling out and the grass turning green, my eagerness to be outdoors is also growing!! I have so many plans filling my mind...getting our garden planted, playing H-O-R-S-E and hopscotch with the children, hiking at Turkey Run, cooking dinner on the grill and getting our zipline up and going. We have family traditions of park days where we play wiffle ball and

As the weather is looking more like Spring, my mother's heart is thrilled! Each day as I pray for my children, I cover my mailman-son in prayer: safety, warmth or dryness from rain which will soon change to coolness in the heat, protection from dogs biting him, strength for his knees and ankles and also for those people to whom he delivers mail.My mom's brother carried mail until he retired from

It is fun to tear out small papers and write the name of each person in our family on them and place them in a bowl. The suspense in the eyes of my children makes me giggle. Each person in the family awaits their turn to dip their hand in the paper soup to choose their Secret Friend. Sometimes we have a specific theme and others times it is just to try to stuff as much love into each secret act

I am working on the weekly simplify-my-life goals and I am about done with week one. Everyone else is working on week three.Since Thomas has moved, my heart has had readjusting to do. We plan for this, we raise them for this, but it isn't easy! So, as I have slowly gone through my closet for in fact, I do see it daily, I have worked through both the closet and drawers to clean them out and

I am currently putting together a post about Homeschooling--For Free. However, there is controversy about a BIBLE "curriculum" that doesn't agree with the Bible. Imagine! I read a blog by Anne Elliott about this and wanted to share it here.Have a great day!

We moved. Again. This past October it was a local move to a bit larger home on 7.5 acres. We had relocated to this area as a transfer for employment. (We like to eat so we chose to move.) We were told, however, that it would be temporary. Since our move here had followed the flow of 75 other families to the area, the rentals were hard to come by. The one house we did find, we were thankful

~There was a poor boy who worked at a mill. He worked hard and long all day and most of the night to provide for his mother. One lady observed all of the strenuous work and in asking him further, "Don't you ever tire?," the poor young boy replied, "Oh, yes ma'am!" She then asked, "And what do you do when you get tired?" He energetically answered, "I switch to the other hand!" ~WOW! When I get

We enjoy celebrating in our home. We find all kinds of reasons to have a party! We, of course, have the traditional holidays that most American's acknowledge but we have "edited" them to our liking. We have also created our own reasons to throw a party. Do you remember Faith's Halfway Celebration? We have also celebrated things like new shoes with a song and dance and going out to dinner

There is a countdown going on at our house. We have done this so many times!!My main memories of "counting down" have been when William was on deployment. The children and I would spend the first several days of him being gone cutting and connecting strips of paper and making a chain. I would try to keep it fun with the children but wow was that hard standing there looking at all...those...

I haven't been on here yet this year to begin writing. I had hopes of writing weekly and the older girls taking turns adding to our "online journal" as well.

“Deep in his heart every man longs for admiration of his manliness – his masculine skills, abilities, achievements, ideas, dreams, and manly body. He hungers for it as for bread. Just as you need love, he needs admiration. In fact, the center of a woman’s happiness in marriage is to be loved – but the center of a man’s is to be admired.”~ Mrs. Helen Andelin from page seventy-nine of the book

Since William retired six years ago, our family has been so blessed to be able to "go away" together as a family and attend conferences focused at uniting and unifying family...something our culture has sought to undo.

Let me get this straight—we’ve got a health care plan passed by a Congress that hasn’t read it but exempts themselves from it, signed by a president that hasn’t read it and smokes, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn’t pay his taxes... and financed by a country that’s broke. What could possibly go wrong?

I have internet service at home so I can keep up on our blog again. I tried to do it on my BlackBerry and it just wouldn't work. So just in time for the holiday season, I get to work on updating the past months I have missed...or maybe just pick up where we are now. :)

It has amazed me (and I am not sure why I am shocked by it) how my sin has flaired up since Hubby has been on third shift this week. I was mad that his "reward" for working so much last week at the Vermilion Grove mine to help Peabody transfer gear was to work third shift upon his return. This has really been hard on me. Mostly, I am not having my way and my sin is made aware due to it.

Sometimes going through life, we don't always remember to reflect back to what God did for us on the cross. Reading my devotions yesterday, I was completely touched at how he (Max Lucado in It's Not About Me) put Christ's suffering into words. He was talking about the Edwards Aquifer in South Texas- how no one knows the depth of it. They know how many miles of land it covers but not the depth. He

Repeatedly in the Bible, we see men and women of God drawn into a deeper relationship with God through adversity. There is no doubt that all the circumstances in the long delay of the birth of Isaac and then the experience of taking his only son up to the mountain to offer as a sacrifice brought Abraham into a much deeper relationship with God. The Psalms are replete with expressions of

Perhaps the most valuable way we profit from adversity is in the deepening of our relationship with God. Through adversity we learn to bow before His sovereignty, to trust His wisdom, and to experience the consolations of His love, until we come to the place where we can say with Job, "My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you" (Job 42:5). We begin to pass from knowing about God to

Part of coming to know Christ in a more intimate way is through the fellowship of His sufferings. If we are to truly grow in knowing Christ, we can be sure we will to some degree experience the fellowship of His sufferings. If we are to experience the power of His resurrection, we can also be sure we will experience the fellowship of His sufferings.-Trusting God by Jerry Bridges
