Just wanted to share this photo of our sweet baby Matthew snuggled up in the quilt his Grandma B. made for him. She has made one for each of our five children and they are items we will treasure forever. She lives far away from us, unfortunately, but I think she sent a small piece …
As a Christian, and especially as a Bishop’s wife, I strive to be consistent in my walk with the Lord. I may not ever achieve great things for God, but I want to be faithful in what little I do accomplish. So many ministry children – pastor’s kids, assistant pastor’s kids – grow into adulthood …
We have had a very busy and full week! Just today, the weather has turned more “autumn like” after about a week of very balmy temperatures. In our neck of the woods, autumn is in her full glory. As a candle flares up right before it burns out completely, so is autumn’s splendor. The color …
1 Thess. 5:18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. It’s that time of year again! Oh, you wouldn’t know it by looking around the department stores, but it’s almost here! It’s one of my favorite holidays: Thanksgiving! Most stores are already setting up for …

We just finished up a revival with Bro. Tim Green this past week. Bro. Green has been to our church three times. We consider him …
Here are a few snapshots I wanted to share. My blog is a diverse collection of my life – homeschooling, devotions, happenings, recipes – and it’s also a great scrapbook! 🙂 Thanks for indulging me, and reading, even when the posts are only of interest to the few of you out there who are related …
I was recently downloading my photos from my camera and discovered a few pictures that I did not remember taking…hmmm. I started to worry about my memory (Me? Worry? Nah.) I was relieved to see some indications that this was not my photography! This is what happens when a five year old and a three …
We were very excited to get spend Labor Day week with our friends and family in Illinois. Terry is originally from Mattoon, Illinois, but we rarely get to go up there. I snapped almost 200 photos during our trip, and there is no way I could post them all, but I wanted to share some …
We have completed three weeks of school! Yippee! We are using the A.C.E. program for 3rd and 6th grades this year. This curriculum choice has freed me up to care for our seven week old baby, teach Leslie K5 using the Abeka materials, and spend time with Laci, age 3. In the A.C.E. program, a …
Lauren wanted to go bowling and eat at Golden Corral for her birthday. We had planned to do these things on her actual birthday, the 27th, but when we found out that Golden Corral let kids eat for $1.99 on Tuesdays, we decided to save some moolah and head over early. It turned out to …
