Summer is far spent. I can hardly believe that August is nearly halfway over. We in southwest Arkansas have had our usual smorgasborg of weather. Horrible heat and humidity, tumultuous thunderstorms, and even calming cool winds have been on our plate this summer. Just when the grass near the outer edges of our yard, where …
It’s finally here! This revolutionary vitamin will reduce stress dramatically by totally removing all guilt from your life. No more guilt about not having enough money! No more guilt about not reading enough to your children! No more guilt about not sending them to gymnastics, soccer, piano, violin and girl or boy scouts! And what …
I love to read. I love classic literature the most, I suppose. I enjoy reading books by authors like Twain, Bronte, Montgomery, and Dickens. I also enjoy classic poetry. My daughter is memorizing the following poem by Longfellow. I get misty eyed almost every time we recite it. I know it’s silly. I cry pretty …
I am so sorry I haven’t posted the promised photos! I will do my best to get that done this week. I would love to show you around the wonderful house God has loaned us here in Hope. It is beautiful! We have a deck where I have a few potted flowers and some bird …

I was recently cleaning out some of the obscure areas in our home. Areas like our hall closet, our bedroom closet, the pantry and the laundry room. I was cleaning the shelves above my washer and dryer when I saw a wide assortment of little things on the shelf. There were three cherries and a …
I felt worn out, sick and tired last Wednesday. One of the major benefits of homeschooling is flexibiltiy! We can do school inside or outside, we can do it early or late (though I prefer early! You never know what can pop up late in the day, especially as a Pastor.) We can dress up, …
Well, I am a testimony that no matter how faithful you are to church, Bible reading and prayer, you still battle the flesh! Won’t Heaven be wonderful? No more sin, no pain, NO ALLERGIES!! I have had more trouble the last few days with my allergies than I’ve had in ages. I haven’t taken a …
Lauren and Mitchell only 2 1/2 years ago! How they’ve changed! Some days are so busy that I think I’m going to collapse during dinner. Homeschooling two kids, having a toddler and infant to care for, i.e., read to, talk to, play with, care for,etc… can be so exhausting. I spend my days putting out …
