When Your Happy Place Wasn’t

I try my best each day in this little blog to share the love that I feel from our Father. I try to encourage and share the moments when I’ve seen him at work. I also try to encourage you to reach out and ask for God’s guidance when you need it and to not…

The Guild

Change Us

Recently I saw a post on social media, a meme that said, “We ask God to change our situation not realizing he put us in the situation to change us”. Wow, I really, really like this because I think it’s so true. Over the past three years, we’ve all been through so much. I don’t…

Uncle Gene

If you’ve been popping in to read this little blog regularly you know that my husband and I typically have some music playing while we’re making dinner. Last night was one of those nights, we were listening to the Bobby Darin channel, and they were playing some really great songs by some great artists. Dinner…

The Grub & The Memories

I mentioned in this little blog a few posts ago that I’m hosting our community chili cook-off next weekend. I was thinking about the shopping list for my entry and grabbed my cookbook. You see it is “my” cookbook Last Christmas I made a cookbook filled with recipes I’d collected or come up with over…
