The rustling of wrapping paper and the sharp sound of Scotch tape tearing greeted me as I stepped through the basement door. I inhaled the scent of sugar cookies, my Grandma’s classic treat. No one made them like she did. Her basement was a busy bustle as aunts and cousins gathered to lend a hand […]
Read a Bit {Don’t Overthink It}

Overcomer Movie Tickets Giveaway
War Room is one of my very favorite movies. The message about the power of prayer, the importance of prayer, and the passion to pray deeply resonated with me. The Kendrick Brothers do a terrific job of producing films with powerful messages, interlaced with humor, real-life and a good, hefty dose of encouragement as we […]

Four Summer Bible Study Suggestions
Summer seems to be a mixture of lazy and busy battered together and set into the sunshine to bake! Long days, schedule change, and water games. High temps, quick sandwiches, and chicken on the grill.Hammock swingin’, flowers and vegetables growin’, and iced tea sippin’.I’ve found, for me, a shorter Bible study, less intense, yet still […]

And before it does, let’s sneak in a few more days of water splashing and hammock-laying and lazy afternoons of reading. […]
One Favorite Color
I love color. God could have given us a world of black and white, but He didn’t. He spoke it into existence and He splashed it brilliantly and vibrantly with a rainbow of colors and hues upon hues. Isn’t it incredible?! Yes, I love most any and all colors. There are a few I wouldn’t […]

Eating popsicles, orange or red, purple or green….licking them […]
