We Are Little Builders
This song has been going through my head: We are little builders building block by block, But our sure foundation is the Solid Rock, Not for wealth we’re building, nor for praise of man, But for our Redeemer doing all we can.

My Basement Kitchen
My kitchen area… This kitchen area doesn’t necessarily have a set of dream cupboards in it, but they work and they are an improvement over the old metal cupboards I had at our old house. Plus, I’m used to mismatched, because our old farmhouse had wooden cupboards for the upper cabinets and metal for the lower. […]
