Nothing Refreshes Like Sea Air

Well, OK, maybe mountain air, or hiking in the woods air . . . Perhaps it's just breathing some air away from where you usually breathe. More to the point, we have returned refreshed and ready to hit the ground running preparing to move west. We just spent another wonderful weekend at Fort Story – [...]

What is Faith?

While I'm referring to other posts on other blogs – here is an excellent, and short, post on Abraham's Faith. He goes through the four aspects of Abraham's faith given by Paul in Romans 4:18-21.

Mother’s Day ~ Bittersweet

I couldn't let this day go by without attempting to put down some thoughts in hopes of encouraging somebody out there. I remember years past when we were trying to conceive and wondering why something so natural and simple was so difficult for us. If this is a rough day for you, I hope it [...]

Culinary Art

When we speak of God's creation, we often think of the external world around us: beautiful sunsets, ocean and mountain views . . . And I do love to feast my eyes on those things. But another wonder of God's creation is the creative mind. I suppose it is part of being made in His [...]

Be Still and Know ~ Resting in God

Well, B finally gave it up and went to sleep this afternoon. It seems the more tired he is the more he fights going to sleep. He does everything he can think of to avoid being still. I can look in his eyes and see the weariness and know how badly he needs to rest [...]
