Student Planners

Moms, how are you coming on your organizational skills this year?  I’m going to admit right now that I have not always been the most organized person.  But over the years and with much prodding from my dear husband, I have become much more organized in all that I do (from running the house, to [...]

Faith! Living Out the Word book give-a-way

You could summarize the book of James in one word, “FAITH”.  Just what does it mean to have faith?  Every day you demonstrate great faith.  Even now, wherever you are sitting you have placed faith in your chair to hold you up.  Chances are you sat down without a bit of fear or worry that [...]

Encouragement

There is something about a good story that makes spiritual truths more comprehensible. When a story touches our heart the impact of its validity is long lasting. Christ, himself, taught in parables.

Computers and our Children

Computers – they have been called a necessary evil.  But, what would we do without them?  Our family is computer poor.  Two years ago we had four laptops and three desktops.  We sold one desktop and gave away another bringing us to only five computers.  We are a family of five therefore logically we needed [...]

A Must Read…

We are a family of readers.  From the youngest to oldest, we all enjoy good quality books.  Books are like everything else, there are very good ones and very bad ones.  And there are many in between.  Therefore, you cannot be too careful when choosing books.  As believers in Christ, my husband and I try [...]
