This week I came across some things online that made me realize I wanted to make sure people understand something important about my podcasts. If you find that women’s empowerment movements, books, conferences, and the like leave you feeling discouraged and inadequate, then you are not alone. And you are in the right place. Listen […]

If you are over a certain age, Emilie Barnes will be a familiar name to you and this post might be like a walk down memory lane that sends you scouring the bookshelves of your home for your own Emilie Barnes books. If you are younger, you might not be familiar with her at all. […]

Originally published on December 11, 2005, I’m republishing it today and hope the following words encourage you to live […]

Way back in 2007 I wrote Have You Prayed for Paris Hilton? At the time, this celebrity was everywhere in the news and, in fact, in prison. I just pulled my post out of the unpublished archives and republished it because it ties in with what I’m going to say today. I’d appreciate it if […]

Like most book lovers, I’ve read many books that had a positive impact on my life. But if I had to narrow down the list and select the books that profoundly changed my thinking and the way I have lived my life, then the list quickly becomes much shorter. There are two books by Richard […]

The past few months I’ve been making choices that allow me to focus more on home and health which I previously wrote about in Focusing on Health, Home, and Homeschooling and My Themes and Goals This Year: Health and Home. As part of that, I’ve been returning to Proverbs 14:1 over and over again. Here […]

I received two lovely gifts for Christmas that I’m using this year for my Bible reading and devotional time. Although I have a couple of Bibles I still like to use over and over again, I also like something new. This year I was blessed to receive two wonderful presents I will enjoy using all […]

This website has gone through so many names and approaches over the past fourteen years and, consequently, I’ve added and removed content regularly. Now that I’ve finally settled on what I’m doing (and blogging gurus can go jump in a lake), I’ve been going through my unpublished archives to see if there are things I […]

I first published Merry Christmas, Darling in 2005 when I was a brand new blogger. I bumped it up from time to time on my previous blog (2009 and 2013). It wasn’t on this website and it is a story I want to share my readers. Interestingly, just a few weeks after I first wrote […]

One of the often searched for posts on my site is “Who Am I?” Sung by the Altar of Praise Chorale. I was listening to it this evening while doing some work here and thought it would be nice to put together a collection of peaceful hymns sung by this acapella chorale and some others. […]

This was originally written in June 2009 at the height of the “homeschool or you are a terrible Christian and will lose your children forever” movement in Christian homeschool blogging. I was thinking about this topic again and found this post to republish. I have rewritten it a bit because the post I linked to […]

Lately I’ve noticed a trend among some Christians to call their husband or wife their “partner” instead of what that person really is – a husband or wife. I’m over fifty and no one ever – ever – called their husband or wife their “partner” in Christian circles until the past few years. Why the change? I […]

A regular quiet time can be a significant part of a growing spiritual life. But do you struggle to maintain a consistent quiet time? Many Christians do. I’ve had periods in my life with a rich quiet time routine and other times when I really struggled or it even became non-existent. There are a number […]
