    This week M has a cold and my husband is scheduled for a routine colonoscopy Friday morning. This makes menu planning more necessary, in my opinion. Since there are spiritual and physical health benefits to fasting, M and I are going to join with a juice fast on Thurs. This week I’m looking forward to…

    It’s been a few weeks, but the joy hasn’t faded. My loves whisked me away for my birthday to the oldest city in the United States. When their original plan had to be cancelled due to the hurricane, I tried to talk them into just staying home. We love our home plus this didn’t feel…

I don’t remember having one until a few years ago when I started signing all my letters and emails Consider the lilies, Diane A sweet 3 word reminder from Jesus not to worry because He cares for us.

    There’s really only one type of planning I look forward to and it’s menu planning. Turns out this is the one area most of my friends don’t like to plan so it’s been fun sharing inspiration and ideas back and forth. A little background. I haven’t always enjoyed cooking and only knew how to put…

    Sometimes I wait for the perfect time, which never comes, and before I know it, the dream is so faded I can’t even remember it. Has that ever happened to you? I’ve dreamed of writing a blog since I first heard what a blog was. It started as a cooking blog dream, but I take…
