God at work

This last Friday, my mom and our daughter traveled with me to Northern Minnesota.  Our main purpose was for me to meet my newest Great-Niece, Isla.  She was born in November and this was my first opportunity to get away and see her.  Since we had a long weekend, we took the opportunity to go.…

I was introduced to this poem at the beginning of December and I haven’t been able to get it out of my mind. I don’t know the author of this poem (if you do let me know), but I think it perfectly sums up the meaning of Christmas.  Be sure to keep Christmas in your…

In this season of giving and abundance, please remember those who are less fortunate.  Find a family, an organization, a church, or an angel tree at a business and bless someone.  You could even do some of those wonderful random acts of kindness.  Walk in to a homeless shelter and hand out gifts, pay for…

Based on the book WOMEN LIVING WELL by Courtney Joseph I’ve started a new habit.  This is a habit I hope that I can keep for a very long time.  I reviewed WOMEN LIVING WELL earlier this week, (see review HERE) and I decided to incorporate Courtney’s idea of memorizing a new verse each week.…

This weekend we had to travel about an hour and a half each way for Patrick’s cross country meet.  He did awesome by the way….. A very hilly course, a longer race than some of the other meets (1.8 miles) and against some tough schools and he placed 8th for middle school boys and was…
