Everyday conversations with Jesus
Housework automations make the household run smoothly. Yes our housework is largely automated because we use machines that basically do the work for us, like a washing machine. Our job though is to gather up the laundry and load the washing machine. When the washing machine is done, we need to unload the clean clothes... Continue Reading →
This has been a tough season for America. Two colliding thoughts on how to live life. I do not hide that I am a Christian Republican. Unfortunately each party is deeply flawed because people are involved. Having the Dems in control of the House, Senate and Presidency makes me feel a bit like the Israelites... Continue Reading →
Homeschooling during the second semester is quite different than the first semester. If it is done right, it can be a time of the biggest push forward in your child's whole school year.

Recently I've gotten off a medication that had caused me to sleep soundly. It's not the reason I took it but it was a nice... Continue Reading →
One morning while reading and journaling, I saw a shadowy thing go by. I thought, "hummm, that's weird. Wonder what that was." But then I saw clearly what it was. It was a grey rat! The next thing I knew, I found myself doing what many women do in that same situation: screaming loudly and... Continue Reading →
A Hawaiian vacation would have been so nice. I had planned to be there this very day. But it was cancelled because of Covid. We planned this vacation a year ago and saved all year long in hopes that just maybe it would be possible. But the condo there cancelled our reservations. This is just... Continue Reading →
Doing What is Right seems difficult after summer's break. But September is here and although I love the special treats like Pumpkin Spice Latte with a Maple Leaf Cookie from Trader Joes.
