#preachingtomyself

This is something I posted on Facebook over 4 years ago but it’s still relevant and God’s still working on me so I thought I’d share it again… It’s so easy….so very, very easy, for us to get caught up with focusing on our differences–our skin is a different color, our political views are vastlyContinue reading “#preachingtomyself”

The Greatest Accomplishment…

I have a friend and mentor who retired a couple of years ago. He’s a well known community leader with a long and successful career. The last time we met right before he retired he told me, “Well, it looks like I made it!”.

We kind of still think of her as being an 8 year old. Funny thing about kids, they have a wayContinue reading “June 21, 2020”

Growing sprouts…

Store bought sprouts can be kind of pricey and that’s if you can find them at all. The ones I’ve bought in the past have cost around $3-$4 for about 4 ounces of sprouts and usually I’ve only been able to find a very limited variety. So I’ve started growing my own. It’s super easyContinue reading “Growing sprouts…”

Welcome to our table…

C’mon in. We’re glad you’re here! One the things, maybe the thing, that our family loves best is having friends, family, and sometimes even strangers around our table. Be it a full blown meal, a piece of pie or even just a cup of coffee, there is just something magical that happens when people comeContinue reading “Welcome to our table…”
