Books for the babes, blog for the Body!
There have been many times my heavenly Father has provided for me, especially in the last five years. However, nothing has left me as awestruck as the summer of 2018. I've mentioned before in previous posts that I worked as an agronomist. In the Sandhills of Nebraska, many days are windy and because of our... Continue Reading →
In high school I took two Spanish classes. I cannot say I learned to speak Spanish. I did, however, learn my teacher liked chocolate covered ants and she accidentally killed a baby bunny by warming it in the microwave after she found it in the snow one winter. I cannot meet a person in Mexico... Continue Reading →
When I was first learning how to ride a horse, the instructor kept telling me to keep my eyes up. She'd call out, telling me to keep my eyes forward, keep them up, look in the direction I wanted the horse to go. This didn't make any sense to me. I thought the reins were... Continue Reading →
The book of Psalms in the Bible is a collection of emotions from those who came before us. There are expressions of anger, praise, and heartbreak woven into the lines of beautiful poems. As you read through the book you'll see we are not very different from the men and women told about in the... Continue Reading →
In the Bible I have read many verses telling of God's healing power. In Psalm 103:3, Scripture says he forgives all our sins and heals all our diseases. I know I've said this before in one of my previous posts, but if my Father is big enough to do miracles, he's too big for me... Continue Reading →
My son's class did an assignment for Christmas, and each child's response was published in the local paper along with their class picture. The question the kids had to answer was What is the best Christmas gift you've ever given. Most of the children answered some kind of cool toy, homemade ornaments, or homemade calendars....

If you receive anything inspiring or encouraging from my posts, it's the Holy Spirit. If you have... Continue Reading →
Recently I was accused of making "sweeping statements" without providing viable supporting references. Although this accusation is not a surprise to me (1 Peter 5:8), my fiery Irish spirit relishes the opportunity for a good debate. In addition, I believe God allowed this minor attack on my character (Job 1:8) because he knew there was... Continue Reading →
Have you heard him? Did you know he talks? I believed God answered prayers, but I never really thought about how. I never thought about what an answer might look like. Would it be a visible sign, something I heard, something I felt? In my young years of going to church and CCD I was... Continue Reading →
In my limited spiritual experience, I have found there is a big difference between sitting in church on Sunday morning agreeing with the sermon, and actually walking with the Lord. I like to dress up and attend church! I love seeing my friends. Our children always look so handsome, especially in their Christmas outfits, and... Continue Reading →
