I am a homeschooling mom who enjoys reading, writing, gabbing, photography, desktop publishing, and letting someone else do the cooking. I love my Superman husband, precious daughter, 2 dogs, my neighbor (that means you!) and Jesus.

What’s for Dinner?

everfaith

One of the most difficult things about having a husband who travels is figuring out what’s for dinner.  I know it seems a trivial concern, but  to me the question of What’s for Dinner is indeed a big deal. Rather than having food issues, I guess you could say I have Non Food issues.  If there was a way to fill up my family the way I fill up my car with gasoline, I’d do it.  It’s not that I don’t enjoy cooking — it’s just that I don’t enjoy food.  Except perhaps for Dove dark chocolate, I am content … Continue reading What’s for Dinner?

The Blue Parakeet in the Kiln

everfaith

This morning my daughter and I spent a couple of hours with a kind neighbor who has a glass jewelry-making business.  She offered to let us come create some pieces of our own.  The colors of the glass that we broke into shards and then placed in a design have hidden attributes.  The extreme heat of the kiln transforms the glass into completely different hues.  In fact, a couple of my pink pieces came out looking golden, but the overall effect was beautiful.  Tomorrow they will be polished and ready after another stint through the fire. Maybe it’s the extreme … Continue reading The Blue Parakeet in the Kiln

It is fascinating to watch God weave the events of our lives so that “coincidences” pop up all over the place. Mind you, I don’t believe in coincidences because, in my mind, our omnipresent Creator already knows every thought before we think it and every action before we move. You know what I am going to say even before I say it, Lord . You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head. I can never escape from your Spirit! I can never get away from your presence! If I go up to … Continue reading Blue Parakeets and Skeletons in the Closet

Whatever seems right in their eyes

everfaith

My brother called me today and asked why it’s been over three weeks since my last blog.  I actually did write a blog last week but ended up deleting it.  I’ve been having some pain (sometimes severe) in my left hand which makes typing undesirable.  But my daily Bible readings have given me endless ideas on scriptures I need to write about.  Hopefully my hand pain will subside soon so that I can write more often again. Last night I dreamed about idols.  Not the American singers, but the kind that people used to make and worship.  It’s not really … Continue reading Whatever seems right in their eyes

Psalm 148 Praise the Lord ! Praise the Lord from the heavens! Praise him from the skies! 2 Praise him, all his angels! Praise him, all the armies of heaven! 3 Praise him, sun and moon! Praise him, all you twinkling stars! 4 Praise him, skies above! Praise him, vapors high above the clouds! 5 Let every created thing give praise to the Lord , for he issued his command, and they came into being. 6 He set them in place forever and ever. His decree will never be revoked. 7 Praise the Lord from the earth, you creatures of … Continue reading Shaped in the storm’s wake
