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.

Turning Points

Today I heard lyrics on the radio that really bugged me. I was listening to Christian radio.  I can’t remember the exact lyrics, but the gist of them were this: Now that I know Jesus, I’m not the same person I used to be. I have several friends who could belt out that song and really mean it, from the depths of their souls.  They were saved as teenagers or as adults, and their lives took a true 180 degree turn.  From promiscuous behavior to purity. From alcoholism to abstaining.  They are living examples of the saving power of the … Continue reading Turning Points

True Freedom

everfaith

I belong to no political party.  The Republicans think they own me because I supported Governor Mike Huckabee eons ago.  Yet they are wrong. Republicans do not speak for me. Democrats do not speak for me. If I were to lump myself into a crowd, I’d choose the Jesus Party. My political platform is taken from the words of Jesus Himself: Matthew 7:12  “Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets.” If I drew a Venn diagram of the platforms of … Continue reading True Freedom

How Can I Eat a Cookie If I Can’t Have Wheat?

I’ve always heard that we ARE what we EAT. We’ve known for years that ingesting too much sugar can lead to all sorts of diseases, such as diabetes, and that a high fat, high carb diet can lead to heart disease.  But what happens when we find out that the healthy food we eat is the source of our infirmities? I recently completed a blood test called the ALCAT to check for food intolerances.  The ALCAT measures the way a person’s blood cells react to certain foods, chemicals, drugs, and other substances.  A control sample of my blood was charted. … Continue reading How Can I Eat a Cookie If I Can’t Have Wheat?

The Blessed List

everfaith

These are a few things that make me feel joyful and incredibly blessed… Hydrangeas just taking on the blush of pink color. Just looking at them makes me feel refreshed and renewed, and I marvel again at God’s workmanship. Especially after I used a pocket rocket air blower thingy on the sensor on my camera and FINALLY got rid of the smudge that kept showing up on all my photos! Palm trees all lit up at night, like a paintbrush illustrating the sky. Palm tree fuzz.  Or bark.  Or whatever it’s called.  I think it has a distinctive funkiness and … Continue reading The Blessed List

Good News….

everfaith

Well, it’s confirmed that this lady DOES have a brain! And the brain does NOT show any signs of a breakdown in the protective covering of the nerves, which would be MS…so MS is not likely.  Whoo-hoo! The other news is that there is damage to nerves in my neck — a fact that didn’t surprise the doctor after looking at my X-rays. I’m all out of whack, and my spinal column is pressing on the cord and causing damage.  Unfortunately any kind of adjustments to my neck cause intense fibromyalgia flare ups. So no more adjustments, at least for … Continue reading Good News….
