prayer One of our greatest obstacles to prayer is ANSWERED prayer. We assume we know how God will answer - how He will work -- that because He has answered in a specific way in the past -- He will do thus now. We must seek what God *will* do, not just on what He *has* done. If we prayer for what we think God can answer, we limit Him to our own imagination instead of being open to *whatever* HE will do or however HE will answer and lead.

I’m grateful to have the great privilege of making the cake for our precious friend’s wedding this weekend. It is with great joy and honour that we anticipate this wedding for Andrew and Gen. As we make plans for their wedding and reception and all the details that need to be taken care of, I’m continually asking the LORD for guidance and strength that each detail and need will be met and filled and that we will be used of the [...]

God is good all the time…. ALL of the time, in all places for all time: God is the great I AM.
When I traveled a bit north to join other sisters in the LORD at a wonderful Titus2 meeting this past Thursday evening, I wasn’t actually aware at that point what the next few days would bring — and yet, the LORD, in His mercy, ordered up the days and provided all that was needed — I see that [...]

You know… you just couldn’t make this stuff up.
Could this scenario be coming soon to a church near you?
Incredible. Really, incredible. Here’s one… the Granger Community Church event. How about a U2charist ?
Really, I couldn’t make this up.
You’ve heard me say many times, if I keep shaking my head like this, it’s going to come clean off. And, there are some who probably wish that would happen and I’d stop talking about all the incredible, blasphemous things going on.
Turning to [...]

for the comments and personal letters regarding this blog.
I’ll get back to writing about stuff from the home-front and slices of life. And there’s much to say – much to write. But, mygoodness, there is so much going on that it seems it begs to be revealed. At least that’s how it seems to me, anyway.
So, for now… the links on this blog have apparently been restored, I’ve corrected a bunch of dead links on the ACH website (a seemingly never [...]

Can’s sleep tonight. I don’t know if I had too much coffee or read too much or listened to too much today. It’s probably a combination of the three… but… sleep eludes me tonight. So much is going on!! I am completely astonished—really. I say to myself over and over… how bad are things going to get. What will things look like when they get there? It’s amazing to me the incredible break-neck [...]

O, that men would praise the LORD for His wonderful works…
O, that men would turn from their ways and acknowledge the LORD.
As I mull over the things I’ve been reading and listening to over the last several days, I’m thinking: What?!?!?! I ache over the profound effect of the great departing of the truth and faith in God—
If you’re listening to what’s being said, you’ll hear a tremendous outcry and tremendous outpouring of sudden empathy for the plight of millions. [...]

This ought to rock your boat.
In a Crosswalk interview, Kay Warren had a whole bunch to say. And, by the way… this is not a mean-spirited post against Kay Warren or another rant against all the contemplative-seeker-purpose-yada-yada-yada. But the alarm is blaring. Can you hear it?
A few years ago Kay Warren read a magazine article presenting the plight of the HIV-positive millions and the millions with AIDS. “If He couldn’t get my attention with the [...]

I’m still waiting for a solution to the blog links, etc., problem. I will post in a day or so — when the problems are resolved. Actually, this is a very good thing. I need to be busy at home, and loving my husband and children… you know, Titus 2 things —- very good things — and then I’ll post again. Links ought to be repaired soon.

I’m not sure what the problem is with the links on this blog.TWH.site and so I am not able to correct. Not that I get lots of feedback… but I’d like to have things running smoothly nonetheless. Attempts have failed. I’m ready to simply post entries on the website and eliminate wordpress. Alas, it is a challenge to be an out-of-shape-out-of-sorts bespectacled grandma. With a blog. And no real computer skills. None that matter in a storm, that is.

This, from Anne Zeise’s A to Z Home’s Cool Homeschooling:
(Yes, you’ll probably attempt to sing it. Yep, I know… I did, too.)
14 Days of Homeschooling
To the tune of “Twelve Days of Christmas.”
On the first day of homeschool my neighbor said to me, “Can you homeschool legally?”
On the second day of homeschool my neighbor said to me, “Are they socialized, can you homeschool legally?”
On the third day of homeschool my neighbor said to me, [...]

End the shame. Protect against childhood sexualabuse. The shame comes from keeping quiet about CSA. Jesus loves us, Jesus heals us.
