I woke up this morning with the sun beginning to paint the sky and I thought back to yesterday morning… My first thought was: I did it! I did something I had been wanting to do – something I had planned to do ten years ago – but ten years ago I had a new baby, I had a new daughter in law and lots of other things going on. But I still had this goal – this “thing to do!” in my life. Now, for many, this wasn’t that momentous a goal – it wasn’t something of a ‘big…

Everywhere – it’s everywhere. Talk, talk, talk… the economy, jobs, bailouts, recession, buyouts, loans, failures, credit, money, money, money. My husband’s in the swimmingpool business. In the Pacific Northwest. We know about the downturn. Got the memo this past summer – it wasn’t really a banner year. But you know… this country’s been in a free fall for years – we just had enough plastic to cushion the fall — or so it seemed. The free fall has been happening and it seems America was just at the beach admiring the view, sitting under broad-brimmed hats, wearing rose coloured shades…

[Reprint of Doc Shillington’s Newsletter – http://www.organicsolutionsstore.com/ ] Organic Solutions, Inc. Volume 8 – Issue 1 The Future We live in interesting times. The failure of World leaders to bring about World Peace has never been more evident than it is today. The problems facing man look as if they are coming to a head all at once. Inflation is soaring; Housing is in deep trouble; War looms on several fronts; and the quality of our Water, Food and Healthcare has gone out the bottom long ago. Welllllllll, this is not a dissertation on “Doom and Gloom” and “how bad…

I suppose I’m still in my travels down the melancholy memory lane. I don’t know if the Autumn season has brought all this on or not — I don’t know if the realization of my own life-season of autumn has brought all this on. Whatever the case, I’m still strolling among falling leaves. To God be the glory… Great things He has done. Wes baptized Samuel and three more of our children on the first of this month. I truly know no greater joy than that our children walk in Truth — and no greater…

Joey is the only one of our children who regularly carries the roosters around and always has a good time with them. He's the one that has the responsibility of looking after the chickens each day and he really takes good care of them. Andrew had a different and exciting experience with them today.

I am posting this (below) directly from a Worldnet Daily Article – you can read the rest there. I am, and — you should — if at all possible, take a stand. I don’t very often make the bold statement to boycott things/companies — companies like McDonald’s who, for example, for personal – anti family – gain, exploit families through their seeming “family friendly” restaurants, cheap meals and trinkets that trap parents and children and entice them to buy into or even to simply accept behaviours, movies, entertainment, clothing, toys and other consumer goods that are absolutely contrary to moral…

Every day… every day… day after day, there’s the dilemma: what’s for dinner? Or… for many, the daily questions are more like: What’s for breakfast? When’s coffee? What’s for lunch? What’s for snack? What’s for dinner? Where’s the chocolate for me? Here are a few dinner recipes and you might also want to print up a couple of these… “Dozens of Dinners” dinner ideas and a page of “Bunches of Lunches” lunch ideas I wrote up for a cookbook a long time ago. As an aid for the kitchen sink ponderings as to what to have for dinner, I posted…

Have you ever asked that question? Have you ever been in a valley and wondered what in the world you’ve accomplished in life – or if the things you’ve done have any lasting value? As I was praying and going to sleep the other night, I asked the LORD about the value of time and accomplishments to this point in my life. I wondered: have I done anything — really? Well, interestingly enough — and I don’t consider it a fluke by any means — my busy-as-a-bee, Hannah, was ordering up our storage closet in the attic and she came…

I’m in the midst of canning, canning, canning… and I needed some pickle info… and so looked around and found my answer. Wow! What a great site I discovered.

I particularly like that site bcz if there’s any question as to the type or appearance of the fruit or vegetable, there are *many* photos and illustrations! Go ahead……
