I’m happy to share that the list service that helped me with The Welcome Home messages in the past will also be helping me with the new: Letters To My Sisters email letter subscriptions. This, from our website… More Information here. Letters To My Sisters will be much like The Welcome Home messages I used to send to subscribers. And as for our friend’s wedding… well, it was so beautiful… more on that later! This morning found us sort of dragging and slow. After the mountain of table linens and towels is conquered, I’ll post a note and some pictures.…

If your spanish (or other language, for that matter) skills are not sharp and if you need to have something translated, click this link: http://www.google.com/language_tools?hl=en I received a letter this morning and wanted to be sure of the precise translation. Now, it’s a word-for-word translation and so doesn’t “read well” but you’ll get the gist of the matter. I only say this for impersonal letters… getting the gist of something is not the same as getting the literal intended meaning. Many things get lost in “translation.” This wasn’t intended to veer toward Bible translations or interpretations or paraphrases… but I…

Dear Sisters Are you feeling alone and in need of inspiration for the task the LORD has given you as a wife, mother and handmaiden of the LORD? Are you in a place that seems difficult, without mentors or encouragement for the narrow path ahead? Perhaps you are what might be called a “first generation Christian” and perhaps you’ve had few role models or godly examples of just how to be a loving mother, how to live and dress modestly, how to care for and love your children or what it is to be a keeper at home. You simply…

This has been a week where things just don’t go how I thought they might, or how I hoped they wouldn’t (yes, I thought about that wording ~wink~). Things are actually coming together so nicely. Wedding cakes are baked and frozen… ready and waiting for me to frost on Friday and assemble on Saturday. As the wedding day for our friends draws near and we’re making much ado about everything — it seems like just yesterday this wedding was a long, long way off. In the midst of all the hustle and bustle, Wes and I made a quick run…

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 LORD to contribute what’s needed to make the day a delight to them and a blessing to all who…

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 so well now. We had unexpected guests stay with us for a few days and many “things on the docket.”…

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 the local Christian music station this afternoon and hearing a song about the grinch,…

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 ending activity) and added some new articles and modest clothing sites along with suggestions for stuff to…

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 speed at which things are hurling concerning the state of affairs in the church today and all that’s going on. Concerned with temporal things, seduced by the…

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. A sudden call to responsibility for the problems of the world (as if they recently came to…
