Of all the things I’ve done in the last year, I think climbing Mt. Pilchuck was probably my favourite personal accomplishment — or, at least it’s something I’m most glad I did. Through all the years of pregnancies and nursing babies, tending the home, homeschooling the children and church related commitments, I didn’t even consider a lot of outside activities — well, at least not outside of my small realm, anyway. And I certainly never even considered hiking. Probably not even once. Really. I would have said that I am just not the “outdoorsy” type and that the only reason…

Good and faithful servant… enter into the Joy of the LORD. As for Andrew Mark; the LORD hastened the day when his faith would become sight.

The gruesome atrocity of abortion murdering babies must be exposed…. the truth must be made known. Make an on-line slide show at www.OneTrueMedia.com Thank you, Christina, for this. It’s very, very hard to see… but the truth is worth it – babies’ lives are being destroyed.

God bless the Andrew Mark family.

I’m thinking of how our children learn, what motivates them the most and what creates the greatest results in homeschooling? Yes! it’s enthusiasm and love — it’s saying to our children: I am so for you!! I love you!! Maybe at home today we need to give a little more attention to what’s most important and, remember, we all need a little more enthusiastic encouragement for whatever we’re teaching (or learning).

The MOTHERS ACT has been reintroduced in both the U.S. House of Representatives (H.R. 20 introduced Jan 6th 2009) and the U.S. Senate (S. 324 introduced Jan 26 2009). Messages to members of Congress should be gracious, direct and to the point. “The Mothers Act is a bill which will increase mental health screening of pregnant women and new mothers,despite the fact that the widely accepted treatment for women diagnosed with postpartum depression is antidepressant drugs — documented by the U.S. FDA to cause worsening depression, mania, psychosis, suicidal and homicidal ideation and birth defects.

Blind trust is a dangerous thing sometimes. It’s what makes us vulnerable to accepting things we’d not ordinarily accept and makes us do things we’d not ordinarily do. Hope’s like that sometimes too. We sometimes want something so badly that we’ll believe just about anything for that need to be met or filled. Some will sacrifice just about anything to have deep seated longings fulfilled. When I was six years old my mother was dating a man she would eventually marry. I so wanted to call him daddy. We took a train to his home and we visited him. While…

They all run together. The following *sobering* video… not for the fainthearted. Watch CBS Videos Online

Still sick… but not with the same thing – this is a new week, so I have a new bug… now the flu has come through our home and I, a gracious hostess, somehow seemed willing to host this unwelcome guest for the last couple of days. I’m really surprised to have sickness linger… so, yeah… sick again. Cool to have the laptop here beside the bed so I can listen to tremendous sermons while I rest. Gotta say… Paul Washer is probably my favourite to listen to. But some of you knew that already. With all the religious foolishness…

Happy Thanksgiving!
