My husband and I are a little excited about this sermon. A pastor friend loaned a CD to my husband on Monday, a sermon by a man named Paris Reidhead. We’d never heard of him before. I’m so glad our friend introduced us to him! We looked him up online, and [...]

First of all, I love BRF. I’m still not reading every day, but I’m reading. Not only am I reading, but I miss it when I don’t. That in itself is exciting.
I always come away from my time in the assigned book (or chunk of a book) excited and challenged. I [...]

WFMW: Tar clean-up

Remember those old Mop ‘n Glo commercials? The ones where the floor is brown and in one swipe with this amazing cleaner, it’s sparkling white again? Well, bacon grease is to tar-covered skin what Mop ‘n Glo is to dirty floors. Amazing.
So the next time you have a spring blizzard and don’t [...]

Perfect

On a scale of one to ten, today is at least a twelve. I believe I have found my exact climatic conditions for optimal physical and mental health. Whatever today’s conditions are, that’s it.

Week in Review

When I was in college, the Sunday night meal was affectionately dubbed “Week in Review” by the students. All the leftovers from the week were heated up and set out buffet style. (I think the local eating establishments did a brisk business on Sunday evenings.) I didn’t mind. I love food [...]

Remember that ad? Participaction ~ get with the action! Do it, do it, do it!

Mad Gab

Ever play Mad Gab? (I just typed Mad “Bag”. Good typo.) Hilarious game. Sometimes we who live in The Valley sound like we’re playing Mad Gab when we talk. Yes, we sound like hicks. For the most part, we’re pretty proud of it. On Seardy we head [...]

Greedcycle

I first heard about Freecycle through my youngest sister. Email after email arrived from Edmonton describing the latest unbelievable Freecycle treasures. It sounded too good to be true, and I wanted in on the action. Who wouldn’t want boxes of real china, a working deep freeze, an antique rocking chair, a second [...]

BRF: Jonah

It’s that time of day when the kids are in bed listening to my husband read aloud (they are in the middle of a Hardy Boys mystery tonight), I still have a long list of things to do before bed and my brain is shutting down. I would love to curl up in the [...]

My cup runneth over!

Full. Life is good and my heart is full. Let’s just say I’m preparin’ for rain. (If you haven’t seen Facing the Giants yet, do it. Then you’ll know what I’m talkin’ ’bout.)
So much to say and no time to say it. Too busy living it! If tomorrow cooperates, [...]
