I have written a 9 week family devotional on The Fruit of the Spirit for my family. I decided to share it with you! Because it is so long, I'll be sharing it in pieces. Use whatever parts you like. Customize it to fit your family. Galations 5:22-23 will be repeated weekly, so hopefully by …
Lenten Reading For Kids
The Pastor makes reading lists for our church for Advent and Lent. They really are helpful to get you through the season without missing the significance. Here is the Lent Reading for this year. So, I decided to make the kids' Lent schedule line up with what we adults were doing. I thought it would …
Let’s Talk About Forgiveness
Let me just say that for most people, forgiveness doesn't mean what you think it means. And what you think it means generally depends on what side of the action you find yourself on. I've been thinking quite a bit about forgiveness over the past year or so and have found that most Christians have …
My Prayer Book
Years ago, I began a prayer request book. It was a time in my life that I needed concrete reminders of the faithfulness of God. I just got a cute little journal, opened it up so that one blank page was on the left side and one on the right. On the left, I write …

Lessons Learned
So, in my nostalgic mood, I began thinking about what each of my pregnancies has taught me. You'd think by the third one, you'd have it all down, but that just isn't the case. Each one has revealed to me something new, something different. Each had a different lesson for me to learn. My first …

How is that move going?
Well, it is going fine. Let me tell you, it is difficult to continue running your house while adding the unpacking bit to the mix. I am not completely unpacked yet. Oh well. My kids are happy, so I guess I'm getting the important stuff done. I do not currently have internet access. Terrible, I …
Goodbye To The Parsonage
I guess it is time to let the proverbial cat out of the bag. The Pastor and I are moving back east. We have very much enjoyed our time here at Salem. We knew it wasn't forever when we came here but we had not anticipated what exactly God would do. Our lovely little family …
