Berry Pudding Volcanoes for Recipe Friday

Last weekend we had company over and so I decided to make something special for dinner, plus dessert. I made my Turkey Meatballs, modified slightly with added Italian sausage and adjustments to the bread crumbs, cheese, and tomato. I served it with ravioli, Sesame Garlic...

Psalm 113 – Praise the Lord for Mothers

Today is Mothers’ Day. The gift of motherhood is one of the greatest God can give to a woman, and the gift of a mother is one of the greatest gifts God has given to children. The love of a mother for her child is rivaled...

Cauliflower Garlic Rice Skillet

I’ve been trying to decide all week what to post for Recipe Friday, but we really haven’t had anything new all week. Monday we had Fajita Tacos, Tuesday we had Goulash (albeit with rotini noodles instead of macaroni, which my husband says makes it not Goulash,...

My Son – A Poem

Children are a wonderful gift from God. I only have one son, but I am very thankful for having him in my life. I am also thankful that God has made him a kind, compassionate, creative, and funny young man. I’ve always said that no one...

A Lesson from King Josiah: Older and Wiser

I’m getting back to my Bible-in-a-year schedule. The date on my schedule says it’s October, but I’m pretty sure it’s May. It is May, isn’t it? Anyway, I took a break from this schedule for Lent and followed the Wordstrong reading schedule my whole church...

Pan-Fried Oatmeal for Recipe Friday

I am not a huge fan of breakfast. Except for Toad in the Holes, I don’t care much for eggs. I don’t like maple syrup, so pancakes aren’t my favorite either. Plus I’m usually just not that hungry in the morning. But I do love...

Music Monday Extra – One Trick Pony

I love this song by MercyMe. It’s on the same CD as “So Long Self” that I featured in my post this morning. I actually wrote a post based on this song, “One Trick Pony,” last year before I knew how to insert videos or...

Meatloaf for Recipe Friday

I have always loved meatloaf, and my mom used to make the best meatloaf ever. Unfortunately, I never got her meatloaf recipe before she died. I’ve tried a number of recipes that have been okay, but not great. Then I’ve winged it a few times...

The Best Concert that Almost Was

One thing I’ve learned about this life is that it can be full of alternating excitement and disappointment. The disappointment can be extremely difficult sometimes or it can just be on the level of annoying. This week I experienced just such a roller coaster ride...
