The Dangers of Following Your Heart

In a few weeks I am going to a Casting Crowns concert with a friend. One of the opening bands is Sanctus Real. Since I wasn’t familiar with their music I decided to get their newest CD to listen to before the concert. The whole...

Psalm 15 – Who May Dwell with the Lord?

I love this Psalm. It reminds me of what I need to do so that I “will never be shaken.” I also know that I would have a very difficult time doing some of these things without the help of the Holy Spirit. Psalm 15...

For My Sister – Priceless Pictures

On our summer trip to Austin to visit family, my sister took a ton of pictures. Well, okay, she only took 801, but that’s still a lot of pictures in a week. Then when we arrived at my house after our afternoon flight home I...

Lemon Coconut Cake for Recipe Friday

Marigolds, Mouthwash, and Music – My Anniversary Tuesday Three

Today is my husband’s and my 25th anniversary. It’s such a special occasion that I decided I wanted to post something about it today. At one time, it was not a big deal for marriages to last 25 years because hardly anyone got divorced. But...

I Love to Tell the Story

Yesterday in church our opening hymn was “I Love to Tell the Story.” It is one of those great old hymns where you really don’t need to have the words on the overhead screen or in the bulletin because everyone knows it. I don’t think we’ve...
