This is DIY project #3? #4? I don't know. It wasn't intentional. This whole "If you give a mouse a cookie" scenario opened a can of nasty worms when I endeavored to un clog the sink. Simple enough, right? Theoretically, all I had to do was remove the drain assembly, clean the wig of hair … Continue reading Adventures in Plumbing
Great Homestead Expectations
My husband and I hit a low point about a week ago in our morale regarding homestead expansion. We were discussing the necessity of the kitchen remodel before the floor falls through to the basement (I honestly don't know if it's that bad or not, but I don't really want to find out after the … Continue reading Great Homestead Expectations
A Day on the Homestead
We get a lot done around here before noon, and you never quite know what a day will bring. This morning, I woke before the rest of the household and had my quiet time with the Lord. Then I made a breakfast of scrambled eggs and garden tomatoes (blueberries for my son who detests tomatoes) … Continue reading A Day on the Homestead
What We Feed Our Chickens
Call to Me and I will answer you and tell you great and incomprehensible things you do not know.

I was listening to a sermon by Billy Graham, given in Oregon in 1992 and he made mention of a man who when faced with conviction by God of his unconfessed sins, rather than … Continue reading Confession
Spiritual Gifts
My husband is studying theology and Biblical studies through Liberty University right now and one of his classes assigned a spiritual gifts survey as homework. The idea behind the survey is self knowledge of what God has divinely gifted you to do within the Church and in life. Out of curiosity, I took the survey … Continue reading Spiritual Gifts
THE Christmas Story
I was having a conversation with my husband and mother-in-law and we ended up on the subject of Christmas. She mentioned that she believed one of the younger ladies she works with is unfamiliar with the Bible, specifically the Christmas story. As a Christian, it's my responsibility to make sure people hear the message of … Continue reading THE Christmas Story
Home
We received some good news after about two weeks worth of trials; the offer we made on the new house was accepted! Praise God for that answered prayer. To celebrate, my husband brought home surprise Jones Soda and natural vanilla bean ice cream. I hugged him and cried for minutes solid because, doggone it, that … Continue reading Home
