Secrets of the Vine...

"Big Daddy" and I started reading "Secrets of the Vine" (by Bruce Wilkinson based on John Chapter 15) yesterday... oldy but goody  this morning I was reminded that as we turn and face the vine dresser and allow the shaping and pruning by His hand is when the good fruit is encouraged and the environment is condusive to growing the best fruit and also encourages even more fruit. Even though discomfort is kind of enividable it's totally worth it ~

Grrrrr... Grumble Grumble

This cough is on my last nerve! I've had it for about 3 weeks! I'm weezy and sneezy... and you know the old bladder ain't what she used to be... leek and eek!  My new normal STINKS!  Allergies that get worse every year, Grey hair and a leaky bladder is just a little too much for this girl to take... sigh

What I'm Working On...

Acts the 3 man show...


I watched "Acts the 3 man show" tonight at Koinonia... WOW! what an incredible performance of the book of Acts (in the bible)... The kids went with me and enjoyed it equally as much. On the way home we discussed how it made each of us feel. It stirred similar emotions in all of us. Brittani said that it made her feel like what we scarifies for Christ is so little in comparison. Colton's response was Ya like when we don't even want to go to church on Sundays. My feeling was man I don't have that sense of urgency to tell people about Christ let alone being beaten and martyred for Him.

Watching the Bible come alive in this way was truly moving. If you missed it you missed something amazing!

Break Through!!!


So I FINALLY, thanks to my friend Sylvia, have been introduced to a realistic approach to planning meals and getting farther than the menu! To my shame for many years I have not been successful in this area to say the least! Recently Sylvia sat me down with some sale papers recipes and a do-able strategy to meal planning. This has led to saving lots of money, happy Parson tummies and much needed relief for me! I created this planning template because I was having a hard time finding one with a "meal prep plan" section which is a key portion to my new approach! This is only a snap shot of the document but I had to share :) I also did it very simply and figured I could spice it up with colored paper???
