What’s Growing in My Garden


IMG_3162

Most people who know me know that I’m no gardener. I think the sweltering summers spent in our huge garden or the corn and soybean fields of my childhood cured me of it. But I do enjoy watching this little flower grow. She is getting very excited about her upcoming dance recital. They have changed things around on TypePad, so I have to relearn everything. Sorry!

What ARE they talking about?

People today are hungry for meaning and purpose in their lives. When someone offers up a simple explanation for troubles like "being disconnected from the power source" or requiring an "egoic enema," it’s easy to be confused. I put my faith in the Word of God rather than the flowery words of man who is mortal. I found a great video that compares the New Age teaching of Wayne Dyer and biblical Christianity. It could help you determine false teaching whether it’s coming from Oprah or your next-door neighbor.

Beach Babies

20080515_072451_0239edited I enjoyed taking all my babies to the beach for a week. There was a little rain on our parade. E took a baseball to the face (the responsible one is on your right!), several took in way too much sun, and there was some complaining and arguing when the rain kept us indoors. We were mostly prepared for the motion sickness this time, thank goodness.

Now that I’ve enjoyed my babies on the beach, I’m looking forward to babying myself a bit this summer. I really, really need some rest. No big commitments are on the horizon! I hope to blog some more–probably just in time for all of you to stop. LOL

Not exactly. But on our first really nice day we are enjoying a time of mini golf and tail-gating. We are doing our best to avoid head injuries. I hope you are enjoying this day the Lird has made.

Spring Has Sprung?

Img_9942How long ago was it that I promised to blog more regularly? I didn’t take the time to crop and straighten this photo (sorry!). I also didn’t take the time to buy my kids brown dress shoes that they would complain about wearing.

It’s hard to believe it’s spring, being as it’s been mostly cold and gloomy. We even had a white Easter!

I’m busy like a bee even though there are no flowers blooming. I am busy with homeschool, church, and speaking engagements. Things will slow down this summer (I hope!) and I can blog more frequently and stay caught up on all of yours.

God bless your busy spring!
