I am 62 years old. Is it necessary to learn something new, especially in the kitchen? For some time now I have wondered if I really wanted to invest my time, money and energy in creating and maintaining a sourdough starter. An avid baker and willing creator of yummy meals, I find the kitchen is … Continue reading Sourdough for Starters

Serving Cancer Heroes
In my years serving alongside my husband in the role of “THE PASTOR’S WIFE,” I will never forget words spoken to a young, beautiful mom fighting for her health and yet, suffocating in the pain and misery of cancer and its brutal treatment! Back home after a hospital stay, she was feeling weary and worn. … Continue reading Serving Cancer Heroes
Caveat lector: Let the Reader Beware!
This may be a bit gross for some prim and proper people, but I feel it must be said!

But shockers of all … Continue reading Caveat lector: Let the Reader Beware!
A NEW WORK OF LOVE
Last month, as we began a new year (2025), I felt the Lord nudging me in a direction that felt uncomfortable. “Lord, I am not sure about this.

A Beautiful Christmas: Even with Failing Lights
Christmas is the most beautiful time of the year! A beauty I attempt to reproduce in every part of my world. Yet, I fall short time and time again because “I” try to reproduce something that is superficial and smallminded. Since realizing my desire for more than the trivial from Christmas, my prayer is for … Continue reading A Beautiful Christmas: Even with Failing Lights
