Day 28 No sugar or dairy I’m mulling over “the next project” as possibly staying off fried foods and breads – in restaurants. But not today, and certainly not next month (I’m looking forward to my Louisiana foods next month)! And today, the grandson and I went to Chick-fil-A, except I didn’t feel like sipping … Continue reading Day Twenty-Eight (Soulful Music)

Day 27 No sugar or dairy Some books you just can’t throw out even when they have endured flooding, sailed on the floorboard of the car, and its cover has worn completely off. I was gifted with Max Lucado’s Grace for The Moment fifteen years ago. It has undeniably stood the test of time and … Continue reading Day Twenty-seven (A reconstruction of Sorts)

Day 26 No sugar or dairy As the grandson napped, I zipped through some Bible reading, laundry, and much needed ironing. When I finished pressing the last shirt for the dear hubby, I held it up to admire the work – I love a fresh, crisp ironed shirt. I flipped it around to view the … Continue reading Day Twenty-six (Aiming High)

Day 25 No sugar or dairy This really cracks me up! My devotional for today from my little book, A Spectacle of Glory, by Joni Earackson Tada, actually starts out by saying: “Enjoying a bit of junk food now and then in moderation is no sin. A little salty snack, a piece of chocolate, or … Continue reading Day Twenty-five (Addictions)

Day 22 No sugar or dairy As I type while sipping sage tea, the doorbell rings, but not feeling the need to get up and check for a visitor. Mostly, because it’s too late for visitors and secondly, since moving into our home, the doorbell has randomly rung without anyone there. I do feel less … Continue reading Day Twenty-Two (Look UP)

Day 15  No sugar or dairy We bought a house, literally, in the country. I never wanted to purposefully move out to the country, but we did because of a grandson! Amazing how grandchildren can change you (wink). Besides the grandson, the best thing about country living is the beautiful sky on display. But another … Continue reading Day Fifteen (Thirsty For More)

Day 12 No sugar or dairy I’m a planner! Before I go grocery shopping, I like to plan a-weeks-worth of menus. I have even “tried-out” the monthly preparation. But I have never anticipated planning and shopping day by day. While wondering through the wilderness, the Israelites were instructed to shop daily. The Lord provided but … Continue reading Day Twelve, (a daily reminder)

Day 11  No sugar or dairy A Reflection of “What motivates me to not give up?” On this day, we commemorate the terrorist attack on our soil 16 years ago. Not only were there numerous lives lost from evil, but many first responders died working to save fellow Americans. This generation of military personnel have … Continue reading Day Eleven, (3 Motivations)

Day 10  No sugar or dairy Today I want to share about our special friends with whom we had lunch, and then were blessed by a time of prayer as we sat in their KIA SUV outside of the restaurant. We met Ann and Glen Tingler in 2012. Glen was teaching Sunday School at the … Continue reading Day Ten, (Special Friends)

Day 9  No sugar or dairy Today we had an outing in Angier for the Crape Myrtle Festival. The smells were heavenly. It felt (and smelled) like a mini Fair with funnel cakes and donuts, turkey legs and corn dogs, drawings and raffles, booths and more booths, all centered around Angier’s Train Depot. What a … Continue reading Day Nine, (Carnival smells)
