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

“Life-giving” Joy!
Hi! I am a daughter of Eve! Yes, Eve, the mother of us all. Like Eve, I have thought I knew better than God. Like Eve, I have tried it my way. Like Eve, I have stepped out of line and had to live with the consequences. However, despite Eve’s sin bringing forth death for … Continue reading “Life-giving” Joy!
An Unquenchable Joy
For years, I was a prisoner to my circumstances. Even though as a child I trusted in Jesus for the forgiveness of sins and my eternal state was settled, I lived in defeat more than victory. My joy was stolen whenever something hard came along. And the sad, sad part was, I always felt powerless … Continue reading An Unquenchable Joy
This Day of Celebration!
Today has been a celebration of all that the Lord Jesus, Our Sacrificial Lamb, accomplished on our behalf! It was also a celebration for me “Ending my 47 days of ‘no dairy, no sugar’ Fast.” This day of celebration began with scrambled eggs, a cinnamon chip scone and coffee! A special treat: The hubby and … Continue reading This Day of Celebration!
Life Beyond the Grave (Day 47)
This is supposed to be my last day of “no dairy, no sugar” fast for the month of March which I extended until Easter: Resurrection Sunday, April 17, 2022. I am a bit disappointed for it to come to an end because I do not want to fall back into old habits in thinking or … Continue reading Life Beyond the Grave (Day 47)
“Lord, open our eyes that we may see” (Day 36)
The news hit me like a ton of bricks! How could anything good come from it? But just as soon as my thoughts started to go down the wrong road of “what if’s,” I immediately turned to the Lord asking for spiritual wisdom, and to give me eyes to see just as Elisha prayed for … Continue reading “Lord, open our eyes that we may see” (Day 36)
PRICELESS! IRREPLACEABLE!
As we toured Washington D.C. with all the rich history throughout, the Smithsonian Institute held a most captivating piece: the Hope Diamond. According to the Smithsonian Institute, the Hope Diamond is priceless because it is irreplaceable. In April of 2015, I began writing on the Scarlett Road recording reflections in order to let my “little” … Continue reading PRICELESS! IRREPLACEABLE!
Immanuel; It’s no accident: The Lord is with us!
Eight days ago, an accident changed our plans! We planned to spend Christmas in Louisiana with my side of the family. We were due to leave two days after the accident occurred. Many things this year did not transpire as we had planned or even had hoped. Two of our children had surgery, unexpectedly. Our … Continue reading Immanuel; It’s no accident: The Lord is with us!
The “Scarlett” Letter
On October 28, 1980, I received the letter. It was folded several times and pinned to the bulletin board hanging outside my dorm room. I quickly noticed it had been written at 3 in the morning because not only was the date scribbled down but also the time of writing. The writer actually jotted out … Continue reading The “Scarlett” Letter
Walking into A New Year (from 2018)
How do “YOU” walk into a New Year, with thoughts of “I Can’t Do It” or “Ready, Set, Go Shine”? I believe we need to be equipped with a well charged battery pack. The first battery being the “One Day at a Time” amount, and the second, “Casting our Cares on Him” dimension. But we … Continue reading Walking into A New Year (from 2018)
