I submitted this editorial/column to my local newspaper. I have no idea if they'll publish it, but I thought I would share it here. Of San Bernardino and Switchblades... The horrific terrorist attack in San Bernardino has the Left clamoring for more gun control, despite the fact that most of...

How about some banana crepes? Or a couple of my famous pies?

Today, I'm thankful for my dog -- he's a sweetie pie!

Hi All, Each year, I encourage everyone to celebrate a month of thankfulness leading up to Thanksgiving. Please start tomorrow to post something you're thankful for each day. It's amazing how it changes your life to start growing that "attitude of gratitude!" So let's start tomorrow!

Did you ever notice that when you catch someone in a lie, they immediately turn it on you, that somehow you're the one perpetuating the problem somehow? I hate when that happens...

Glad to see Utley got the suspension (in my opinion, he should be out for the rest of the series!), but the other element of this story that's being completely missed by seemingly everyone is that he was OUT at second. The Dodgers challenged that Tejada didn't tag second, and clearly he didn't...

It's seems like I've been moving forever, but I think I'm FINALLY placed for a very long time (we bought a house this time!). But I hate that I can visit only one church a week. I'd like to find my church home and get settled and start serving in some type of ministry, but the process can take...

After we recently moved, I was checking out my piano to make sure it made the move well. Unfortunately, about 1/3 of the keys were raised and their corresponding hammers were pulled back and when I tried to press the keys, the notes would not play. I was devastated! This is the piano I grew up...

With all the bad news out there lately, I was thinking of the final two verses of "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day." Please reflect with me: And in despair, I bowed my head, "There is no peace on earth," I said, "For hate is strong and mocks the song of 'Peace on Earth, Good-Will to Men.'"...

Within the past 8 months, two of my nieces have gotten married -- and I wasn't invited to either wedding. These two ladies are my sister's daughters, and my sister has poisoned them against me because she doesn't like my husband. My sister, who professes to be a Christian, says she could never...

To be honest, I've not read much by Joyce Meyer. She never struck me as genuine, but when I saw this quote "shared" on my cousin's facebook page, I realized how false her teaching is. "The amount of mercy you give other people is the amount of mercy that's going to come back to you. There's a...

Did anyone else see the interview? My husband (who, btw, is NOT a fan of 19 Kids and Counting) and I both thought it was very well done. We see that the Duggars did exactly what they should have done and were exemplary parents under these circumstances. The real crime here is how they sealed...

I love my husband. I really do. He's a great guy and a godly man. But if he asks me just ONE MORE TIME what's for supper tonight, I'm gonna bop him one good. Gimme just a little space, will ya? Oy. Okay, I feel better now.

And some more from the estate we used to tend.

Well, I got tons of photos from the estate I used to work on! First, the main flower garden...

Mother's Day: It rolls around once a year, and pastors feel obliged to set aside their sermon series to spend a Sunday praising motherhood. How is this biblical? Certainly, teaching women about godly motherhood is not a bad thing and is commanded of older women to teach younger women. But I...

Has anyone else here been subtly (or not so subtly) told that they are not welcome at a church? I differed with the pastor in philosophy of worship, and basically, in so many words, he said, "sayonara." Guess he couldn't take someone actually wanting an intellectual discourse on worship. So I...
