“Our Father in heaven, holy is Your name….forgive us our sins, as we also have forgiven those who have sinned against us…” Matthew 6 “And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.” Mark 11 Forgiveness is powerful stuff. With […]

I’m a little late with MMoM this week…. we had a unique “plumbing emergency” Sunday (still unsolved). The handle to one of the bathtub faucets broke off. Replacing a bathtub handle is SUPPOSED to be a piece of cake, right? Well, remember, this house is 150+ years old, and the folks who lived here before […]

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walgreens for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Do you have any idea how expensive vitamins and nutritional supplements are?! Yeah, you do- I know you do. I was in the store several days ago, browing the shelves for probiotics and those effervescent “immune […]

I found the idea for this post topic from my friend Karen, who regularly does it. I like her posts so I figured I’d give the idea a try. I found out that age has not helped me overcome heat intolerance. When I was a kid, I would nearly faint from the intense summer heat […]

Sing, O heavens! Be joyful, O earth! And break out in singing, O mountains! For the Lord has comforted His people, and will have mercy on His afflicted. -Isaiah 49:13 Plains Milky Way from Randy Halverson on Vimeo. One of these days, I’m going to be on the other side, looking down. 😉

I love Mondays. I like the fresh start to the day, the schedule ahead of me. Today it is actually sunny in Upstate New York! The air smells so good, and the peonies are blooming. Ahhhh! 😀 Plus, it’s Meet Me on Monday day! Here are this week’s questions and answers. Questions: 1. What is […]

This one, Save Path, aggregates the best deal of the day and more from the major online coupon vendors: Groupon, Deal Find, Buy With Me, Town Hog, etc. Save Path is called “save path” because that’s what they do- […]

The boys were pretty excited to get a remote controlled helicopter in the mail! This model is the S107G Mini Gyro Remote Controlled Helicopter by Syma, sold by Xenon Project online. It’s got 3 channels, which is helpful to avoid radio interference (of which we have in our town). The toy costs about $25 (shipping […]

I never did well on tests in school. I passed them (well, most of them), but answers to tests always eluded me, especially multiple choice. I have this really weird propensity to “think outside the box.” Maybe it comes from growing up in a broken and sometimes violent home, always trying to look for alternative […]

I am surrounded by sneezers. They are everywhere. I’d read in my local news story that the pollen count was astronomical this year, and that poor folks with allergies were suffering like Job. But HOLY COW it seems like 85% of the population is sneezing, sniffling and leaving behind great clouds of soggy Kleenex in […]
