Happy July, friends! And Happy Scripture Memory Team Day! The truth of Psalm 103:12 is the best news: “As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.”That's amazing how far He has removed our transgressions/sins/wrongdoings from us! I think how far I traveled to Wales for my trip in May - an ocean plus away, which seemed a very long way; but the truth is, I could still get back there. But the Lord, He doesn’t move our wrongs to our doorstep or out to ... Read More about Scripture Memory Team 2024 – Verse 7
Scripture Memory Team 2024 – Verse 6
Happy June and happy Scripture Memory Team day! Yes, I’m still on my travels (and would so appreciate your prayers for a safe journey home); but prepared before jetting out for this day.

Fifteen Minutes Sunday Night Meal Prep Version
The Little Miss had 15 minutes to visit and I welcomed her sunshiney self in to a kitchen brimming with Sunday evening meal prep for the week.
