It's the 15th of the month and time for our second Scripture for our Scripture Memory Team of 2021! WooHoo! I am so excited! Before I share my new verse, I am going to type my first verse from memory: "Therefore, encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing." 1 Thessalonians 5:11 I did it! I may have recited it yesterday to a friend who asked about the temporary verse tattoo I have on my hand and then, I recited it to her again today! Thanks Ashley for ...

Sitting and soaking in the Sonshine
While recovering from surgery two years ago, Victoria helped me to a cozy chair and she sat with me flanking the other side of our big open fireplace. The flame crackled between us as I cuddled my favorite blanket. I remember just looking at Victoria and drinking in the fact that we were just sitting there together. She must've felt my motherly gaze because she looked up and smiled back. The marvel of the Lord's timing in moving her home two days before my surgery...I couldn't have planned it ...

Hydration Challenge
So we are in the first 6 days of taking a step towards our health with a Hydration Challenge and the handle fell off my water pitcher yesterday! Yes, I had just grabbed it out of the dishwasher and filled it to my daily mark for half my body weight in water and was pouring two cups in the blender to make sugar-free lemonade, when I got my second shower of the day. The Salesman walked through the waterpark/kitchen on the way to work, saw the handle and water EVERYWHERE and made some comment ... Read More about Hydration Challenge
