Twice this last week when I was questioning the LORD about a certain topic, a song lyric came to my mind. When I say questioning - it's just what I do with the LORD sometimes...in prayer, I ask Him why, or when, or how some *thing* is going to work out - I felt kind of like I was asking the 5 W's: the who, what, when, where, and why.

Beauty in dying. Yes, there is beauty in dying. The ... Read More about Finding Beauty in Every Face & Place – A grain of wheat

Lora’s Marinara Sauce
Wasn't I just talking about putting dates on my recipes last week? Well, this original Lora recipe is dated...12-1-1995 and it looks like it has been around that long! The piece of paper I penned it on has splashes of tomatoes and sauce all over it like any good recipe would. Back when we lived in the Carolinas I created this recipe to make sauce with the oodles of tomatoes we would have delivered by "Walter" long before delivery services were the rage. Now, for those who are new here, ... Read More about Lora’s Marinara Sauce
