All Things Home and Family
I noticed something yesterday. I took a pickup like this to town to do my grocery shopping instead ofThis. (These are just google images of the two vehicles.) Is it just me or do people notice vehicles? I don’t mind driving old, not-so-pretty vehicles as long as they get me from point… Continue reading Rainy Day Ramblings
This is true for watching nature, looking closely at a flower, or even tackling a clean-up job. The same is true for our relationship with our Savior. Our life- long perusal of His Word and our endeavor to live righteously in the Spirit constantly reveals His holiness and our unworthiness. Even in our worship… Continue reading The More You Look, The More You See.
Charlotte asked me this question.But I want to know, how did you do projects like that when your kiddos were small? Till I make sure my men are fed, have clean clothes, and habitable living quarters; there's not much time left for painting projects. Which makes me depressed, because it takes FOREVER to get one… Continue reading Projects and Messes
Well, there is snow in Wisconsin. Lots of it. Almost two weeks ago the children and I headed down to Nebraska and I blithely informed Elv that I was seeing the last of snow for this winter. How wrong I was! There was snowfall in Nebraska, too! I was going to come home to… Continue reading Perspectives

We went to Uncle Herman’s funeral today. There were around 600 people in attendance… two thirds of which were cousins or nieces and nephews of Uncle Herman. That is a lot of people in one place! (Cousins or not!) The singing was awesome. The Hersheys are good singers anyway, but put that many of them… Continue reading Funeral Reunion
Reading in Job this morning I found him bemoaning the lack of a Mediator. He mentioned not knowing when God was around and if he did happen to notice doubt would set in anyway. I think we women would have to agree that such thoughts are familiar. We are masters at doubting that God… Continue reading Real Smiles
This is a cheerful blue. I'm trying to feel it that way, too. But some days are hard to do. It should be a perfect quiet winter day wherein we can count our blessings by the score. But it isn't, for reasons of my own. Nothing about anyone else, so don't worry. I read Anita's… Continue reading Blue
Someone who knows told us that Christian women in Asia do not understand their special ness as a woman due to their culture and former religion. That was on Wednesday evening at an IGO presentation. Thursday a lady told me that women tend to think they are not worth as much as men per hour… Continue reading What Is Your Work Worth Per Hour?
This morning my dad called to say that they're taking Mom to a doctor in Sand Point today to see about her heart. She's been on my mind all day. Does she have blockages or is it just anxiety and stresses from agonizing over her children? Maybe we will know by this… Continue reading A Day In January
