Corrie ten Boom pinpointed the truth about worry when she said:
The Truth About Worry
A Resolution Worth Keeping
“Prayer is the greatest of all forces, because it honors God and brings him into active aid.” ~E.M. Bounds~ A few weeks ago I found a treasure in my son’s school folder. Tucked in between math and phonics papers was his snowman art project, and on it, he had written his New Year’s resolution for […]
Erma Bombeck: When I Stand Before God
I first read Erma Bombeck’s humorous writings when I was in high school, and she instantly became a favorite for me. Of course, now that I’m a mom and a wife, I can relate to and giggle all the more at her writings. I’d love to share one of my all-time favorite quotes from her. […]
Miracles in the Garden

Fearless
Three years ago I read a book by Max Lucado called Fearless. Below is one of my favorite quotes from that book.
Gluten-Free Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies
I LOVE chocolate chip cookies! It’s my favorite cookie, for sure. Over the years, I’ve made batches upon batches of this beloved cookie using a recipe my mom gave me. But recently, I discovered that foods with gluten don’t settle all that well with me. And so I’ve steered clear of many baked goods, including […]
What the Past Is For
I love biographies. And I’m especially fascinated by true stories that portray ordinary people doing heroic things. Perhaps that is why one of my favorite biographies is The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom. I marvel at the courage and godliness that Corrie and her family showed in a dark time in our history. In […]
