Storage of Winter Vegetables

Storage of Winter Vegetables
I love the fact that vegetables can keep the entire winter in a root cellar. That is, if they are taken care of properly. Now, just to let you know, I didn't grow all of these vegetables. We have grown all of them at one time or another on our farm. Our problem the last two years has been our stinking ground hogs. They love to eat the garden.  They especially l[...]

My One Word

My One Word
After reading the book, My One Word by Michael Ashcraft and (my friend) Rachel Olsen, I’ve decided that my one word for this year is; Love. This year, I’m going to be more intentional in my time with God to focus on- love. I want to burn with love for Jesus.  I want to cross over into the next level of glory in loving Him the way He loves me.  I want to love Hi[...]

After School Valentine's Day Cookies
Children will always remember coming home  to the smell of cookies baking when they grow up. Memories like those are cherished and passed on for generations.  These are as delicious as they smell.  They ooze gooey yummy chocolate, if you don't bake them all the way. They're especially good to have ready on Valentine's Day when your kids come home from school. It's a h[...]

The Depth of Intimacy– Pure and Indescribable

The Depth of Intimacy-- Pure and Indescribable
  Intimacy. Hmm… After 32 years of marriage, I still blush talking about it!  It is so private and sacred! No expression of human communion is deeper than that of a husband and wife making love. It borders on supernatural in expression.  The sensory goes beyond flesh into spiritual depths that are indescribable. It took me a while to fully underst[...]

Love Potion

Love Potion
  A lot of women who read The Good Wife Recipe assumed that marriage had always come easy for me. It hasn't always been easy. My dad left our family when I was young, so I lacked the example of a godly marriage. Being the oldest child, I was very independent. Those two factors added together equaled a negative value in my tendencies toward marriage. My [...]
