A Legacy of Faith

A Legacy of Faith
This week Proverbs 31 Ministries is focusing on women who have left a faith legacy in our lives. As you read about a woman who has inspired me, think about who has left a legacy in your life and whether you are leaving a faith legacy behind by the way you live. The words we speak and the way we live can alter another person’s life for eternity. I’ll never fo[...]

The Good Wife Bridal Shower

The Good Wife Bridal Shower
We had a wonderful bridal shower this past weekend for Rachael(daughter). We had so much fun all together, I wish we could do it every weekend! Every time there's a wedding or bridal shower I think about how important wedding festivities have been throughout the centuries. Back in Jesus' time whole towns and villages would celebrate a marriage.  One of Jesus' first [...]

Eating Weeds for Your Health-Dandelion Fritters & Sautéed Dandelion Greens

Eating Weeds for Your Health-Dandelion Fritters & Sautéed Dandelion Greens
I started the week off by making Dandelion Fritters! Yep, with the weeds from our yard.  Dandelions are the most amazing plant ever and just to think people spray killer on them in their yards. Don't use yours if you've sprayed them!! The flowers, the greens and the roots are all medicinal. The flowers  taste a lot like zucchini blossoms, if you've ever had those.[...]

Coconut Cream Cake

Coconut Cream Cake
  My mom makes the best fresh coconut cake you've ever eaten in your life. She buys a  fresh coconut, uses the milk inside it and shreds up her own coconut. I could  eat the entire cake all by myself. She'll be shocked that I used organic dry coconut out of a bag, but I didn't have time to go get the real deal. Any time you use fresh coconut, you can't [...]

A Simple Family Passover (Seder) Supper

A Simple Family Passover (Seder) Supper
We celebrate the Passover (Seder) meal on Thursday or Friday evening before Easter.  We've made it simple so that it would never be too hard to do. A traditional Seder meal is long.  In celebrating this feast we are honoring a feast, instituted by God and celebrated by Jesus himself.  “Because Christ our Passover lamb has been sacrificed for us; therefore, let us [...]

The Supper Table

The Supper Table
Post written by our daughter Hannah Glasgow Easter. I took it off her blog today, enjoy! You can find her at http://hannaheaster.blogspot.com “It’s time to eat!!!” My mom would cry as she clanked the cowbell with her sturdy spoon. By the third time, she could start to make out the barefooted tornado of dirt, curls, and laughter migrating towards her. As hard as it [...]

St. Patrick’s Day–Powerful Story to Share over Traditional Irish Dinner

St. Patrick's Day--Powerful Story to Share over Traditional Irish Dinner
I think it's interesting that we rarely hear the story behind St. Patrick's Day.  St. Patrick went down in history as being a radical Christian.  He considered himself a pagan when he was growing up. It wasn't until he was sold into slavery by Irish slave traders that he came to Christ.  His relationship with the Lord grew while he was a slave.  After six years in[...]

The Living Easter basket is made with wheat grass, pansies and a vintage chick.  Easter baskets in the[...]

Why Should We Memorize Scripture?

Why Should We Memorize Scripture?
This past summer, good friends of ours were in a horrible car accident. Brandi was in a coma from head trauma. I witnessed the most amazing thing ever in those weeks we spent with their family in the intensive care unit. The doctor's prognosis wasn’t good.  No one knew if she would come out of the coma normal. The injury was horrible. The body of Christ filled the[...]

Thoughts after Watching The Bible

Our family snuggled up on the couch and watched The Bible last night.  We haven’t watched anything on TV in a long time, so it was fun.  I remember why I don’t like watching television; COMMERCIALS! Oh my goodness. . . Over all I enjoyed it and will watch it again next Sunday night. Some of the things I liked and didn’t like: I liked Abraham and Sarah.  They [...]

The Bible–Epic 10-Part Miniseries

The Bible--Epic 10-Part Miniseries
This Sunday night an epic 10-part miniseries retelling stories from Scripture entitled, The Bible will air on the History Channel. Roma Downy and her husband, Mark Burnett are the producers. Life Way, Focus on the Family, Rick Warren and CBN are just a few who are endorsing it. Of course I haven’t seen it, but it promises to be breathtaking in scope and scale. The[...]

Ten Invaluable Christian Books

Ten Invaluable Christian Books
A great book is invaluable. There are a few in my collection that I return to over and over and can’t imagine being without. These books are worth more to me than great grandma’s antique china! Do you know what I’m saying? If I had to depart with all my worldly goods and could only keep one thing it would be a stack of my favorite books. Monday night I was the [...]
