A Thanksgiving Tradition -The Children Dress like Pilgrims

A Thanksgiving Tradition -The Children Dress like Pilgrims
When the girls were young I used to dress them up like little pilgrims for Thanksgiving. They loved it until they got too big for it. By the time Ellie (our youngest) was old enough to be an adorable pilgrim, Heather protested and wouldn't be one anymore. So, I never got a picture of all five being pilgrims at one time (photos are from various years).   Each one g[...]

Movie Review – Joan of Arc 1948 with Ingrid Bergman – MUST SEE!

Movie Review - Joan of Arc 1948 with Ingrid Bergman - MUST SEE!
  I highly recommend Victor Fleming’s 1948 movie, Joan of Arc. It is amazingly powerful! As in any movie or book, you often find faults with some of the theology because of the writer's perception or  lack of understanding about it. The main actress, Bergman, and Fleming spared neither time nor expense in order to make the film historically accurate. Ex[...]

Sorcery, Mediums and Witchcraft

Sorcery, Mediums and Witchcraft
Standing at my door was a girl I had known since 1st grade. At 8 years-old she had a fascination with magic, mediums and consulting the dead in séances. As a child I had never heard what God thought about these things, it just wasn’t talked about in my church. I didn’t know for sure that it was wrong but I felt it wasn’t right and never participated in her lifestyle. [...]

The Farm Wedding/Reception-Preparations Commenced this Past Weekend
  Our 4th lovely daughter Rachael has never asked for much. She’s always been a hard worker, had a job in high school to help buy the things she wanted and has held jobs in-between college semesters. So, when she came to me and asked this vast question I didn’t know how to respond. “Mom, what’s the budget for my wedding?” I wanted to be able to say, [...]

Jonathan Proposed to Our Daughter, Rachael, in the Barn Saturday night
     From the time Dale and I knew we were pregnant with each of our five daughters, we started praying for their spouses. This past Saturday night, our fourth daughter Rachael was engaged to the man of her dreams and the one we had prayed for from the time we conceived her. Just a few months before we met him for the first time, I had taken a class on the [...]

A Love Story: Fairy Tales Do Come True – Part 1 of 3

A Love Story: Fairy Tales Do Come True - Part 1 of 3
Once upon a time, many years ago, there lived a young man who knelt to the ground every morning and prayed to the Lord for his bride-to-be. He asked Him to make her spirit strong, keep her pure, and to prepare her for the day he would finally meet her. One day, as the young man was working at his place of employment, his spirit quickened within him. As she spok[...]

Our Last Chick Flew the Coop

Our Last Chick Flew the Coop
Our last baby chick flew the coop this past weekend.   Dale and I haven't been without one of our girls at home for more than 2 days in almost 30 years.  We always wanted them with us.  We never took a trip without them.  Even if we went out to eat, we went together.  We were one.  I loved making hot breakfasts, talking in the kitchen, and tucking them in at the end o[...]
