The Pink Couch–Disciplining Your Children

The Pink Couch--Disciplining Your Children
[tentblogger-youtube IODeqzoFHUU]  We've raised five amazing daughters in the past 30 years. They're a huge spiritual blessing, I can't even tell you how much! The hardest part of raising kids is often the discipline part.   Most of our discipline took place on The Pink Couch in the living room. I want you to meet our  five daughters (on the pink couch!)as they talk a[...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Preparing for Easter- Family Devotions

Preparing for Easter- Family Devotions
This is my favorite time of year- the days leading up to Easter.  It’s such a sacred time.  Thousands of Christians around the world are preparing their heart for our Lord and Savior’s Resurrection Day celebration.  Many of you have already started nightly devotions with your family.  If you haven’t it’s not too late.  Start this week! When our children were gr[...]

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[...]

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[...]
