A Mama Lioness

06/18/2012 Family life, Raising children, Uncategorized

Our youngest daughter Ellie recently called me a “Mama Lion.” Instinctively, I wanted to roar loudly claiming the title! A mama lioness will do anything to protect her cubs! She is bold, courageous and valiant on behalf of her cubs. I’m sure the reason she said it was because of what we recently required from a young man who had come to our house t[...]

The Year We Lived in…The Shed

06/12/2012 Hospitality, Spiritual Life, Walking in the Spirit

A year ago today, we moved back into our house after living in an old shed for a year. The shed wasn’t livable by American standards. It didn’t have a stove to cook on, a kitchen sink, cabinets for dishes, heat for the winter, insulation to protect from extreme temperatures, a washer or dryer, nor a closet to hold our clothes. It was literally an old one roo[...]

A lot happened in less than a day's time. We had been in a wreck. Dale died and came back to life. We went to the hospital and there made a connection with someone, resulting in funding being provided to serve 5000 people in South Sudan. And before the day was over, while Dale was at the hospital, he was healed. It was December 26th. We were headed home from ce[...]

Preserved Lemons

05/29/2012 Recipes, Uncategorized

I cannot live without preserved lemons, some of my all time favorite Moroccan dishes have preserved lemons in them. When these lemons are covered and kept in the refrigerator, they will last up to 6 months. This recipe is from Sally Fallon's book, Nourishing Traditions. I tripled the recipe in the photo's below. Preserved Lemons 5 organic lemons 3 tabl[...]

Making Sauerkraut

05/28/2012 Nutrition, Recipes, Uncategorized

Temperature is key in making Sauerkraut or any fermented food. Ideal temperature in your house would be 75- 85 degrees. That means night time low-75. The key is you don’t want to go under 75 degrees or you’ll mess up the fermentation. I try to make most of my fermented foods in the fall and spring when temperatures are ideal. But you can find success if your[...]

Acts Chapter 2 Supper

05/22/2012 Hospitality, Prayer & meditation, Spiritual Life, Walking in the Spirit

The kitchen was hot from cooking our meal for supper. I opened the windows to let a breeze flow onto us while we sat at the table, ate, and listened to “God-stories” for hours. Oh my goodness, I felt like we were outside of time in one of those early church meetings in the book of Acts. Each person (there were 8 of us) giving testimony to the power of [...]

The 30 Day Journey to Power

05/16/2012 Prayer & meditation, Spiritual Life, Studying the Bible, the Word of God, Walking in the Spirit

I got the most amazing gift in the mail. It was from a woman who was at a conference that I spoke at a little over a month ago. I had challenged the audience to read every day for a month: Ephesians 1 and 3 and John 17: 20-26, Jesus’ last will and testament. This woman DID it. She then journaled the experience and sent me her journal. She had also t[...]

Best Cucumber Salad

05/15/2012 Recipes

This is the most refreshing cucumber salad. It hits the spot when it's hot outside. Even though it will last for up to two weeks in the refrigerator, it won't stay there that long. It will be eaten. You can add feta cheese or tomatoes to it when you serve it, just don't add it to the jar. This will be a summer staple for you you. Two Week Cucumber Salad ([...]

Seedlings, Fertile Soil, and the Harvest

05/10/2012 Raising children, Window Gardening

The temperature, humidity, and sunshine in the house were just right for growth to start. Now the sprouts stand to attention, just waiting for rich soil to burrow their roots into for the growing season. Cultivating a garden is hard work, but I love seeing a seed sprout into a full blown plant and then become a produce machine. There’s nothing like bringing i[...]

The Adventure of Getting

The Adventure of Getting <br>the Milking Goat

Typically before a trip, I look at the map and calculate the entire adventure ahead of time. This time we had been too busy and the morning we were leaving the internet was down, so I couldn’t “Map-Quest” the directions. Our ultimate purpose for the trip was to pick up a milking goat and 20 laying chickens. Since we rented a U-Haul van for the trip we thought we mig[...]

How Will We Be Remembered?

04/29/2012 Family life, Marriage, Raising children, Relationships

Memory keeps volumes stored in hidden vaults, just waiting for something to jar its door and all the contents resuscitated. It’s pretty entertaining hearing your grown children, gathered around the table, telling their favorite childhood memories. I’ve forgotten a lot of things that they remember, and boy, they sure remember it all. It seems as though they can rec[...]
