Have you ever thought about all the animals and plants God has given us to eat? Some of those are considered delicacies like shrimp. There are many ways to cook shrimp. Thankfully, we can buy them already beheaded and deveined. I have fond memories of eating a plateful of peal-and-eat boiled shrimp with my Daddy.… Continue reading Shrimp
Battling
When we are raising our kids, we often hear the phrase ‘pick your battles,’ and I have to admit I’ve said it a lot in the past. Sometimes, though, we cannot pick our battles. Either with kids, our job, our health, and so much more, there comes a time when we have to fight. Thankfully,… Continue reading Battling
Hold Her
Heard this song yesterday. Made me think of my daughters and how I feel each time they leave my house. You can use it for whomever it makes you think!
Silence
When we first moved to our farm on New Year’s Day this year, there were a lot of things we had to get used to. A big one is the silence especially at night. The house we moved from was very close to interstate 24 in Nashville where we heard cars and semi trucks day… Continue reading Silence
Land of the Lost
When I was growing up, we loved Saturday morning cartoons and TV shows. One of the ones I loved to watch was Land of the Lost. Yes, if you look at it now, you’ll see how bad the special effects are and how impossible the story line is, but I have fond memories of Marshall,… Continue reading Land of the Lost
Give It
I have a few things I really treasure…gifts given to me, heirlooms passed down, other things I love. I also have people I treasure…family and friends. In John 12 Mary anoints Jesus’s feet with perfume considered her treasure because it was worth a year’s salary. After she puts it on His feet, she wipes them… Continue reading Give It
Amen
Psalm 148 Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord from the heavens; praise him in the heights above. Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his heavenly hosts. Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all you shining stars. Praise him, you highest heavens and you waters above the skies. Let them praise the name of the Lord, for at his command they were created, and he established them for ever… Continue reading Amen
As Good As It Gets
So many people have constant hard times. One right after the other. I don’t know why except I’ve heard it said if you’re trying to live like God wants you to, satan attacks harder. There’s a movie I really like called As Good As It Gets. Perhaps you’ve seen it. There are two scenes in… Continue reading As Good As It Gets
Break It
Many of us have experienced broken bones in the past playing sports, falling down, and in other ways. It can be very painful and a long recovery with surgery needed in some cases. Often in preparing our minds for taking communion in worship, Luke 22 is read reminding us Jesus took the bread and cup… Continue reading Break It
The Table
Growing up at every holiday get together, I can remember sitting at the ‘kid’s table.’ Perhaps you did also, and even now you have one for your kids or grandkids. It makes us feel like kids, and we strain to hear what’s being said at the ‘adult’ table. When we moved to the farm, one… Continue reading The Table
