10 New Year Predictions for 2011

Pin itI have this wonderful friend/mentor/amazing cook, named Barb.  You can (and should) find her at www.mysisterskitchenonline.com, cooking up homemade recipes with real food! Barb never ceases to bless me with her perspective, gained by a life devoted to Jesus and raising four sons.  You heard that right… F.O.U.R. (4).  Anyway, she posted a neat [...]

6 Pumpkin Posts: Carving, Devotions, Crafts, Birthdays, & PIES!

Pin itIt’s about that time of the year! Autumn? Oh, yes, but I prefer to call it “Pumpkin Season!”  Pumpkins are quite possibly one of the most ingenious fruits created by God. (Yes, the pumpkin technically is a FRUIT, not a vegetable). Pumpkins are great for everything from crafting to eating, so I’ve compiled the [...]

Prayer for Christian Bloggers at BlogHer Conference

She ended with the statement, “Maybe I’m doing something wrong.” I know that this friend does her [...]

On Eagle’s Wings

Pin itIsaiah 40 has always been one of my favorite Bible chapters for inspiration and comfort. (Besides being one of my all-time favorite Tenor Solos/Choral pieces of ALL time- “Comfort Ye My People, Messiah.”) I’m pretty sure anyone who has ever been in a church can quote Verse 31: but those who hope in the [...]

A New Kind of Blog Conference: Relevant 10

Devotion: How is Carving a Pumpkin Like Being a Christian?

Pin it I used to be completely against acknowledging anything about Halloween. When I learned the true origins based in Paganism, I was convinced that by joining in any of the traditions, I would be condoning paganism, and opening myself to demonic activity. (I do feel that, at this time in my life, I gave [...]
