A new approach. I hope you like it.

Sometimes, new is good. I hope you’ll overlook the fact that I am reposting. I wanted to see what this looked like. Maybe I’ll post something like this every end-of-month, so in case you didn’t read a post, they are all in one place.

So, what do you think?

Besides, trying something new is good, right? And considering it’s the end of the month, it works out well.

Plus, I like being able to see my posts this way as well. It’s been two months of reflection and sorting things out. Mental health, identifying the truly important, and relationships. Some pretty heady subjects. But what else is there to do in these two dark, cold months?

Now, I contend with this Afib diagnosis. I’m having a hard time adjusting to the medications. But I try to see things in perspective. It’s not terminal. It’s treatable. Perspective certainly helps. Besides, I’m an overcomer in Christ.

I hope you have a great weekend and blessings to each of you.

    How long should we pray?

    That is such a great question. Do you know why? I think it’s a great question because it’s a question everyone wants to ask but no one does. I mean, “Have you ever asked someone how long they pray?” Has anyone ever asked you? We don’t ask because it’s a rude question. And we shouldn’t ask… Read more

    A wonderful thought

    Hubby and I are at our cabin. Can’t wait to show you pictures of our new bedroom. It’s coming along and just kind of “coming together” without much over-analyzing. We took a long drive yesterday and stopped at a cute coffee shop for lunch in a quant little town. It was the best BLT I’ve… Read more

    My new pantry DIY

    My pantry used to be a tiny bathroom. When we completed the roughed-in addition, I knew I wanted this room for my pantry. It’s not that I don’t have a lot of cupboards but they’re all too high for me to use. I do not understand the current craze to have cupboards that go to the… Read more

  • Sally Lunn bread. Have you tried it?

    Have you ever heard of Sally Lunn bread? It’s an old recipe that uses yeast but requires no kneading. That’s a win-win in my book. I love baking bread and even though I have a bread machine, I don’t use it often. Here’s some information about the origins of Sally Lunn bread. I checked out… Read more

You can make these using any chargers you have; even the plastic ones from the Dollar Tree will work. I’ve revamped… Read more
