We Could Use Some Prayer

Well, oddly enough, right after I posted that last post about my daughter Abby last week, she got sick. And I mean she’s been pretty sick. The kind of sick that makes a mama worry and lose sleep and do a lot of praying for things like health and wisdom and stamina and peace. So that’s why I’ve not been… Read More

Especially once you get past 10.  True to our math teachers’ words we really do use multiplication most every day, whether we’re cooking, purchasing things, sewing, doing simple accounting, figuring out mileage, or worrying. That’s right, I said… Read More
