My husband left our Taste of Home magazine open to this page. I love coconut. He loves lemons. My girls love macaroons! We had to make these. We made them for our annual Woman of Worth Picnic. The recipe yields quite a view cookies, so we were able to keep a batch at home, too….
You were made for more!
You were made for more. God created you for a specific work. As you learn more and more how God works, you will learn how to do your work. (Colossians, Chapter 1) When your circumstances seem contrary to a work ordained by God and more like chaotic disaster, or mundane, rat race, it’s time to refocus and…
Prize Winning Watermelon Salsa
I have found the best cooking magazine! It’s called Taste of Home: Make and Take. Standing in the line at Home Depot it caught my eye and every page was an announced–“Oh Parish, we have to cook this recipe!” My love for the movie Julie and Julia (GREAT MOVIE–has a lot of scenes from France, which…
Have You Ever Tried to Walk on Water?

It goes something like this, “Always expect the worst, and you will never be disappointed.” We are afraid or have the “You are way too big for your britches” mentality.

Brand New Day

Jelly Toast
I grew up in an older home from infancy until about sixth grade. My years there were filled with warm summer nights with box fans in the windows, crickets serenading me to sleep, and a pretty pink canopy bed, with pink shag carpet. My yard had large oak trees, and one tree was well suited for…
The Writings of Charles Spurgeon Lifted Us!
He did it again. My prayer devotional book, FerVent, by Priscilla Shirer has connected me to other believers who read my blog and with strangers during the course of the day. Friday, while eating breakfast with my husband, my mom came over expressing her thoughts on the post about The Notebook. My father and mother took the…
The Notebook: A great expression of God’s love for us
Strategy 4, Your Family. By now you know I’m reading the book FerVent by Priscilla Shirer. The chapter on “Family” was familiar. I have three beautiful daughters, and I’ve been married for 27 years.
