Labor Day
Labor Day this year was probably one of the most relaxing we’ve had in a while. The Carlson family, who are dear friends, came over and we had a leisurely afternoon together, feasting together, spitting watermelon seeds, and thanking God for our blessings – including the perfect weather. While the men burned a tree that […]

Overdue Incentive
Chester County Library is holding an “Operation Katrina” day on September 8, 2005. “All fines and fees collected on this day will be sent to the American Red Cross for its hurricane relief efforts.” Overdue books are considered a crime (one of my dear friends received notice to appear in court to plead in the […]

Wedding Anniversary
Today is our 6th Wedding Anniversary. To celebrate, Tom and I went to a concert in Phily last night. Tonight, we took the kiddies out to dinner at the Longhorn Steakhouse – all of the manners-practice at cheap food joints paid off. They were very well behaved, making mommy and daddy quite proud. XXII When […]

Christian as Palace Guards
A question for God: If Christians have the same spirit, why do they disagree so much? I am really struggling with having patience with legalistic christians whose only joy comes from the delight in robbing it from others. I missed the part where holiness is defined by how loud one can gasp or by the […]

A Hug From God Through a Friend
Psalm 27:11-14 Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies. Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty. I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of […]

The Comforting Smell of Shaving Gel
Sarah-and-Tom/sarahtom2After Tom left for work this morning, I went about my morning facial routine: Dove, cold water, a dab of Lubriderm. I noticed that the bathroom smelled distinctly manly and wonderful. My husband was up early, had shaved, and gone to work to provide for us — not to mention that he thoughtfully cleaned the […]

Ken’s Salad Dressing Suggestion
They should have known better than to have a “suggestions” box 😉 — My note: The other day, I was preparing a salad to take on the go. I poured the Raspberry Walnut Vinaigrette into a little snack-size Ziplock bag, so that the salad wouldn’t become wilted enroute. I got to thinking – there aren’t […]

Acting is a Sin
Today, thanks to Netflix, I was watching Anne of Green Gables with the kids as I folded laundry. I love some of the lines from the movie. This is from the scene where Anne, Ruby and Diana are pretending that Anne is the Lily Maid from the Lady of Shalott. She closes her eyes and […]
