Camoflaged Paganism

2012-10-18T20:02:00.000-04:00

I have been wanting to write a blog on this for a while, and after seeing many post on facebook or hearing everyones opinions on Halloween I thought what better time to write a blog on Camoflaged Paganism. Below you will read things that will be completely shocking and new. I'm not writing this to condemn or critisize anyone. I just want to share some things I have studied off and on

My First Attempt at Canning!

2011-09-16T20:19:00.000-04:00

I'm realizing that I have a pattern each year of learning a new homemaking skill or craft. In the past I have attempted to sew (that did not go so well) have done card making, scrapbooking, homemade soap, cake decorating, and now canning! I recently found an interest in canning because their has been such a rage over couponing, I thought, well, if I can get a deal on fruits

Homeschooling Day 1

2011-08-22T22:45:00.000-04:00

I have to admit I have been a little nervous stepping into home education this school year. During the previous school year God had been preparing our heart as a couple toward the idea of home education. It's not an easy decision considering we are stepping away from a great Private school! I believe and have faith though, that at this time, this is what God has for our family. As a mom

Looking For Cookies Elsewhere!

2011-08-12T17:32:00.000-04:00

I do not mean in any way to offend anybody with this post. This information was shared and I feel as a mom of a 10 year old and 5 year old daughter it is my duty as a christian to share this information with whomever is willing to listen. For the past couple of years we have chosen as a family to not support the Girl Scout cookie sales because of the controversy of lesbian leaders

Jellybean Prayer

The Jelly Bean Prayer RED is for the blood He gave. GREEN is for the grass He made. YELLOW is for the sun so bright. ORANGE is for the edge of night. BLACK is for the sins we made.

USHERing in the BIEBER deception!

2011-04-07T16:45:00.000-04:00

The topic of this blog has been laying heavy on my heart for quite a while. I have put much thought and research before posting this. In no way do I want to come across as being more spiritual/better than anyone! I now have a ten year old daughter, and this issue has just began to affect and make it's move into our family during the past year. So here it is, my blog today is on the cultural

Celebrating St. Patricks Day!

2011-03-18T16:39:00.000-04:00

According to legend, the leprechaun has a pot of gold hidden somewhere, and he must give up his treasure to the one who catches him. You'll have to step lively and think quickly to capture a leprechaun's gold though, because this sly little fellow will fool you into looking away an instant while he escapes into the forest. I decorated the house in a big mess and told the kids while I was away

How They Quickly Grow!!!

2011-02-24T14:37:00.000-05:00

I was recently going through one of my filing cabinets when I found a folder filled with my kids school keepsakes. I started to have flashbacks of when they were little babies throughout their preschool years. I just wanted to challenge all you moms with new babies or veteran moms to stop for a moment and just love on your babies. Tell them you love them because they grow up so quickly!

Good Stewards!

Something I have just recently been thinking about is how we take care of "things" in our possession. In the 1900's people back then truly had to make due with what they had. What they did have they probably made or built themselves.They took good care of what they had because they had very little so they cherished it. They passed things down from child to child. They were just simply better

JEHOVAH-JIREH “And Abraham galled the name of that place Jehovah-Jireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the Lord it shall be seen.” — Genesis 22:14.

God gave us this name While listening to our pastor one Sunday evening. During this time

10 Things That Bug Me!!!

2010-11-06T18:57:00.000-04:00

1. When my dog Raven dashes out the door and roams the neighborhood or breaks free off her chain. 2. When my husband brings home things that clutter the house. 3. Finding toothpaste spots on the sink and bathroom mirror. 4. When I lay my 5 month old down to play while I try to get 1 thing done around the house. My kids decide to come huddle over him, kiss him, touch his head and annoy him

I just recently discovered Darcy's site at SwapMamas.com. She was the typical mother that when she became pregnant many friends and family began to pass maternity clothes her way. Several months later those same friends began to pass baby clothes her way that their babies grew out of and the cycle continued. Although her friends live in different states it still beat buying new.

Pumpkin Patch Gospel

2010-10-25T22:29:00.000-04:00

Every year I use a pumpkin to illustrate how through Christ we can become a new person and shine his light through our lives. Kids seem to grasp a concept more when you use an object. Every year around Halloween we get a real pumpkin. As you cut the pumpkin open and pull the "yucky" pulp out, tell how this is a picture of how God takes us and cleanses us from all our sin - casting them as

The Importance of Family Traditions and Consistency

2010-10-20T17:27:00.000-04:00

Lately I have been thinking about the value of traditions and consistency in our childrens lives. Most of us have one or more family traditions. They could be annually,monthly or even daily. In America we celebrate Independence day with fireworks and cookouts with our family and friends. In my family we have set aside Tuesday ,for the time being, as our “family devotional night”. Family

How valued are children in our world today? We give charitable contributions towards orphaned or under privileged children during the holiday season. We goo and ga over a newborn baby, we may even stand against anyone who may mistreat or injure a child. Do we really like having them around? Here are some scenarios I have encountered myself or have witnessed. Scenario 1 Two people are making
