Dinner, Prayer, & Betrayal
The day before Christ was crucified, a lot happened that had been predicted in scripture. First there was dinner. While eating Jesus told His disciples that one of them would betray Him(Matt 26:21). Jesus washed the disciples’ feet(John 13:3-11). Jesus told Peter that he would deny Him(John 13:36-38). Jesus instituted The Lord’s Supper(Luke 22:19-20). There… Continue reading

Playing in Dirt = Stress Relief
I’m definitely feeling accomplished for this vacation. I’ve got all my seedlings that were ready for transplant in pots and buckets. Working on getting the rest of my seedlings stronger for transplant. Hubs pulled out a bush that hadn’t started showing any signs of life pulled out of the front flower bed.

Parents Not Being Responsible

He has been charged with murder and will be charged as an adult. After questioning Colt’s father, Colin Gray was also charged… Continue reading

Elderly and no longer useful
Taking care of my elderly mother with Alzheimer’s has really opened my eyes to how we as a society are not caring for the elderly. Medicare sucks. Health care in this country is only about making money and and when you retire, life gets harder because the government can no longer get any money from… Continue reading
