I prayed for Lee when I went to bed last night.
Except I prayed for him as Lee! You may remember that’s not his name.
If anyone should know his name it should be me right?
I giggled when I realized what I had done and decided that God knows who he is no matter how I [...]

Have any of you seen this yet? What did you think?
It looks like there aren’t any theaters around here showing it! I’m going to see if Lee is willing to drive a bit to see it. It looks so good.
(I have no clue why it’s so faaar down the post. I don’t see anything I [...]

Thank you for joining us! I planned to do a super job with all my favorite Charlotte Mason quotes, but I had no internet access for 6 days and the carnival is due. So please forgive my plain and simple carnival.
What excellent reading awaits you. I’ve found homeschool carnivals to be a wealth of information [...]

I have so much to catch up on and will probably fail to do so!
I saw this meme at Stray Thoughts when I was just quickly checking in at the library. It sounded fun, so here goes.

The Weather Channel (Seriously!), Football, or Nascar

I have no internet for a couple days. I changed phone and internet providers. They forgot to tell me that the phone switch was today and the internet will be next week!
I swung by the library to tie up a few online things today, but I doubt I’ll stop there everyday.
So! I’ll be back soon. [...]

I’ve been reading Debbie Macomber’s Knit Together.
It’s a great book about goals, trusting the Lord, and inspiration. She throws in lots of knitting stories which is right up my alley!
One very cute story was about her grandson.
He lined up all his Army men in the sandbox. He had designed his own battle plans. He came [...]

In this post, I shared from Dr. Jeremiah’s book about worshipping when life is dark.
Here are the steps I said I would share.
He says,
When you find yourself sunk deep in doubt, and God no longer seems real to you, take these steps.
1. Admit the doubt you’ve been feeling. Don’t try to tough it out. Find [...]

“Your great difficulty may just be the black velvet against which the diamond of God’s grace is displayed.”

Tonight after church, we were cleaning up around the house. James was getting his pajamas on and I heard a huge bang near his room.
I went to investigate only to realize that someone was banging on our front door.
I saw a police car parked in front of our house. It was definitely an officer at [...]

Lee needed new steel toed boots for work. He was making due with his old boots from several years ago but they were worn out.
He found out that his job will pay $40 once a year toward new workboots! So we found a nice leather pair at a shoe store on sale for 1/2 price–they [...]
