This is just a little something that I need some input on. What we have here is an item I run across frequently at the grocery store. It always catches my eye, and then I always pick it up and have a little ponder about it. I’m still stumped.
It’s a squeezy packet that is located on the shelf with the pasta sauces. It sits all alone there, amidst the bottles and jars of bolognese and puttanesca. There are no other squeezy packets in sight. Just this little loner American One.
The thing that’s always tough for me with this specimen is not just the fact that it’s being chalked up to my country. It’s the ingredients list. You can’t read it in the picture, so allow me to report on what is in this little squeezy packet:
INGREDIENTS: 1) Organic Tomatoes; 2) Organic Pumpkins; 3) Organic Sweetcorn; 4) Organic Orange Juice; 5) Organic Lemon Juice; 6) Organic Garlic
That’s all.
Apparently what you’re supposed to do with this is boil up some noodles or rice or bake a potato. Slap it into a bowl, and then hand both the bowl and the squeezy packet to your your child. They then have the fun of unscrewing the Continue reading ‘Thoughts?’
Godly men get more riches out of their poverty than ever they get out of their revenues.
Godly men are better for an affliction; many godly men are worse for their prosperity.

I don’t know if you have ever heard of Cookie magazine (I hadn’t), but from all appearances it is a fun magazine about kids, kids’ clothes, food, travel, and general topics of interest for moms. I had to go to Hastings to find a copy, and you may wonder why I went to all this trouble. Because I’m a mom, and my daughter got one of her lovely Amoretti dresses featured on page 41 of Cookie magazine, the June and July issue. I wish I could post a link or something, but it’s in the magazine and not on the website. But her fun little Fancy Free dress is pictured with other dressy clothes for kids in a feature called “party hoppers” about what kids can wear to weddings. And it’s just darling. If you want to see my beautiful granddaughter Bel in the dress, you can go to the Amoretti website and see it here. But if you get a peak at a Cookie magazine, you’ll see someone else’s cute little granddaughter modeling the same adorable dress.
A couple more Rutherford quotes:
When we shall come home and enter to the possession of our Brother’s fair kingdom, and when our heads shall find the weight of the eternal crown of glory, and when we shall look back to pains and sufferings; then shall we see life and sorrow to be less than one step or stride from a prison to glory; and that our little inch of time-suffering is not worthy of our first night’s welcome home to heaven.
Lay all your loads and your weights by faith upon Christ. Ease yourself, and let Him bear all. He can, He does, He will bear you.
We have lived in our wonderful house for twelve years now. It took my husband and my son four years to build it, and it is still under construction in some ways. Just when we get one thing finished, something needs to be replaced! (Sort of like our sanctification….just when we’ve finally figured out one thing, something else goes to seed.)
We had boarders for nine years, a total of a dozen lovely college girls who were far away from home and needed shelter. Those were jolly years and I sometimes miss those gals, though most of them are still right here in town, some with children of their own now! But since they have moved out and on, we have room for other things. And sometimes those other things are our children and grandchildren.
This summer we will have new boarders. First in line is my son and his family of six. They Continue reading ‘Moving In’
