I’m surrounded by voices inside and outside of my head. You are too. Sometimes it gets so noisy, the roars of discord make me want to just give up. I bet you’ve felt that way too. These voices just about drown a person who is attempting to doggy paddle to shore, because they can’t seem to get there for the … Read More
Immanuel: Born Into Our World{s}
My favorite past time in the whole world is traveling. While I do believe it’s a small world after all, it’s also a very intricate globe that spins on the axis of time. Like a microchip in a computer holds so much information, so Planet Earth does in the Universe. When I can’t travel myself, I enjoy living vicariously through … Read More
Sausage Soufflé
Every Christmas my family has one staple meal tradition: Sausage Soufflé. This breakfast casserole has been a smash hit since before I was even born. My mom got the recipe from someone’s bridal brunch. She has told us many a time that this is her very favorite meal ever. I don’t blame her. It really is the best breakfast casserole … Read More
Gingerbread Boys and Girls
Do you have a teacher or two (or 10!) that just really stick out in your memory as sweet encouragers? I do. And to be honest, my list goes all the way back to my Pre-School days. It’s probably remarkable that I have such vivid memories from Pre-School, but I do. I absolutely loved it. I went to a great … Read More
Gingerbread Milk Shakes
OK, you guys. I seriously love the Gingerbread recipe I acquired from my Pre-School teacher, Mrs. Lucy. It is the best one out there! I really hope that you’ll try them by themselves. But, I also hope that you’ll try them in milkshake form! The same year that my husband and I started bouncing out all our fun Christmas beverages … Read More
People Just Don’t Get It. But Immanuel Does.
Ever have one of those flustered days, weeks, months, years, or even what seems to be a life time of harried moments strung together by frayed nerves? Maybe it’s just me, but when I get in a tizzy, it often feels like no one “gets” why. Sometimes it’s unreasonable to expect people to be sensitive because they have no idea … Read More
A Lesson From Man’s Best Friend: We Wait In Hope
My dog, Oscar, is awesome. He really is the best dog that God ever created. Really. He is. In fact, sometimes, I have a suspicion that he’s part human. Just kidding. (Sort of). He’s just so full of personality. You’d really have to know him in order to believe me as to how wonderful he is. But, I have to … Read More
The Picture Perfect Prozac Thanksgiving
There’s a little cartoon going around Pinterest and Facebook that has me laughing out loud every time I see it. I bet you can relate just as I can if your holidays are anything like the ones our family has… I got to thinking about holidays past and present when it might have been nice to have had … Read More
Chocolate Hazelnut Truffle Cookies
The summer before my Junior year of high school, I served as a steward for the Billy Graham Congress in Amsterdam. It was a huge training event for Pastors, Evangelists, Teachers, and Missionaries from all over the world. I remember meeting people who had traveled from various parts of Africa, Moldova, Canada, Ecuador, and more. My volunteer jobs included everything … Read More
World’s Best Apple Pie
Now, I love chocolate as much as any other red blooded American female. But, I have to tell you, there is something that beats out even the most delicious of chocolate desserts. Yes, my friends, it’s true. Apple Pie is what does it for me. Not just any apple pie, though. No, no. It has to be truly spectacular … Read More
