Care for Creation - Book Review

Even though I am not an employee of a private or public school system, I still consider myself a teacher! As a matter of fact, sometimes I question if I missed my calling (and am quickly reminded that God has a plan and I am right where I'm suppose to be). I once heard Beth Moore say that if you read/learn something and just HAVE TO TELL SOMEONE - you're a teacher (and I feel that way all the time!).

I am the proud mother of two young ladies in middle school, lead a small group of 5th Grade students on Sunday mornings at my Church, co-lead a middle school girl's small group every other week and have lead/worked with various other children/teens of all ages on various topics. I LOVE TO LEARN and will never stop!

This book has creatively put Scipture references with text to help each one of us realize we are called by God to save our planet! Children learn to protect the environment and respect nature through recycling, home energy conservation and neighborhood clean-ups.

Advent Devotional 2010

I received the most amazing gift in the mail - an Advent Devotional from the Western Mission Cluster c/o Luther Seminary in Saint Paul, Minnesota.

I thought I would share it with you over the coming season - posting the Scripture messages they provided from November 28th through Christmas Day - December 25th.

I pray you remember Christ this Christmas and share HIS love with others!

Thanksgiving 2010

ONE of the new family members....

Meet our new guinea pig, Stella! Thank you Paige - we LOVE her!

Thanksgiving Day-on Thursday!

I never thought about the fact that Thanksgiving is always celebrated on Thursday! What a hoot that I picked Thursday to post my "thankful posts"; praise God for His Spirit-He must be the one that orchestrated that!

My family will be spending the day with my husband's ENTIRE family! I am so blessed to have them in my life - there was a year when the only family I had was my amazing son. If you have ever been lonely, you know there is nothing worse than knowing no one on this earth cares about you. Although, I'm certain I had numerous friends, family is something very precious! Nothing else quite measures up. Now, I have many, many family members; I am so blessed!

We will be celebrating at The Lunch Bell (and I can't wait!) - which means NO WORK/NO CLEAN UP! My generous in-laws invited all of us. If you are not from our area, you may not know the Swain family (owners/operators of this fine establishment). Well, let me just say that CHURCH women can cook and bake - and this lady HAS IT GOING ON! I LOVE everything I have ever eaten that she has prepared!

I will be taking pictures and posting soon...I wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving! Remember to thank THE ONE who gave it to you!

Thanksgiving Thankful....

These are my "Walls of Fame" at work....I'm so blessed (and thankful)!

We had to do it..the insurance company totaled my car!
