Sweet scents
Having shed the toddlers with Grandma and watched our husbands head out to the race track, my sister and I decided on one of those freer-spirit moments we’re good at. We decided this was a great time to try out some new scents at our local WalMart. Lots of sample...
The Bible: Betrothals Tweaked
Last week we began a discussion about the betrothal genre in the Bible with some basic guidelines laid out. Then we examined the first betrothal - that of Isaac and Rebekah - setting the conventions in place. The second betrothal is also found in Genesis but features...

Joy in the mud
I didn’t expect to get such a spirited free spirit as my youngest daughter grew. But she was the one who always saw things her way. For example, the dance in the mud puddle. We didn’t get rain much on our hobby farm but this soaker had left several large puddles in...
The Bible: the story
I once sat through a 16-hour class in two days and figured it would take plenty of caffeine to keep me awake. I was wrong. The professor sat on top of his desk and seemed to rabbit-trail into a story at every opportunity. He gave us conflict and resolution, drama and...
