How to rejoice when the car breaks down
When the unexpected happens, it is hard to rejoice. It is hard to be happy when you pull into a parking lot and discover that you have no steering. That is what happened to me today. But, Praise Yah, He helped me to rejoice in the middle of it. This morning, Doug had the great […]
Rubber boot homeschool week #2
This has been a very interesting week. We had to get through our bookwork by lunch every day, because the afternoons were full of other jobs that needed to be done. You saw last week that we slaughtered a sheep. Normally, we would do this on a Sunday, work hard for about six hours, and […]
Pop up pictures
We started school yesterday! I will post more about that later. Today I would like to share a cool little project we did tonight. Grandpa visited the other day with several pop up books in tow. This pop up concept was fascinating to my children. Thankfully, I was familiar with the basic construction, so we […]
Psalm 17:8
Psalm 17:8 “Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings.” I love finding word pictures in Scripture. Sometimes I have to dig a little into the Hebrew to find them. Sometimes they are right in front of me. This verse immediately makes me think of chickens. I […]

A sample
It occurred to me that I didn’t give very much info about what is actually in The Children’s Ketubbah Project. You can’t read my mind, so let me attempt to do that here. Below is one of the ketubbahs found in the book, written for daughters. There is also one for sons. There are other […]
Pen Benefits
So I wrote a book about parenting. I hope you all enjoy it. I’m sure you won’t agree about everything in it. And that’s okay, because I wrote it mostly for myself. Suddenly, I have changed my perspective as a mother. (Perhaps I want to make sure I’m doing my best so I don’t become […]
Thoughts on the Old Testament
I have been reading through the Bible in 90 days. I have never done this before, and I am awed by what I am seeing. YHVH preserved His truth and His people, even when they did very wicked things and left Him. He preserved their geneology, so they would know who they were when their […]
Any ideas?
I have a sore right “milk jug.” I’ve had infections before, and don’t want to spend my birthday tomorrow with one. I’m taking vitamin C and echinacea. Doug bought me a cabbage, because the leaves are supposed to be comforting. I have a feeling it is brought on by stress. I have a bunch of […]
