The Value of One

Today was very special for our family, as we witnessed Belle and Addy’s baptism! It was so exciting. Our pastor began by explaining to the visitors how baptism is only a symbol of the believer’s salvation and that in and of itself it cannot save anyone. Pastor Mowery allowed Daddy to baptize the girls and [...]

Last Saturday we had the church family over for a dinner of traditional Cuban food…roast pork, black beans and rice, fried plantains, and flan for dessert…oh, and Cuban expresso coffee.  I didn’t get any pictures, but Mrs. Campbell did. So here they are… Jon and Mr. Campbell. Neither were too eager to get their picture taken. In the [...]

While I was at Pastor’s house the other day teaching the girls piano, we were all discussing the TV shows we watched as kids. We don’t “have TV” now, but as a kid there was a few shows that I loved to watch. This morning (since it was Saturday morning? ) I felt like looking [...]

I think that my brothers are just the most awesomest guys in the world. Nick Jon Alex Joey Zachy-Poo I am so thankful for the awesome brothers the Lord’s given me. In the day of effeminate men and an alarming lack of true manhood, young men like my brothers who are becoming the true men [...]

Yes! Finally my very favorite jewelry designer has a website!!! Cilibeads–the most gorgeous jewelry I’ve ever seen is the result of the amazing jewelry-making talent of my dear friend Cilicia Huron.

It’s easy to lose contentment. Easy to lose focus, look around and despair. “There are SO many things that must happen!” Like Peter taking his eyes off Christ to the waves around him, it is so easy to take our eyes off of Christ and onto the circumstances around us. It was logically impossible for Peter [...]

Sorry I haven’t posted in a while…things have been very busy! Today a friend of mine’s getting married…I went with them to Silver Dollar City last year and I’m so excited that Jared and Annabeth are getting married! If I get any pictures I’ll try and post them. Have a lovely Saturday!

Yeah, I know. This week found us singing Christmas carols and suddenly wishing for Christmastime. Only 136 days till Christmas. I downloaded a Christmas countdown widget on my computer. Well, we made it to August this year, and we’re still holding Dad back from breaking out the Christmas movies. But even though it’s 98 degrees outside, [...]

After looking over what I’d like to start this summer (and reliving with the boys how much fun it is to create blogs! ) I decided to start a separate sewing blog, Of Trims and Frills and Furbelows. The blog takes its name from Marilla in Anne of Green Gables, when she refers to Anne’s [...]
