Candy Corn and Peanuts – Update

 
Okay, here’s how it’s been the past 3,600 minutes, or so…  I have had some semblence of breakthrough.  My hero has really come to my rescue.  As heroes should.  Determined to help me get rid of this stuff, he’s been eating handfuls of it himself.  Actually, it hasn’t been handfuls, just lots of repeated dips into the [...]

Halloween – Best Christmas Shopping Day Ever!

October 31st is, by far, the best Christmas shopping day of the year!  Except for a sprinkling of parents escorting costumed kiddies from shop to shop for candy, that is one night you’ll find the malls and other stores virtually empty.  No parking problems.  No empty shelves.  No picked-through merchandise.  No long lines at check out.

Candy Corn and Peanuts – If You Haven’t Tried This, Don’t!

Today Shalee at Shalee’s Diner,  http://shaleesdiner.com/  posted on her blog about her addictions, and lack thereof.  I had already considered confessing my struggle with the seasonal addiction which you see pictured above.  So, I guess you could say it was her prodding which clinched it. 
 
I happen to know for a fact that there are others out there who also have a craving [...]

Voting Booth Faith III

This morning I received a link which provides an excellent summary for Biblical-based voting.   In countless conversations, I have already spelled out most of these exact same issues which Huntley Brown, a famous black pianist, so eloquently states here.  I pray many will take time to read his statement(s).  They were not originally intended for the public.  I think this makes them [...]

Voting Booth Faith – Part II The Economy

 
First thing this morning, I followed my hero to the local garage so he could drop off his truck for maintenance.  While the mechanic and he took it for a spin to hear the described rattle, I waited in my car, reading my Bible.  Oh, it was time well spent.  I came upon Psalm 112 and immediately thought [...]

God’s Entertainment

      With all the worldly entertainment thrown at us nowdays, I think we’ve lost much of our ability to spot God’s delights.   What a waste!  Our nation spends billions of dollars on electronic toys and media fluff, while God offers all kinds of stuff to fascinate us…for free!  Like the entertainment He sent us just the other day.
 
I first noticed God’s visitor as he stood peering through the sliding [...]

Sunrise Apple Orchard Trip – Part II

I just have to do a Part II on our Apple-getting trek.  The weather was perfect; the scenery was…well…how could anyone look at such beauty and not believe there is a God?!!! 

We sampled several different apple varieties, sipped hot cider, and, since it’s only a once-a-year event, wolfed down some of the unspeakably delicious Apple Cider [...]

A is for Autumn Apples

Thursday we made our annual trek to the Sunrise Apple Orchards in Gays Mills, Wisconsin.  First of all, the drive itself is well worth the trip.  I’m kind of glad people think Iowa is nothing but pigs and corn fields, because if they saw the cliffs, valleys, and rolling hills, and the breathtaking autumn colors, Eastern Iowa wouldn’t be [...]

Voting Booth Faith

If a Christian is one who follows Christ and His teachings, why is it that during an election many Christians forsake their faith in God and transfer it to faith in man? 
 
Generally, Christians claim Jehovah Jireh as their provider, but in the voting booth many choose their candidates based on how they think it will [...]
