I get so much from old Western TV shows and movies that inspire these blog posts. (Culturally outdated, indeed!) The latest one, featured a wagon train of approx. 300 people traveling to California. A husband and wife join up with the train part way through the trip. When some of the women on said train … Continue reading Holier than thou
The history of the phrase little black book is quite colorful. (Pun intended!) As with many English idioms containing the word black, this one refers to something mysterious or even potentially shameful. People may refer to a journal or part of a journal as their black book or little black book. This means that it … Continue reading My little black book
Just so you know, green is my favorite color. I had a lovely string of malachite beads that I used for my prayerful meditations. A friend who was going through a difficult divorce, needed some extra encouragement, and so I gave them to her, as green is her favorite color too. When looking for a … Continue reading Lapis Lazuli Blue
That's right folks, it is time for another adventure from the ranch! When we got our property, it was overrun with thistles. That first summer it was an everyday job to spray them with weed killer, made specially for them. We had pump up sprayers that you put the weed killer in, mix with water, … Continue reading Ants in your pants

I about to share another true story from the ranch, so get a good grip on something solid, and read on. It was several years ago. We were adding a new section of fence by our county road, … Continue reading Warning!
It's huge! 17 inches across the top and 12 inches deep. That's the size of my husband's favorite cooking pot. The wooden spoon he uses to stir is 18 inches long. He is a fantastic cook. The only downside, is he does not seem to know how to cook for just two people. So whenever … Continue reading Stir it up
I am always on the lookout for new ideas for my blog posts. Holy Spirit inspires me when I am open and listening. So I do my very best to always be listening. I never know where my next idea will come from. In a previous post I mentioned that my husband and I watch … Continue reading The 10% Ring
Temperatures where I live can get down to 26 below zero Fahrenheit in the winter. (That's -33 Celsius) This gives you a mental picture of why what I am about to share is so mind blowing. I was out running errands on my lunch break in January. I distinctly heard the Lord Yahweh say to … Continue reading Comfort Zone
I'm sitting here deciding what to wear to work today. My bell bottom jeans and groovy love beads, or my polyester leisure suit. Now that's outdated! My husband and I enjoy watching older TV shows. A couple of examples are Wagon Train and Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp. We enjoy them because the characters … Continue reading Outdated
If someone calls you fat, just ignore them. You are bigger than that. To ignore is to refuse to pay attention to; to disregard; to pass over or by without notice; to treat as if not known; and to leave out of account. I am reading through Job in my One Year Bible, and three … Continue reading Ignore it
