Portals to the Season

Posted on: Nov 29, 2012        In: Life and Love        With: No comments
In the last couple of days, Super Sister and Mikel (Number One Son’s wife) have created impressive (That is an understatement.) Christmas decor for their front doors.  I have to share their creations with you.  Perhaps you will be inspired, and make something remarkable for your front portal. Mikel created this mesh Christmas wreath.  My, […]

Oh Christmas Tree! Oh Christmas Tree!

Posted on: Nov 28, 2012        In: Life and Love        With: No comments
Today was Christmas tree decorating day.  It is always nostalgic for me. Our tree is old fashioned in that we continue to use all the ornaments from Christmas’ past.  Don’t get me wrong.  I love, love, love the beautiful “put together” trees, but what we have is what we have. That being said, as I […]

A Psalm of Thanksgiving

Posted on: Nov 18, 2012        In: Life and Love        With: No comments
Psalm 100 has been a favorite of mine for as long as I can remember.  In 1968 (a bazillion years ago) I wrote out the entire Psalm 100 for a Thanksgiving bulletin board in Harrodsburg, Indiana.   It was our poem for the month, and most everyone was able to quote it for their Thanksgiving […]

Fall at Super Sister’s Home

Posted on: Nov 13, 2012        In: Life and Love        With: No comments
I promised you that you could have a tour inside Super Sister’s home.  As I told you before, I really believe Super Sister tied bows with her umbilical cord in the womb.  She is crafty and can do anything.  What amazes me about her home are all the little details.  Everywhere you turn there is […]

Super Sister’s Porch

A visit to Super Sister’s home is always wonderful.  I am here to tell you that it is better than going to a bed and breakfast. Be still my heart!  This is what I saw when I drove into her driveway. If you want to be inspired by fall decor, this is the place to […]

More About Mercy Street

Posted on: Nov 5, 2012        In: Life and Love        With: No comments
We (Living Stones) wanted to see Mercy Street. Jill wanted us to see Mercy Street. After the luncheon, we went to Mercy Street. We were blessed. This is how I heard the story.   When they were tearing down the “project apartments,” they were going to tear down the old recreational center.  The city of […]

Greater Dallas Prayer Ministry

At the Mercy Street Fundraising Luncheon, two ladies – Janie McKay and Agatha Odamah – spoke to me. They thought I was a photographer. I said, “Not really, I just have a little blog.” “A blog.  How perfect.  You can put our invitation to the Greater Dallas Prayer Ministry on your blog.  We will talk […]

Mercy Street

Jill invited friend BB to the Mercy Street Fundraising Luncheon, and friend BB invited the Living Stones, and eight of us traveled to West Dallas to hear what God is doing in the neighborhood. Back story – Jill was a recipient of the scholarship at Texas A & M that honors BB’s daughter Heather.  Then […]

Message

Last week Candy, our Learn Pastor, at First Baptist Church Richardson sent this.  Be still my heart.  I was so blessed reading her testimony, and I asked her if I could share it with you.  I realize that some of you have read it, but I wanted to share it with everyone on the blog. […]

Eyes in the Bushes

Posted on: Oct 27, 2012        In: Life and Love        With: No comments
Sounds a little creepy doesn’t it – “There are eyes in the bushes.”  (Just say it in you best Lon Chaney voice.) Number One Son pointed these out to me on Pinterest (Thrifty Crafty Girl) some time ago, and I have been saving toilet paper rolls ever since.  To have eyes hiding in the bushes on […]
