Here are some things you might consider before saying goodbye to 2021.

We read in Job 23:9, “When He acts on the left, I cannot behold Him; He turns on the right, I cannot see Him.” Job always contended that if a heavenly court were convened, God would find him “not guilty.” The problem we see here is Job was having a problem finding God.

Self-care is something that can look different for every person. There are people who like to cuddle up on the couch with a book, do a face mask, take a bubble bath, or even those who like to clean. There are so many ways to partake in self-care, and it is so important to make sure you are setting aside time to de-stress and have some “you time.”

THE LAST DUEL

Dustin and Loretta had perfect weather for their wedding day. All week was nice and sunny, which we were so grateful for.

There are days when I think it’s safest, and probably wisest, not to say anything to anyone about anything because people can be so very touchy lately. People are also very adept at letting the rest of the world know when they’ve been offended.

While I missed the 30th anniversary by a bit over a month, I wanted to take a look back at one of the biggest albums in rock/metal: “Metallica” by Metallica.

There is something supremely satisfying about consuming an entire dish, including, well, the dish itself. Presenting food in food, or edible vessels, is not only efficient and no-waste, but it’s often highly decorative.

Collegiate culture is drowning in references to booze-soaked parties, experimenting with drugs and generally partying hardy.

Evangelism. What comes to your mind when you hear the word evangelism? Maybe, a street preacher, a huge stadium revival, or names like Billy Sunday, D.L. Moody, or the great Billy Graham.

NO TIME TO DIE

When Shanna Lott submitted her grandmother’s name for inclusion in a newspaper insert honoring breast cancer survivors, she did it as a surprise. She wasn’t sure her grandmother would want to share about her experience, but her grandmother said it came down to spreading awareness for other women.

We live near one of the best national parks in the country, yet many of us don’t take advantage of it. 

Hope is one of those dynamic words that deserves the title of catalyst when it comes to change. It is a spiritual attribute that God’s people should use regularly as it is filled with life, excitement and positive energy. Your first reaction to the idea of hope may be one of skepticism because you are thinking, it’s easy for someone to talk about hope when they do not understand what a terrible condition my life is in. Well, I may not have walked in your shoes, but I know that being negative and giving up will not make the situation better. It’s true that health and financial problems, discouragement, fear and family and marital issues are very serious problems but the Lord has a special word for you today found in Romans 8:31, “If God be for us, who can be against us?” He knows everything that is happening in your life today and is waiting for you to place all of your hope and trust in Him alone. He is the God that cannot fail!

While the Chevy Suburban is synonymous with a cavernous interior, the new Tahoe is not far behind with this year’s makeover. Its commanding presence on the road places it near the top of large SUVs.

No kneading, you just mix it up and bake it.

I came up with this recipe for Apple Pie Pancakes with Caramel-Bourbon Glaze as one of my food projects. I wanted to try to make pancakes with different flavors.

Now that the fall season is officially launched, it’s time to braise. After all, ‘tis the season for fleece and woolies, lighting the fireplace, and reaching for our Dutch ovens. It’s time for cozy warmth and slow-food days, with the aromas of meat and spice wafting through the house. It’s meant for braises, stews and roasts, accompanied by squidgy mashes and bubbling gratins. No matter the neck of the woods in which you live or the weather outside, autumn is in the air — and on the menu.

I’m not sure how other couples start their weekends, but my husband and I usually begin Saturdays with a cup of coffee and an episode of “Hoarders.”

Fall is an abundant and satisfying season in the garden. Your hard work throughout the season has produced a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. Flowers continue to bloom, and the cool nights are allowing cool season vegetables to flourish.
