The Boys Sings!

This is a 3.5 minute video of Little Dood…. here for his daddy, but if you want to take a peek, feel free!
I don’t know if it was the guitar, the camera or what, but normally he hits the ABC’s nearly perfectly… this time not so much! :)  He also throws in a little [...]

Pixie Dust and Adult Stem Cells

This is most fascinating!!!

I am praying that they find no side effects!
Read more about what they hope to [...]

Titus Two-sday

Similarly, older women should be reverent in their behavior, not slanderers, not addicted to drink, teaching what is good, so that they may train younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled, chaste, good homemakers, under the authority of their husbands, so that the word of God may not be discredited.
Titus 2: [...]

“Possible Related Links”

WordPress has added a new feature….  “Possible Related Links”.
It’s a neat idea, but I am finding in my blog stats that I’ve been linked at sites that I really don’t think are compatible with my blog.  So I opted to turn off this option.  Maybe one day it will be more discerning and more like-minded [...]

A Warrior is Back (no, not my husband!)

8 At Rephidim, Amalek came and waged war against Israel. 9 Moses, therefore, said to Joshua, “Pick out certain men, and tomorrow go out and engage Amalek in battle. I will be standing on top of the hill with the staff of God in my hand.”
10 So Joshua did as Moses told him: he engaged [...]
