WHAT A CHAPTER!
Romans 8, Matthew 5, Philippians 2, Psalm 23, Deuteronomy 6, Exodus 12, Acts 2… these are some of the all time classic chapters of the Bible. But after my devotions this week, I have a new one for my list of favorite chapters, Proverbs 18.Proverbs means, instead of many words. They are an eclectic collection of wise and godly sayings that are boiled down to just a few words from lifetimes of experience. So the 18th chapter of Proverbs is not a flowing...

Post #3 from Lindsay: Getting ready to sell
We had a realtor friend of my Mom's over (Cande) to give us an idea about what might be involved in selling our house. My husband and I decided that the time was ripe to put our home on the market but we really didn't have the foggiest idea about how to do it. It's the first time we've ever done this because the house in question is the first place we've owned. Cande hadn't ever seen the place before so it was fun to catch up. She got to see our...
Post #2 from Lindsay: Why Does Anyone Move?
My husband and I have recently acquired a beautiful baby girl who for the last 6 months has joined us on our daily 2-hour commute to our jobs. We live 7 miles from work, however, between us and work lies a giant 300-foot deep, 38-mile long chasm filled with fresh water known as Cayuga Lake. There have been schemes hatched about getting a boat and working out dockage on both sides of the lake, but due to various logistical barriers, including a boat...

A Love Letter to our House
Dear House, You were our first house. You were our dream. We needed a place close to work and a place where we could launch our boat to sail on the beautiful lake that you are so near to. We needed a place to plant a vegetable garden, and to have beautiful flowers planted just where we wanted. We needed a place to call our own, with a big kitchen, a great laundry room, and a place to keep our cars warm and dry in winter. We needed a house with a...

One much loved magazine in my collection is this 2002 Country Home magazine , the home of Kimber Wysong has been a great...

Life is what you make of it!
Prov 15:15 All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast. 16 Better is little with the fear of the Lord than great treasure and trouble therewith. 17 Better is a dinner of herbs where love is than a stalled ox and hatred therewith. I have observed so many people climbing their ladders of success, but alas, they are leaning against the wrong buildings. Happiness is so illusive to them because they have...
