Going Beyond
Priscilla | Feb 02, 2010Today I’ve been looking at my calendar and am startled by the fact that our first Going Beyond event of the year is just around the corner. In roughly two weeks, I and about 2,000 registrants will converge on Mckinney Bible Church in Ft. Worth for what I believe will be a wonderful time. The […]
Read MoreThe Secret of Stones
Rachel Anne | Feb 01, 2010Have you read Priscilla’s devotional for the month of February yet? It is called the “Secret of Stones,” and it’s in the Jewelry Box. First of all, I didn’t know stones had secrets. I’ve stubbed my toe on many of them, but never considered that there was any spiritual truth in them . . . […]

Priscilla | Jan 31, 2010I spent some time with a wonderful woman last month. Her home was impeccable, her recipes delicious and her family admirable.

Read MoreThanks for Leaving Me Some
Rachel Anne | Jan 27, 2010My husband, Tom, and I were out running errands the other day. One of our stops was at the grocery store, which is always an adventure with him. He usually goes for the exotic jams, interesting bread, and savory snacks that I never come home with when I’m on my own. I glanced down and […]
Read MoreFeeling Limited?
Priscilla | Jan 25, 2010I read a blog post today by author Sally Clarkson. It encouraged me. She discussed the need for us to accept our God given limitations and flourish within them. The well-known story of David and Goliath was a great illustration. King Saul offered David his amour to go out to battle against the giant […]
Read MoreTime Well Spent
Priscilla | Jan 24, 2010It’s hard for me to wrap my mind around today’s date. When I turned on my computer, opened my calendar and saw the number “25” at the top of today’s square, I was a bit overwhelmed. Can’t you believe that it is already the 25th of January? February is only a few days away. […]

With the holidays long gone and the daily matters of life pressing in, the thought of kicking back, relaxing and taking it easy sounds like a great idea. But then again […]
