Fatherhood
Jerry | Jan 06, 2010Hey, It’s me. Jerry Shirer; the other half of the Shirer team. Last week a friend told me that he’d been on Priscilla’s blog, reading through one of the motherhood discussions. He’d typed up a couple paragraphs to join in and then deleted it when it occurred to him that he’d be the only guy […]
Read MoreFasting for Change
Priscilla | Jan 05, 2010Put on sackcloth, O priests, and mourn; wail, you who minister before the altar. Come, spend the night in sackcloth, you who minister before my God; for the grain offerings and drink offerings are withheld from the house of your God. Declare a holy fast; call a sacred assembly. Summon the elders and all […]
Read MoreWrite it Down
Priscilla | Jan 04, 2010I keep a journal. I wish I was a serious writer like some of my friends who write without fail every single night, but I’m not. In fact, I’m not even close. Over the course of my life, I’ve probably filled up five or six journals. In fact, the one that I just ran out […]
Read MoreLooking for Peacocks, 2010
Rachel Anne | Jan 03, 2010Shortly after we moved to our barn house in the country, we began hearing strange noises in the woods. It sounded like a woman in distress, day after day, calling for help.

Read MoreEntertaining on a Dime – Frugal Friday
Priscilla | Dec 31, 2009One of the highlights of my life is traveling to different churches, conferences and women’s gatherings. Meeting so many different sisters from different walks of life and denominations is priceless. And yet, I must admit, there are a few downsides to such a life. One of those is that I always miss my friends’ […]

Read MoreNew Year’s Resolutions? Nah.
Rachel Anne | Dec 29, 2009A few years ago I asked my son Grayson, age 12 at the time, if he had any New Year’s resolutions. He thought a moment and then said, “Yeah. Eat a high fiber diet!” Wait a sec. Unless Pop Tarts are now considered a health food, I don’t think he had any idea what he […]

Priscilla | Dec 28, 2009It’s been a great holiday season for my family and I. The boys have had a never-ending Christmas. It began at our house on Christmas morning. They woke up at 6am to see our little 3-ft tree lined with a few gifts for each of them. I marveled at how quickly each gift was unwrapped […]
