Cruising Toward Relaxation
Mar 21, 2011Priscilla and Jerry are somewhere sailing over the ocean this week, cruising toward some much-deserved relaxation. I must say that I’ve never seen Priscilla work harder than she has over the past three months. I really don’t know how she managed to write a book, finish another book, wrap up a DVD series….OH AND be […]
Read MoreNotes from My Quiet Time
Mar 20, 2011I’m in awe every single time I hear the voice of God. It never gets old or boring, and never ceases to amaze me. Most often, God speaks clearly to me through His Word.

Read MoreSigns of Spring
Mar 17, 2011With heartfelt apologies to some of you poor Northerners who are still dealing with winter, I must admit I’m getting excited about Spring.

Mar 13, 2011Associated Press I’ve been completely overwhelmed and shocked by the images that I’ve seen. I’m sure you have too. The news reports and video segments of the earthquake that shook Japan and the tsunami that swept over their land are unbelievable. I sat with my mouth agape and heart fluttering as I watched. Tears burned […]
Read MoreKnock It Off and Settle Down. Please.
Mar 10, 2011Have you ever noticed how, when your kids are getting loud and out of control, a soft voice gets their attention? As parents, sometimes our first inclination is to yell over the noise to get them to knock it off and settle down….which isn’t a very effective way of doing it. Trust me on that […]
