Christmas 2012 with family 008_001

So I have been woefully absent from the blogging world lately. I haven't even been reading blogs, which has about killed me. So now that the holiday hubbub has settled down I am ready to get back into my blogging world. Oh how I have missed you all so much.  I think the holidays takes it out of all of us at some point or another. Today I began taking down my decorations. I know Scrooge, but in reality it is much easier to do when Gene is here to help and get it all put away. Since he is off … [Read more...]

It is time to link up with Mama Kat for writer's workshop. This week I chose the first prompt A Christmas gift that wasn't well received.As a child our Christmases were filled with family, food and fun.

I don't often ask ya'll to do much.. seriously I don't. But I needed a faith lift today. Stress has gotten the better of me and the grinch of Christmas was rearing his ugly head. Then I saw this... I cannot fathom the pain this baby's mother must have endured for 6 months to watch your child lay in a coma. Especially when it was caused by someone who was supposed to care for her child as much as she did. But to see the faith of the mother and the church. I love Sheryl Brady already but I was … [Read more...]

Often times we over look the miracle of the pregnancy of Elizabeth. Elizabeth was a devout woman the wife of a well respected priest of the local temple.
