Good afternoon...

Our Sunday School class has been doing the Beth Moore Bible study of Esther. It is hard being a woman.. Yes, it is! But it is also a blessing. Esther could make for a great romance novel, it has all the makings of one. Here is a woman that shows up on scene in the shadows of another woman. Queen Vashti, a beauty beyond words that everyone was in awe of. How many of us are secure enough to be in another woman's shadow?

After reading and attending the live feed of Beth Moore's Good-bye Insecurity You've been a bad friend to us... the study of Esther points out moments that made an impact on the Jews. There are ironies that when we look back shows that God's hand are all over this book in the Bible. He might not be mentioned in name, but He is there.

Join us in the reading of Esther, we just finished the first chapter that introduces the King, Queen, and the parties that were going with events that will remove the Queen so that Esther can emerge and show us what a herion is all about.

Read Chapter one and share your thoughts about what suck out the most to you....Can't wait to hear your insights.

Happy Monday! I do hope that you enjoyed your weekend with you family and friends. We had a great time! Pizza & movies vegging on Friday, bowling on Saturday, and attending God's house on Sunday. It was a great family weekend for us. Hubby left Sunday evening for his last week of work out of state. It will be great having him home nightly again. They say that the heart grows fonder when there is a separation. This is true, but I also believe that respect for each other grows and admiration for each other; as well. Tips, Tricks, & Ideas: *Bundt Pan: Cut corn from the cob without the mess. Place an ear in the center of a Bundt pan. As you slide the knife down, the corn will fall right into the pan. *Rubbing Alcohol: Ears clogged with pool or sea water? With an eyedropper, insert a few drops of rubbing alcohol into each ear canal to evaporate it. Rubbing alcohol comes to the rescue, too, when you've gone overboard with self-tanner: Fix too-dark splotches by blo

Joys & Sorrow

This week has been full of an array of emotions. It seems the closer to the end of school we get the busier we are. Awards day, getting ready for the end of the year dance recital, ordering class ring for my oldest. Reality sets in that these wonderful gifts from God grow up! We have to be ready & prepare them with the tools that will help them make the best decisions for their life. Giving them their foundation through the Bible. Monday was Art in the Park for out TAG program. My youngest son won second place in his division. So proud of him. It makes my heart smile to see his eyes light up. He walks to the beat of a different drum and he does it proudly. Tuesday was spent cleaning around the house and the yard. Bikes laid where the kids laid them, balls in the yard; I realized that the things I was picking up would some day not be there. That one day in the near future I would long for the day where I would pick up their toys in the yard. It's not that far off, ho

A time such as this

A couple years ago our Sunday School class did a study on Esther; one that all of us a women should study. Little did I know what the study would mean to me in the future. If you are unfamiliar with the story of Esther, I would highly recommend that you read it in the bible, follow it up with a study to help dig a little deeper. Even though God’s name is never mentioned in the book of Esther, His divine fingerprints are all over it. We see from Esther that there is no such thing as “coincidence,” and though God may seem distant or even absent at times in our lives, He is always present and working. Not unlike many of us, Esther wasn't an extraordinary woman. She was where she needed to be when she needed to be there, but that wasn't enough she also needed courage to do what she needed to do. Looking at events that occurred this last year I can see that there are times in my own life that God worked it to be somewhere that I needed to be and the one task I was left with w
