The following blog post was written by my hubby, but I felt impressed to share it on here since it has been very influential in helping me change a few habits and also because he doesn't keep up on his blog anymore. It's too good to go to waste: My subject is derived from an … Continue reading Are you an Eagle or a Hog?

To Be With God
A few years ago I felt compelled to study deeper into the topic of meditation. This was something I had taught about and helped others with, but had been pretty lazy in my own personal application. I was aware of the physical benefits that meditation had on the nervous system of the body, but it … Continue reading To Be With God

I have a few big projects I have been working on in my free-time that the Lord has led me to work on. While they have been … Continue reading Preparing for Success
Daily Manna
Today my thought's have been turned to the power of daily scripture study and how I need to improve on that in my personal life. It seems like I always have something I'm doing really well, and something I let drop because all-too-often I try to juggle too many balls at once. Being pregnant has … Continue reading Daily Manna
