“Each of us is responsible for how we feel, what we wish for, and how we decide to approach life’s challenges.” “Happiness is something that we look for, strive for, perhaps even struggle for. Happiness is something that we try to find, or, more likely, something that we try to buy. Joy is something that […]
“Congratulations! Thank you for taking our conservation quiz and for using this bag to help protect the environment.” This was the information on a flat package I received from Earthbound Farm Organic. I was one of 80,000 people who won a reusable grocery bag from them. Since I’m in the process of building up my […]

I’ve read through the Old Testament before, but so many more things are catching my eye this time. Previously, when I thought about the burnt offerings and sacrifices, I just never thought about all that blood. Ironic, […]
Remember when Tiffany at Snapshots of Life ran a contest courtesy of Revka at RS Designs for her one year blogoversary? You are finally seeing the results of Revka’s designing talents.
