As I turned up the inclined road, it seemed my car was sweeping me into the gray cloud-filled sky. A hint of pink tinged the sky’s corner and raindrops fell slowly against my windshield. The essence of fall was invading my senses as the desert landscape cooled its summer pace to a gentle breath of all that is autumn. The weather whispered cool breezes through open windows while visions of chicken noodle soup cooking on the stove drifted through … Continue reading →
It’s been so long since I’ve posted here. Besides having problems with my Blogger template, the roads in my life have taken some wild hairpin turns. As I face these issues and hopefully adopt a new design for both my life and my blog, I will be taking a brief pause. Hope to see you back here as I round the bend in the mountain. From My Heart to Yours, “The Lord is righteous in all … Continue reading →
“Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. Ephesians 3:20-21 NIV God has done some amazing work behind the scenes in my life this week and in my family. To Him be all glory and power and praise forever more! … Continue reading →
We had looked forward to this time for months. With our son having left for boot camp only two weeks prior, we knew that a few-day visit from our friends would be the perfect pick-me-up for our droopy spirits. But as the time approached, I felt myself sinking into a deep pit. Son had not called or written–my heart breaking while other Moms reported glorious words from their offspring. Energy levels plummeted with the mood. I looked around the … Continue reading →
I gazed up at the sky, overcome once again by a vibrant Summer Sunset in this blistering desert. Quickly I grabbed my camera and snapped away before the colors faded and the clouds pulled apart like cotton candy. When I checked the views billowing into my camera’s viewfinder, I was struck at the deep roiling red captured in my first photo. It eerily reminded me of fire more than a peaceful sunset ushering in a docile evening. … Continue reading →
Sesame Seed Chicken with Broccoli Crumb Casserole and Stove Top Dressing I figure it is still barely Friday here in Arizona, so I’m legally posting a recipe for Ann Kroeker’s site Food on Fridays. While I await a letter from my youngest son who is in Navy Boot Camp, I thought I might include one of his favorite recipes that I made while he was still home. Yes, this one is chicken. If you know our family, you … Continue reading →
The text from youngest beeped at me, “(Lol) Sean Miller is on my flight.” The thoughts start whirring as I walk through the grocery story. The basketball coach of the University of Arizona is on the plane with youngest. The basketball coach for whom Jordan was one of several team managers a couple of years ago. It was the road we all thought youngest would travel. Keep working for the team, continue his major in Journalism, and blaze a … Continue reading →
“You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence with eternal pleasures at your right hand.” Psalm 16:11 NIV Watching the fireworks explode color across the sky filled my heart with praise for God. Patterns danced their praises to God, the Lord of heaven and earth. From My Heart to Yours, Linking with Scripture and a Snapshot and The Sunday Community
Continue reading →In the middle of July with the temperature roasting us at 104 degrees, you may be asking yourself, “Why would she turn on the ovens to make dinner?” For our family, these past couple of weeks have been like winter holidays for us–as far as the dinner fare is concerned. We’ve taken this opportunity to celebrate as if these were holidays, fixing our youngest son’s favorite meals and side dishes~as we all prepare for the real farewell. Farewell to … Continue reading →
The Fourth of July is long past and I’m way behind on my writing. With Jordan’s departure for Boot Camp rapidly approaching, I have been spending a lot of time gathering information about what to expect concerning his future~and ours. Still I wanted to publish the recipe for the “Navy Star Cookies” as I now call them since we made them for our youngest’s send-off to Navy Boot Camp. Just in case some one is having a late … Continue reading →
