Choosing a Gift for a Special Needs Child

Dec 16, 2013

A dear family member of ours sent their Christmas presents early for the boys. The gifts included not only fun toys for our oldest son, but a few learning toys for him as well. I was very excited when I saw them! One of the learning toys was Telly the Teaching Time Clock. It displays both digital and analog time. There's even a quiz option in which the child can look at the digital time and...

Faith Deployed … Again

Feb 2, 2011

Some books have such a huge impact that a sequel is not only desired, but necessary. That's definitely true for the book, Faith Deployed by Jocelyn Green. Faith Deployed is a wonderful book full of encouragement for military wives. I did a review on it back in December 2009.

A Home Remedy for Cough and Congestion

Sep 27, 2010

Nothing reminds you of cold and flu season like nasal congestion and a hacking cough in September. My sinuses have been kicking up like crazy for the past few weeks and I've been spending some time in prayer for simple things, like being able to breathe out of my nose, deliverance from coughing, and for God to fix the leaky faucet in my nose.
