Sweet Potato Muffins

Awana Cowgirl Night

Posted in Christian Life

Last Wednesday was Cowgirl/Cowboy Night at Awana. The kids had a blast. Everyone that dressed up got an extra chance to throw a whipped cream pie at the Awana Commander. That was quite the incentive for the kids. I am grateful for Munchkin’s great Awana leaders. (Click on image about to go to the 30 days of Thanksgiving challenge.)

I offered to do the dissections with her, but she wanted Daddy. We’ve skipped over some of the dissections in the chapters until Daddy had a chance to sit down with her. Monday night, Daddy got home early. Munchkin was thrilled because they would finally be able to at least do one dissection. After we ate dinner, Munchkin and Daddy got their dissection area all set up. Unfortunately, our poor earthworm dried…

Sarah’s Escape Review

Posted in Reviews

            Inside, Sarah saw him, and her heart skipped a beat. It felt like a giant hand squeezing the very breath from her. Then, color drained from her face and panic came—cold and sudden. Standing speechless, a terrible fear tore at her throat, and for a split second she thought of the will. Only Sam knew the hiding place.             “Sam!” Eliza screamed. “Oh, Sam, Oh, my dear Sam.” She knelt beside her husband, head on his chest, weeping uncontrollably. Sarah rushed to Eliza’s side as Esther flew through the doorway. Seeing her daddy on the floor staggered her, sending…
