Random Thoughts of Thanks

Posted in Holidays, and Thoughts

Today, I am grateful that I’m a nominee over at the Homeschool Blog Awards.  I’ve been nominated in the Best Homemaking Blog category.  It’s a blessing to know that my gluten free recipes and gluten free products posts have helped others.  I love being able to take care of my family by providing delicious gluten free cooking for them, and it’s fun when I’m able to help even more people in the process. It was fun to know that some of my posts such as The Great Bedroom Throwdown and The Great Bathroom Throwdown inspired some people to have fun…

Happy Veteran’s Day 2010

Posted in Holidays, and Military Life

Over the years, Veteran’s Day has meant different things to me.  When I was younger, I didn’t completely understand the significance.  Once D joined the Corps, my understanding started to significantly grow.  His first deployment lead to a deeper understanding.  During the next deployment, he was actually gone for Veteran’s Day.  It was then that the meaning of it all truly sank in.

The Bible

Posted in Christian Life, and Holidays

We are blessed to have many different Bibles around the house in various translations (only a few are shown above).  Munchkin found 2 of D’s from his childhood just the other day.  I pulled out a couple of my own Bibles from when I was younger.  It’s fun looking back at the Bibles from our youth.  At the same time, it reminds us how fortunate we are to have more than one Bible in our home.  There are too many people not only abroad, but also here in the U.S. who don’t even own a Bible. Just having Bibles sitting…
