February raced by, and it seems we did one thing more than any other—shovel snow! We had 37” of the beautiful white stuff in those 28 days! It truly was beautiful, and cold with temps going as low as -22 in Billings. We were shoveling in -35 degree wind chills! So far, with the exception …

What I Want To Be When I Grow Up
I recently joined a small group of women in writing for a Facebook Bible study called Worthy Daughters. One of the things we were asked to do was to share our testimonies. It occurred to me that I have never done that on this blog. So, I thought I would just go ahead and share …
Giving Tuesday Mishap
I have just discovered that the Forbid Them Not website is completely down. I’m not sure when this happened, though it had to be sometime between yesterday morning and this morning. Yesterday, was Giving Tuesday, and I had posted links back to the site in a couple of places that would allow people to give …

Week 4: Widows Indeed Cont’d Day 1: Being A Dorcas – Acts 9:36-43 I first heard the story of Dorcas when I was eight or nine years old. I was amazed, not by the fact that she had been raised from the dead – although generally I suppose most people would consider that to be …
