I am a very spiritual person. I would rather use the word "spiritual" than "religious."

Along with this, though, I'm a very "real" person.

I have been reading many spiritually/religious type books, lately. I prefer authors that do not specify, to a point of preaching their religion, to me, though.

I am a Christian. I would never be so vain, though, as to tell someone that I am forgiven. I do not think that its my judgment, of even myself. I don't feel that I have to carry those types of worries, as burdens, on my own shoulders. I'm glad its not my job. (more...)

Last night, I attended a wonderful Food Storage Class.

I have food all over my house, but I know I could not eat, for three months, with what I have..

Yes, some things, there is more than a 3 months supply.. like Peanut Butter..

But, in general, as prepared as I am for any type of emergency, job loss, catastrophe..

I'm not prepared, at all...

My biggest concern, when it comes to food storage, is dairy products. We eat a lot of dairy products.

It occurred, to me, last night, however, that I don't store egg replacer. I really didn't know that others didn't know that there were things, that I do store, that will replace an egg, in baked goods. (more...)

I made a judgment mistake, yesterday, afternoon.

I didn't consider that it had been raining, steadily, for over 24 hours, when I made plans to head out into the world.

This photo is the remnant of the lake that was my backyard, yesterday, afternoon. (more...)

Little children are still fascinated with dollar bills. I always carry a couple of them, in my pocket, and offer them for various things..

A few weeks ago, I allowed a one dollar bill to melt away shy fear, of a 6 year old, to sing and dance, at a family/friends gathered bon fire. After the parent had asked, begged, and pleaded..

"I'll Give you a Dollar!" worked. And we enjoyed the little skit, with a couple missing front teeth. Very cute, indeed.. and its not that it was inexpensive entertainment.. it gave the skit value, to the boy. (more...)
