Love… One Sip At A Time // A Valentine Tea Party
I started hosting tea parties in an older home propped as pretty as you please on the corner of a quiet street. A family of four in a two-bedroom, one-bath home made for a tight fit, and tea parties felt downright snug, but no one would change a thing. Some teas were scripture-based, and others celebrated holidays, but every time, the room filled with the scent of scones, floral tea, and...

Tea for Twenty
A friend loves at all times... Proverbs 17:17Last night, our Bible Class came together for a wonderful evening of fellowship over cups of Christmas tea and goodies (of course!)From my vantage point, I could see every friend's face gathered around the table. Some of them I've known for years, others whom I've only had the pleasure of meeting since the class began. On the other end of the table...
What’s Love Got To Do With It?
Our Sunday Bible Class met for dinner at Cracker Barrel last night. With the rain and wind, we didn't expect everyone to show, but we had 45 people in attendance! You can only imagine the delight on the manager's face and the horror on the waiter's. We had to split up in to smaller groups, but we still had a nice opportunity to meet new people.Starting the process of developing new...
Here, Kitty Kitty
At times, my stray yard cat, affectionately known as "Oreo", is a lot of fun to watch as she plays beside me while working in the yard. And yet, at other times, she's reminds me of why I could never be a farmer. I simply don't have the heart for it.There was the time not so long ago when Oreo pounced on one of the birds I had just fed. As a result, I increased her feeding of Kit &...
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
One sure indicator that I'm sick: I sleep during the day. Brian and I share a lot of commonalities, but sleeping is not one of them. I recognize the importance and blessing of sleep, but quite frankly, the only reason I like going to sleep at night is because it puts me that much closer to waking up the next morning. Brian, on the other hand, looks forward to the sleep experience. I like my...

A Trip Down Memory Lane
This morning I headed to Spartanburg to visit my great-aunt, Helen, my grandmother's sister.Visiting Aunt Helen is always bittersweet in a sense. I obviously enjoy my time with her and I know she enjoys the company, and yet, every visit reminds me of how much I miss my sweet grandmother. The childhood memories begin to trickle into my mind from the moment I pull into her driveway. The...
