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...
My Friday Fave
This was the favorite find of the week. It’s organic, cheesy, and covered in mushrooms and olives. The crust is yummy too! There are three servings per pizza and take my word for it…leftovers heat up beautifully. Kudos to...
Why Glue When a Stitch Will Do?
A strap on my favorite pair of shoes broke a few weeks ago so I did what any instant-gratification lover would do: I googled “shoe repair Simpsonville SC” and chose the closest location to me. I wanted it stitched back together but this particular shoe repairman insisted that glue would work just fine. It was instant gratification at its best. I waited 5 minutes and paid 3.00. A...
What Plays in Your Background?

Please keep us in your prayers as we sense the Lord leading the way. We’re very excited…stay tuned! God uses frustration, delights, waning or increasing desires, and anything else He chooses to get us where He wants us to be. Weight...
Are We Investing or Squandering Our Time?
Today my husband will be playing trumpet for the funeral of a young man in our church who was killed last week while para sailing in Florida during a family vacation. Just two years ago, my husband played trumpet for his wedding. As we stood in the visitation line last night, I couldn’t help but think this had to be the last place his sweet wife of two years ever expected to be this...
My Friday Fave
A reading gadget called Thumb Thing! On a recent outing to one of my favorite bookstores in town, Mr. K’s, I came across this nifty invention. Choose a size, slip in your thumb, and you’re ready to go! When you see simple creations like this, don’t you wonder like me “Why didn’t I think of this?” I have a feeling I’ll get my money’s worth ($2.00) at...
