My New Year Prayer for You
In the fall, my church teammates and I decided to have a mini-Bible study as part of our team meetings. Psalm 1 was selected. In October, I shared my version of the first three verses. This month we concluded our study by sharing our thoughts about the entire psalm. Mine turned into a prayer. I […]

Soup’s On: Traveling the World of Soups: Butternut Squash Soup
This past summer I grew what I called baby Butternuts because they were no more than 6-10” long. When early September arrived, I had plenty of the mini squashes. It took two days to wash, peel, dice and freeze four-gallon plastic bags full of home-grown squash. All for my garden-to-table Butternut soup for Thanksgiving dinner. […]

What is the big takeaway from this experience? Get used to different. Because I have monovision, my right eye sees long distance […]
