It’s amazing to me how easily my husband can fall asleep.  What a blessing that he can stretch back in his chair for a ten minute nap and be asleep in 30 seconds. He gets the benefit of the whole ten minutes!  When I try to take a nap, it takes me nine minutes to fall asleep and leaves me with one minute to rest!

This week the entry way, living room and kitchen were painted a lovely white called, Blue kiss. It’s a white paint with blue hues. As I was getting the rooms prepped for the paint job, I realized that my pantry was also a spot that had the “old” paint color. Soooo, I pulled everything out, put it on the kitchen table so it could get brightened up with the new white shade. It was a good bit of work, but I knew it was going to pay huge dividends!

A Woman of Excellence

How would you feel if you asked a friend how your outfit looked on you today and she said,

No worries! It’s mediocre.

Would you go change? What if you made your family supper and asked how it tasted and they said,

Thanks. It’s mediocre

We’d be disappointed, right? Why then should we settle for making
