This summer has been busy as we have served at The Wilds Christian Camp three days each week. So many people, knowing our busyness and our age (!) have shared their concern for our rest. We are grateful and we listen to their cautions not to overdo. The Lord has superintended times each weekend that refresh and renew us. I thought I’d share a few pictures of those scenarios.

Making Family Dinnertime Special
Every Monday I share a recipe or two with you because I love to cook good food for my family and those I serve in my home. I enjoy it because of what a good meal does for a family. It makes memories and traditions. It binds us together. As our stomachs are nourished, so are our hearts. But there’s a whole other dimension to food that plays into each of those blessings. It’s really the whole experience and atmosphere in which it is served.
Reflecting on My Dad’s Love: A Father’s Day Tribute
This Father’s Day weekend, I have been thinking much about my dad who has been in heaven for a little more than two years. His passing was hard, but honestly, he had suffered so much that we were all relieved that he was no longer sick, but was now in heaven with His Savior.

I got to meet up and have lunch with my sweet friend. Days might be full, but we all need to make time for fellowship and friendship. I recently heard a message by Chuck Swindoll and he said,
