Find refreshment for your heart, home and life
I have a confession – I had never made Chicken Wings until two weeks ago. Now I understand the rage! The great thing about the recipe I used was that they were not fried….nor were they air-fried! There was an option to bake them in the oven, and I was so impressed with the results! These were so flavorful! The seasoning gave them the flavor that had us gnawing on the bones!
Skinny Taste has done it again!

It’s a huge book filled with pictures from her home. What I love about her is that she doesn’t tell you to “go buy this,” or “You need this.” She tells you how to create a home you’ll love with what you have now.
Recently when I was at my library I had a question in my head about whether or not our library might have her new book. I was THRILLED to find it on the New books bookshelf!
There are 100 Rules she’s written about decorating. Each one is so inspiring – not restricting! I thought I’d show how I’ve implemented some of those rules in my home. Here’s one – Everything that sits out is decoration. That means your box of tissues, the pill bottle or your stash of pens. Therefore, if you want it to be a pretty decor, make it so! Here’s how I fixed my tissue box that was sitting on the side table in the living room.

It’s so easy for me to feel defeated in my Christian life, but it’s only when I’m listening to the lies of the Devil…
Continue reading “Who me, Overreact?”You did that and you call yourself a Christian? What a poor excuse of a follower of Christ you are! You fail again and again!
When I was ready to throw in the towel at making gluten-free desserts for my GF friends, I went to King Arthur to try one more recipe. I settled on Small Batch Brownies. You can make this recipe using regular all-purpose flour or gluten-free. I followed the recipe’s suggestion and used the Measure for Measure Flour. They were delicious! I loved them so much that I left a review saying, “This recipe is a keeper!”
I love that it makes four nice-sized brownies, rather than a large pan full. I was taking dinner to a gluten-free friend and only needed enough dessert for her and her husband. Perfect – all the way around!

How refreshing it is to stand in a stream and hear its bubbling song. There is just something about flowing, moving water that invigorates! It refreshes! If you’ve ever stood at a stream’s edge in the countryside you know what I mean.
Some time ago, I was given a handout entitled, “Twenty Ways to Refresh.” Due to the nature of my blog and my desire to refresh others in their heart, home and life, I gravitate to the word, “Refresh.” Harold Vaughan, the founder of Christ Life Ministries, is the epitome of Encouragement and he is the author of this list I was given. When we refresh others, we are pouring life into them, like that flowing stream does for us! If you’re like me and you have difficulty thinking of ways to encourage others, this list will help you.
Here are the first ten:
This really inspired and refreshed me! Which one of these points speaks most to you?
Lovingly,
