I’m not stuck

By the looks of my blog, it looks like I got stuck complaining about Black Friday. Yes, I missed my self-imposed blogging deadline last week, but not because I’ve been slacking. I’ve been diligently working trying to put the finishing touches on an inductive study that we’re about to release through Quarterlife Ministries. Which also […]

‘Twas the night before Thanksgiving

I went to the Dollar Tree last week and snapped a picture of this sign. But no need to pick on Dollar Tree, there’s a similar sign at Wal-Mart, Walgreens and your local grocery store. I’ll be honest that it makes me sad. One reason is that my husband has a retail job. So tonight, […]

Detox Chronicles: Lessons Learned

I think this is week 5 of my detox. No sugar. No yeast. No dairy. I’ve lost about 10 lbs. and haven’t had any recurring symptoms. My nutritionist added a no-yeast bread that I can now eat, but I haven’t gotten around to making it. Ben made me some pizza last week that was incredible. […]
