Why is it so hard to “Do What is Right”?
For many people, “doing what is right” is not a knowledge problem, it is an obedience problem. Its not that people actually do not know right from wrong any more (although sometimes I really wonder), more often that not, they are just too stubborn, prideful, selfish, lazy, angry…etc. to make wise choices. Then they justify, rationalize, blame etc. and quickly fall into a lifestyle of apathy, complacency and justification that the choice they made was not so bad after all. The more a person compromises when it comes to right and wrong choices, especially in the gray areas of life, the easier it gets to settle for second best.…

Read MoreKidney Bean Caramelized Onion Veggie Burgers
This recipe was served at a potluck in Grenada and the friend who made them was gracious enough to share his recipe. As much as I loved the mini burgers he made for us that night, I altered the recipe and liked them even more. I served them on a Friday night with oven fries and my husband could not believe they were veggie burgers. …
Read MoreA “PERFECT” Gift for the Grammies
Have you ever dreamed of the perfect gift for someone you love? That “PERFECT” gift for someone who has everything and wants nothing. This is often the dilemma of Christmas shopping for grandparents. With the holidays right around the corner, many folks may be starting to think about how to truly express love and appreciation for the people who have made a significant impact in their lives. …
Read MoreApricot Jam-No Sugar Added
I absolutely LOVE to make homemade jam. But with this Anti-Inflamation diet that I am trying to stick to in order to help heal my back, I have not been eating jam because even the low sugar variety I make has quite a bit of added white sugar. So my precious friend and prayer partner gave me this wonderful recipe for Apricot Jam-No Sugar Added.…
Read More“Let No One Look Down on your Youthfulness”
This past week, I had the privilege of filling out a questionnaire that is going to be used in the future as a featured article on a friend’s blog. The two of us grew up on the same street and although she was a few years younger than me, I had a fond affection for all the members of her family. Their parents were solid Christians and I truly admired how they raised their kids and what giving and caring people they were. When our family moved to the town that we have lived in for the past 20 plus years, she was the first person that reached out to me and welcomed me and my family into our new community. …
Read MoreWindows
Last January I had ample opportunity to contemplate windows since we had new windows installed everywhere in our house.
A “window of opportunity” for me to be still, snuggle under a blanket and try to stay warm and think. There are windows in our homes, in our schools, in our places of employment. We use windows to look OUT into the world. …
Read MoreDelighting in your Children
“Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.” Psalms 37:4
Delight is defined as giving or having a high degree of pleasure, enjoyment or satisfaction. We are God’s delight and He wants us to delight in Him.
Children are a gift from the Lord. We know this to be true, although while we are raising them we wonder sometimes. The day to day rigors of parenting often times impair our vision and impede our ability to “delight in our children”. …
Read MoreHome is Where the Heart is!
The expression, “Home is where the heart is “has not felt so tangible in a long time. When my husband and I arrived in Grenada at the beginning of August, we were both pleased to see how our daughter and son-in-law had adjusted to their island lifestyle. As we met many of their friends and participated in many aspects of their weekly routine, we both realized this has truly become their new home. Although they do not get to spend very much time together because of the demands of medical school, they are facing each day with a good attitude. They have made a wonderful life for themselves here and although it is a temporary stop on their new journey of marriage, they have bonded and are making memories here that will knit their hearts together in a special way forever.

Read MoreCurried Chick Pea and Chicken Slow Cooker Stew
While I was visiting Bekah and Ashkon in Grenada we had the opportunity to experience food from many different cultures. My favorite was the Indian food we enjoyed one day for lunch made by a local family that sells delicious meals every day on the campus at SGU (St. George’s University). Bekah found a recipe that reminded us of those delicious lunches and I added extra vegetables and changed the spice mix to make it my own. Hope you enjoy this meal as much as my hubby and I did!
