I am not quite sure how to figure out how to move my weight loss ticker to show my weight loss progress. I’ll have to figure that out soon. But for now, my goals is to lose 78 pounds within one year. I will accomplish this by eating and drinking: 1200 calories/day 25-30 grams of […]

To Entertain or Not to Entertain…That is the Question!
How much do you feel you need to entertain your children?! It seems like I’m constantly in a push/pull scenario in my life. If I’m spending time with my children, I am not getting anything else done. If I’m doing something else, I feel guilty that I haven’t been playing with my kids. I also […]
Is God good?
Have you ever stopped to wonder what the difference is between WHO God is and WHAT God does? I recently heard a man praising God and telling about His goodness because He spared his family from a tornado. Who am I to begrudge God Almighty for the praise due His name? The man being interviewed […]
