Greetings! I know it’s been a while since I’ve written. But there’s been a good reason or two… First of all, we have a new fur baby! He’s 5 weeks old, super-soft, and totally adorable! However, my every waking and sleeping moment has been dominated by his need to eat, potty, play, and sleep. Ironically, it didn’t take me long to sober up from our family puppy craze as I took him outside to potty at 12, 2, and 4 am our first night with him. I had forgotten how a new puppy is having like a new baby! [sigh] Let’s just say there haven’t been too many spare moments to sit and write lately. And boy, have I missed it!! In ... Read the Post...

Give Us Bread
"When the seven years of plenty which had been in the land of Egypt came to an end, and the seven years of famine began to come, just as Joseph had said, then there was famine in all the lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread. So when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried out to Pharaoh for bread; and Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, 'Go to Joseph; whatever he says to you, you shall do.'" Genesis 41:53-55 NASB Recently I had some people over for supper. And when asked, "What can we bring," I immediately knew what I wanted. Bread!
