Do you have days when you don’t want to do anything? I want to snuggle back in bed and read a book.

Scenerio: Amy was told to clean up her piles of toys and papers all over the living room.
I said to Amy, in a harsh tone, “You have all these nice things to play with – toys, markers, papers, beads. I buy all these things for you to enjoy. I don’t want to hear you complain about cleaning up your own messes. These are your good stuff you are cleaning up, I am not even asking you to clean the toilet. Stop complaining, clean it up, or I’ll throw them away!”
Do you like the puppy below? I got it from Amy!
On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday mornings I am the receptionist at the Arcadia office. It’s quiet there, and I use that time to pray and study the Bible. I am thankful to God for providing this quiet time for me while helping Mike at…
Amy says she loves the rain. I don’t. But I am thankful for a roof over my head. Last night, due to the sound of the rain and wind, I kept waking up.

Acts 8:4 “Those who had been scattered preached the word wherever they went.”
The persecution of Christians caused the believers to scatter throughout Judea and Samaria, thus expanded the preaching of the gospel to territories outside of Jerusalem. If not for the persecution, the Christians would’ve been happy building their 3000+ member church in Jerusalem. They would’ve failed to do what Jesus told them to do: You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth, Acts 1:8.
Audrey’s dog Chocolate did fairly well at the groomers yesterday. The last time we went, the pet store called me to pick him up because he wouldn’t cooperate. This time, he did take to this groomer, who is probably more experienced with fisty little dogs.
However, Chocolate was not completely done when we picked him…
Last night, the girls and I were reading the Russian fairy tale of Finist the Handsome Falcon. The Falcon turns into a handsome prince when he comes to visit his beloved beautiful maiden. When her evil sisters found out, they hid knives at the window sill. When he tried to fly through the maiden’s window…
