Heaven is for Real

Children haven't developed the refinement of "tact" and usually what they have to say is brutally honest.   Today I heard a radio broadcast (twice) on Haven Today, an interview with Colton's dad as he recounted the toddler's statements of his experience while undergoing an appendectomy.  What Colton saw, who he met, and what he did while in heaven - plain and simple, matter-of-fact. Thanks Colton :)

Celebrating

Father's Day weekend, graduations, weddings, anniversaries, birthdays...

Many things to celebrate and commemorate during the month of June.   Celebrating people in our lives that have helped form us into who we are today.  We take a moment to look back at where we started.  Where are we today, a year later or a lifetime later....

Milestones can serve as checkpoints on the journey.  June 2011 - commemorating a new mile... 
whether a challenge or a celebration, 
whether to continue or correct

but more than likely, all of the above. 

(...knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; ⁴ and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Rom. 5: 3-4)

Meatless Mondays on the Moooove

Entering the end-of-the-year potluck, I viewed the tables filled with all varieties of food.  Making my way over to the tables with my dish, "Gloria, please tell me it's meatless!" I was happy to reply, "yes, it is!"

I am not vegan, nor vegetarian, but wouldn't mind, at least once, twice, three times a week.  I'm not alone. Many people around the world are embracing Meatless Mondays as a lifestyle.  According to Martha Theus, author and CEO of 21st Century Vegetarians, the entire country of Belgium observes Meatless Mondays with many other communities also making the mooooove.  

Think it's just an 'eat your veggies' day? This mouth-watering, meatless Memorial Day meal may make your Mondays meatless! Click link for BBQ Chik:
