This is WAR! »

The closet is under attack and the good guys are winning!

Still Alive »

I made it through the winter, that is if it’s finally over. I dare to hope!
I will remain scarce here though because I’ve actually started clearing stuff out around this place to prepare for our move.
The closet? No, I haven’t tackled it yet but soon, very soon.
I’m using the Holly motto when purging. I don’t […]

The Folly of Seeking the Benefits »

I haven’t been on my little blog much lately. Instead I’ve been doing a lot of thinking. I’ve thought and I’ve thought and as minutes turned into hours, hours into days, still I could be found thinking about the Christ, Jesus the Christ to be exact.
I’ve thought about the definition of the word Christian, which […]

The list that should be taped to my bathroom mirror and my refrigerator and, well I think you get the picture. »

Just a Little Maintenance »

I’m going to be working behind the scenes right now to upgrade my Wordpress and a few other things. If I accidentally send out a couple thousand emails again well then I’m sorry. Please let it be noted that I am a doofus and also I have apologized in advance.

Ummmmm… Thank You! »

Yesterday, my husband and I had a very intense discussion about […]

Please take the time to watch all three parts (links available when first part ends). You won’t regret it, I promise.
Rick Burgess, the man speaking, is a radio host in the south. Boomama pointed me in his direction.

Talk about glorifying Jesus!

Obedience Begets Obedience »

Cathy sat on my sofa in tears, she could barely recount what had happened.
Her story began a year and a half ago. Her daughter had been living a life of pretense. She would gladly talk about the Lord and what she’d read in His Word but rarely would she apply it to her own […]

The Closet Won Round One »

In the interest of being completely honest… I haven’t purged even one thing from that dern closet. It seems to taunt me the last couple nights as I pass it on my way to bed. The door remains slightly ajar no matter how many times we attempt to shut it. I assume it’s the closet’s […]

You Just Can’t Plan Ruthless »

Dear Journal,
I took a look in the closet this morning and quickly decided that I wasn’t feeling nearly as ruthless as I needed to be. I picked up my cup of coffee and headed downstairs in order to recruit some help.
Hubby said he thought cleaning out that closet was a great idea and that […]
