God wants us to ask Him to deliver the gift. He wants us to know that all good things come from Him, and … More Principles of Abraham and Isaac for Everyday Use
My son is looking for a cheap car; the budget is $1000. So I decided to hit Craigslist. We don’t need a good looking car, just one that’s dependable. Unlike this alleged seller.

I haven’t blogged in over two months because there is just too much work to do at my house. But I’ve now reached the point where if I don’t write something my head will explode, and that would just be more mess to clean off the walls.

I was never good at sports, mostly because whenever I ran I could never catch my breath. When I did sit-ups, I held my breath.

As we drive into our favorite vacation resort parking lot, I can see the St. Lawrence River down the hill. I take a deep breath and turn my phone off, zippering it into the secret compartment of my purse. Unplugged. That’s how I like to vacation. Although the motel boasts “We have Wi-Fi,” we have … More Our Fifth Annual Unplugged on the St. Lawrence River vacation
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, but first it will cut you open without painkillers, then it will slice and dice you and take a piece out.

Actually, the fruit of self-control will grow as you follow the Holy Spirit’s leading. Ask for His wisdom to show you what is lame in your life. And … More Where are your feet?
Think of Moses, being told to go to Pharaoh to tell him, “Let my people go!” Moses immediately tries to avoid this task. “But Lord, I am slow of speech.” “I’m not good at public speaking.” “Can’t you send someone else?” What other things do we tell God when He tells us to do a … More When God uses humiliation to humble us, and other thoughts
Hi folks. I haven’t been on WordPress for a while, so I will try to bring you up to date on what’s happening in the Porter Universe.

Hi. Bailey here, filling in for Mom today. The big news of course is about me–Mom’s blog readers voted for my “just chillin” picture for my avatar.
