Hope for the Hopelessly Unorganized

On Wednesdays I'll be posting some mid-week encouragement and from time to time I'll review a book. Today I'll be reviewing a Bible study entitled Organizing from the Heart. Stephanie Baker, Beth Beutler, and Katrina Whisnant are the co-authors of this 12-week study designed for small groups or for personal study. If you're looking for help to find the steps from unorganized and stressed to organized and peaceful, read on.

Review for Organizing from the Heart

Life can be cluttered, unorganized, and overwhelming. Meals are haphazard. Laundry is never put away or maybe it hasn’t even been washed yet. Our home becomes a dumping area for stuff on the way to another activity. If you desire change that transforms your home into a peaceful and orderly refuge from a hectic world, Organizing from the Heart can help you begin a biblically based journey to accomplish just that.

The authors lead you step by step to change not only disorder to order, but guide you to develop a new attitude about how we take care of our homes and families. Worship, ministry, and training our families to cooperate with home organization are all covered in this practical study. Each lesson has timely and easy to follow applications to keep us motivated and making weekly progress As authors Beth, Stephanie, and Karina are quick to point out, our home is a gift from God. We are stewards of that blessing and are responsible to manage and care for it. In this 12-week study, you’ll find instruction and encouragement in Scripture to gain order without all the stress, along with helpful tips and resources to maintain those new habits.

If you’re ready for a change from chaos and clutter, this study gives you the help needed to a neat, hospitable, and love-filled home.

Organizing from the Heart is available at Amazon in paperback or for Kindle.

Four Ways to Improve Your Pastor

Management expert, the late Peter Drucker once observed that the four most difficult jobs were: President of the United States, a university president, hospital administrator, and you guessed it--pastor of a church. I can hear some of you saying "Are you kidding? He only works on Sundays." Well, that's not quite true, is it? The research shows that pastors are burned out, prone to moral failure (and not just sexual), and their marriages are often troubled. Who in their right mind would want to be a pastor? It's a tough gig, and God most definitely needs to call you to the pulpit. It's not for the faint of heart or the thin skinned. There's also this warning from James: Dear brothers and sisters, not many of you should become teachers in the church, for we who teach will be judged more strictly. James 3:1 NLT The job is 24/7/365, shepherding the flock of human sheep who, if we're honest, aren't great at following. The church is full

Choosing a Puppy for Your Children

"But, Mom the puppies are really cute. I'll take care of it. Honest. We need a dog. I'll walk him and feed him. Pleeeeeese, can't we get a puppy?" The age old parent-child exchange about getting a puppy. The big decision to bring a baby canine into your family. How the passionate promises of feeding, walking, and cleaning up after the puppy pour so easily from your child's lips. You know, however, you'll be the one doing all of the above and more. Of course, puppies are adorable, soft, cuddly, entertaining, annoying, labor intensive, and sleep disrupting. But, most likely you'll cave and get one anyway. Companion dogs are members of the family, and the puppy you add to the mix needs to be a good fit. Emotions run high over that furry, roly-poly critter whose antics can melt the heart of the stone. Take a deep breath and do your homework before making the commitment. Don't get a puppy at Christmastime. The excitement of the holiday will make it

Barbecue Season

It's officially here according to the thermometer at Casa Wallace. Summer is blazing a trail through the desert right now. June is the hottest time of the year, which entices the monsoon season to finally show up. With summer comes barbecue time. Steaks, burgers, chicken, you name it, we'll grill it to keep the heat of the house. Veggies are great too. The smell is my favorite summer air freshener. Every region has its own particular flavor for barbecue. Arizona is famous for that mesquite flavor. I haven't discovered THE Arizona barbecue recipe since we're greatly influenced by Texas. Smoked, slow cooked with a tomato based sauce, and fallin' off the bone, the ribs are finger lickin' good. We're lovers of Memphis barbecue, especially Corky's which is famous for its dry and wet seasoning. The dry rub is wonderful with a little kick to it. It's good on any meat, just rub it in, let it sit a spell and grill. Memphis elevates barbecue to divine hei
