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.

Victim of Circumstances?

 The article below has been getting a lot of hits lately, and I thought it may be time to repost it. A couple of weeks ago, I took the picture below. I thought it pretty much sums up our life journey. We never know what's around the corner for us.  Circumstances change in seconds some days. Whether the circumstances of life are good or bad, we're fond of blaming them for how we behave and think. Here are a few of the well-used excuses:  "I'm a victim of circumstances.""The situation is impossible." "The circumstances are beyond my control." "Under the circumstances"...fill in the blank. Funny how principles, self-control, and  positive thinking can go out the window when we're "under the circumstances."  And lest you think the author is above blaming circumstances, she is not. I've used most of the excuses above, whether spoken or unspoken.  An imprisoned and wrongly accused Jewish C...

The Castile Knapper

It's always fun to have family members who have a bit of notoriety because of interesting pursuits. My husband's cousin, Ken Wallace is one of those.  Ken is an artist who works in stone as a flintknapper. Flintknapping is the ancient art of shaping tools and weapons from pieces of stone. Knapping was part of the survival skill set of Native Americans. Arrowheads, knives, hatchets, and more were shaped from raw pieces of flint or chert.  Ken knapping at the Wallace Reunion Ken became interested in this process back in 1985. One of his favorite pastimes was searching fields for arrowheads, both of which are pretty plentiful in Western New York. Freshly plowed ground in rural areas often yields many different types of arrowheads since the Iroquois were the original residents of what are now corn fields and cow pastures. Fascinated with how the Iroquois made their weapons and tools, Ken started to try and recreate them. He says a lot of trial and error were involved in the...

Second Chances

Tonight, I'll be teaching a women's Bible study at our little church on the border. We're studying the book of Jonah. It's a familiar Sunday School Bible story, many of us have heard over the years. It's easy to focus on the "great fish" and there have been innumerable debates over the actual "great fish" that swallowed Jonah. However, the fish is a minor player in this book. The real focus of the four short chapters is the dialogue between God and Jonah. God begins the conversation with Jonah, who's a well known prophet in Israel. He tells him to go to Nineveh, a great city in Assyria and tell them that God's judgment is coming. Now the Assyrians were Israel's archenemies, despised and hated by any self-respecting Israelite. There was a reason for this. The Assyrians were unspeakably cruel and wicked. Israel had been captured, plundered, and massacred by these people. Judgment for the Assyrians was probably music to the prophet...
