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.

The Worst Dishes Ever

Thanksgiving is only days away now and visions of succulent turkey, creamy mashed potatoes, homemade gravy, and moist stuffing are dancing through our heads.  However, holiday feasts also bring out those dishes that are made but once or twice a year, some to our delight, and others--not so much. The delightful list for me includes pecan pie, homemade stuffing, and turkey (with some crispy skin). Yup,it's all stuff that will clog your arteries in a heartbeat. Since it's once a year, I think the indulgence is totally permissible. My doctor may say otherwise, but really now, it's Thanksgiving. These decadent dishes are certainly not found in our weekday menus--at least not mine. However, there are some dishes that make it to the Thanksgiving table that should've been left in the kitchen or in the best case scenario, never made at all. Here's a quick list of what NOT to make next week. 1. Jell-O salads. I know, I know. They're traditional. But green gelatin ...

The Wild World of Condiments

When you bite into that burger, what's on top of it?  Ketchup, mustard, salsa, relish, onions, cheese? All of the above? None?  I love condiments of all kinds, all ethnic persuasions, colors, textures. They add the zing to whatever I'm eating. As a kid, ketchup was my number one favorite. It goes well on most anything. Ask my Aunt Nita who was a real rebel back in the day and put it on her eggs. I was mildly shocked at this as a child, but followed her example and found it to be pretty tasty. Now I prefer salsa and cheese on scrambled eggs, but nothing can replace ketchup on a myriad of foods. So what's a condiment? It comes from the Latin word "condimentum" which means seasoning. I can see my Latin teacher standing to cheer on this one. I should try to decline the noun, but I'm not sure if I'd make it. All good words come from the Latin, which is common knowledge, sort of like "all words come from the Greek" (My Big Fat Greek Wedding).  Diction...
