THE CHURCH WHITE LIE CAKE

Have you ever told a white lie? You are going to love this, especially all of the ladies who bake for church events:

Alice Grayson was to bake a cake for the Baptist Church Ladies’ Group in Tuscaloosa, Alabama but forgot to do it until the last minute.  She [...]

[Note:  Have had a very busy week, including being gone all day yesterday to see a neurosurgeon.  Am having to have neurosurgery on Tuesday Feb. 2 on my left arm.  So, for today, an interlude.  Back to Cotter next time.]
Scripture to ponder today:
“But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, [...]

Casting Crowns
Being in the middle generation between an elderly parent and grown children with young families many times – as has been lately – brings about all kinds of family crises.  Add to the mix siblings, nieces and nephews, even a grown grandchild with a little girl of her own and life can become a [...]

I feel very blessed with amazing graces this morning because of all of your heartfelt comments and prayers on my behalf and for Rebecca and our entire family.
One of the biggest blessings came yesterday about noon when Rebecca called me to tell me she’d had a CT scan early yesterday morning, that the abscess in [...]

My dear friends,
I am home (last night at dark) from an eight day, 575  mile (one way) trip alone to go stay with and care for my dear daughter, Rebecca, last week out near Dallas.  She spent nine days in the hospital with a severe kidney infection and belatedly discovered abscess in her right kidney.  [...]

We’ve just returned Monday evening from five days away and were so happy to be home, you know?  I’ll show you some photos below of some of the reasons we so love coming home.
We saw the neurosurgeon in Birmingham (a gorgeous city, by the way – at least the south side where we were) on [...]

[Note:  Sorry I've been "absent" all week.  Had Dr. visits with Cardiologist & Nephrologist, but all is well with my heart & kidneys, so that's good news.  My pinched nerve pain is better, as well, from sitting in traction, so I'm a bit more hopeful about that after 2+ months.  Did I tell you we're [...]

I have gained a new respect for the positive aspects of the internet for Christians as I have gone through this latest health battle with the pinched nerve in my left shoulder blade area from my totally messed up neck.  You all have been a huge part of this thinking on my part.  I’ll talk [...]

Most of you probably haven’t noticed, but I’m working on a new tab at the top of my page here I call "A Home Complete."  I’ve not felt well enough to size many of the photos yet, nor do I feel well enough today to continue with the cliffhanger from last time on "The Great [...]
