Rosa Parks is well known for being one of the participants of the Montgomery Bus Boycott in Montgomery, Alabama, but she did more than just refuse to give up her seat on the bus that day. She stood with conviction and bravery in the face of adversity during a time when the color of your skin determined your status in society.  Let's hope that we can eventually learn from the history of brave men and women; no matter your skin color.

There are so many ways to correspond with loved ones or friends. My favorite way is through the art of letter writing. I love the creativity and depth in which a letter can be written. In today's episode I chat about the many types of letters and why letter writing is making a comeback. 

One book I thoroughly enjoyed in which the character told her life's story in letters is the book titled The Diary of Mattie Spencer by Sandra Dallas. 

I would love to read letters from my listeners. If you would like to tell your story in letter form, you can send me a letter to:

One of my favorite tools for letter writing is a fountain pen. You can find many varieties of fountain pens at Ellington Pens. 

There are times when our day is dark, our journey hard, our life in turmoil. The writer of Psalm 119 had such a day and most likely many of them, yet in the midst of the darkness he was reminded of who God is and what God could do in his life. The writer's devotion to the Lord is evident. His desire for that closeness in God is a surety. It can be the same with us. Take the time to devote to the study of Psalm 119. 

Our Book Club, The Literary Ladies Book Club, recently read the novel Jane Eyre. I never realized that it was so full of timeless wisdom. Join my Special Guest Ericka Potter and I as we discuss this timeless classic.

I am so glad you stopped by. Each week I will bring episodes on Biblical topics, homesteading and homemaking ideas, old age wisdom, and more. So stay tuned and please subscribe so that you can enjoy hearing a new episode each week. 

In 2 Chronicles 7 Solomon dedicates the first temple to the Lord. The principles in this account were made known to the nation of Israel and yet we can bring them to light in our nation and our own personal lives. This passage comes with covenant promises that are conditional. When we draw near to God in repentance he will forgive and heal our land and our lives.  

Over the years this podcast has gone through many changes. It has been deleted and then restarted. It has had it artwork revamped. Titles have become more precise; all in order to grow and stretch my wings. In this episode I share how I am still changing and what you can expect in the future. Thanks for listening. 

The sourdough starter has been around for thousands of years. Archaeologists have found evidence of fermented dough as far back as 1500 B.C. in ancient Egypt. 

It is a great way to preserve the dough making process. 

It is great for gut health. 

Baking bread also a way to enjoy a beneficial and relaxing activity. 

I have had my sourdough starter for almost a year. Below is the recipe that I was given and use to make my own batches of delicious and nutritious bread. 

Rustic Sourdough Bread

1 cup fed starter

1 1/2 c. lukewarm water

2 tsp. yeast

1 Tbsp. sugar

2 1/2 tsp. salt

5 cups flour of your choice ( you can mix an unbleached flour with a wheat flour for more nutrition) 

Combine all and knead to a smooth ball. Let rise 90 minutes in oiled bowl. Divide into 2 loafs. Let rise in bread pans for 1 hour. Spray with water and slash design with bread knife. Bake at 425 degrees for 25 minutes. 

For Starter: feed weekly

Combine 1/2 cup flour and 1/4 cup water. Stir and let rest for 24 hours. Use or refrigerate. If in fridge, take out and place on counter to bring to room temperature. Never put in a sealed container. Cover with a coffee filter or cheese cloth to let gases escape. 

Isaiah was a major prophet in the Old Testament who was used by God to warn and hopefully steer the nation of Israel back to God. He warned them about their wicked ways and he brought a promise; if they would repent, then their sins would be washed away and they would be made clean. We have that same promise; repent and be made clean.
