Thoughts on daily life and ponderings of faith
Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Matthew 7:1-2 This is one of the most quoted verses of the day and it is often misused. I have a story and admonition that go [...]
Today we made turkeys using the boys’ hands and feet. The idea came from FamilyFun. Both boys enjoyed it, especially our 7 year old!
Today I have way too much to do, so I shouldn’t be blogging and I shouldn’t have stopped to make cookies! But I did. I made my absolute favorite cookies while waiting for the laundry to dry and supervising my kids school project. Last week I made these cookies for the boys to take to [...]
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, Romans 3:23 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God.

For the month of November, they give out prizes. This year there are some good prizes, like a $50 Visa gift card! So [...]
Pretty song, pretty dance from one of my favorite groups!
The past few days have exhausted me and there is one battle in particular in which I am feeling worn down and weary. At times like this I am often very thankful for a teaching I heard in my college days. I don’t remember who taught the lesson. I only remember that the passage was [...]
One thing that has come up several times recently is whose family I am part of. My last name is Quinlan. I have a husband and sons with the same last name. For earthly purposes, this is my family. My maiden name was Patterson-Woody (which is, in itself, a long story). Here on earth, I [...]
