The powers of the world threw their worst at Jesus and thought they had defeated Him. It is on this day, that we celebrate their [...]

All:
Two events have occurred: I’ve taken a new job (minor), and my mother has become very, very ill (major). I won’t be around for a bit until the dust settles here. I’ll post when I can, but at the moment, I have to spend my time and thought elsewhere.
Paddio, I’ll be back when I can.

Yeah, great (He says sarcastically) but that means I have to either stay away for 6 or so hours or be locked in the dungeon for the duration of giggly festivities.

They arrived a couple of weeks ago and have been languishing in the freezer, with the plan being to serve some of them as the bread entry with our makeshift Christmas dinner. Our friend Toni was coming for dinner, finding herself kidless and working [...]

Christmas is such a great holiday. It’s a little different for everyone. There are great traditions that families develop over time and pass down each year.

Most of us don’t know the horrors of war. We do not see the chaos in our country that is so common in other nations around the world. This is thanks in large part to the sacrifice of our veterans over the many decades of our nations history.

Sorry. Thanksgiving is fair game when we get to November. In case you just woke up from a long nappie poo, its now November. So what are you planning to serve or eat for Thanksgiving Day festivities? Which as we all know, can last longer than 24 hours in most households. The comas alone can [...]
