Health Update – OR – How Charles Dickens Almost Killed Me
Where to even begin? I know, we’ll do it like this: This one is sick. He feels awful and he’s been running a steady fever of about 100.4 for three days now. Mr. Steady, that’s my man!! This one feels pretty good. But who can blame the kid for hanging out on the…

Dirty Air Inside and Out
I know that’s not a very pleasant sounding title, but it’s the truth in and out of my home today. We have the windows open and are letting in lots of good, cool air; but the skies outside are not blue. They are quite hazy and brown and the air looks very dirty. I am…

Providential Wrist Sprains?
I love when the Lord’s hand is readily obvious in my daily life. It’s always been so, of course. I think of that Michael. W. Smith song, “Open the eyes of my heart Lord, open the eyes of my heart, I want to see You.” Do you make that your daily prayer? I try to,…

Just The Facts, M’am
Many of you, okay, most of you, are probably too young to remember the old tv show Dragnet. I can still hear Jack Webb’s voice, “Just the facts, M’am” when the crime victim wanted to go on and on about all of the little details that seemed important to her. That’s how I feel now,…

What’s On Copper’s Table This Week
I am home from church. Again. This week everyone but my husband is sick. He was healthy and well and we all decided that the best way for him to stay that way was to go to church without us! We’ve been taking it easy, for the most part, but I was able to…

Cherokee Casserole Recipe
I don’t know why this is called “Cherokee” Casserole, but that’s the name I’ve always had for it. We used to be big casserole eaters, and this was one everyone liked. While I don’t make them as frequently as I once did, we do enjoy a good, hearty casserole from time to time. When my parents were both…

Recipe – Lisa’s Stuffed Loaf
Many of you prayed faithfully these last few months for my friend Lisa, and that the Lord would keep her sweet baby, Grace, safe in the womb until His time. As I mentioned earlier, Grace was born earlier this week and she is a healthy, beautiful baby girl! I saw her for the first time today. It…
