"My name is Nancy, and I'm a people pleaser." While this confession is not as dramatic as admitting an addition to drugs or alcohol, it has the potential of being debilitating if allowed to distract your work and ministry. I would probably need to see a therapist to get to the bottom of why I'm such a people pleaser because I don't know when or why I jumped on that roller coaster of trying to make everyone happy all the time!

"Where sin abounded grace did much more abound." Rom. v: 20.
We find in nature a beautiful approximation to the truth declared in this verse, a sort of parable and symbol of the glory of redemption. It is this. Go into the woods and cut a wound in the side of a living tree, and then go back again a few years later and see how the tree has endeavored to heal its wound and restore the breach by a very beautiful reproductive force. The notch in the trunk is all grown up again. Not, however, with the old fibres, but with far stronger materials; and you will find the grain of the wood interlaced and twisted across the old fibres in a sort of tangle, which all your efforts would frequently be found unable to cleave asunder. In fact, the healed breach is much stronger than any other part of the tree, and nature has not only made good the loss, but far more abundantly brought good out of it.

When I saw this video, I knew I had to add it to our Pass-It-Along series. It is just...well, see for yourself!

A "Pass-It-Along" is defined here as anything worth "passing along" to friends, family, co-workers, etc. Some I receive as email; some I find hither and thither on the web. Enjoy and pass it along!

Hillbilly Housewife is a site well worth a visit in these times of rising food prices. The focus here is on low-cost, home-cooking from scratch. The recipes are all tested in a real kitchen with hungry children, stalking cats, begging puppies and a playful husband underfoot. The ingredients are affordable and readily available in most areas.

I hope you enjoy this version of "How Great Thou Art" by Chris Rice as much as I do. It is from his album Peace Like A River and is free to download at FreeCCM.com.

ecently, on a day much unlike any other day, I was driving home from the store with my little family. I was in a hurry to get home as a rather ominous looking storm was rapidly approaching us. I whipped our little car out of the Meijer parking lot and started down State Route 309 toward Delphos, hoping to circumnavigate the storm. As we approached the stop light ahead, my wife asked if we could take the "country" way home. I argued briefly but reluctantly surrendered to her request and turned north toward Gomer and directly into the blackness that soon engulfed our little car. Our car, being the magnificent piece of technology that it is, doesn't have a working fan, so when the windows get fogged up, like happens in a thunderstorm, we have to do the "roll and wipe" (roll down the windows and wipe off the inside of the windshield). I became very angry to have had to deviate from my plan just to get caught in the middle of a thunderstorm with my window down, getting drenched, and wiping the fog off the inside of the windshield, but then I noticed something.
