Ouch Holy Spirit Kapow! Convicted over how I spoke to a telemarketer–Good one. “It was one of those days.” One of those days where my heart needed some firm redirection. One of those days where my attitude was getting “a little big for its britches” as my grandma used to say. One of those days where His new mercies were obviously poured out on me as I spent time with Him in the scriptures. He used that time to teach, correct and train. (2 Timothy 3:16)
Large Family Recipes: Easy Pinto Beans
This is one of my favorite large family recipes because it makes a ton of yummy pinto beans that can be mashed up and frozen as refried beans, or left alone and frozen as beans to eat by themselves, added to chili, soups or stews.

Start Where You Are
Have you all read Sarah’s latest post, Living in the Big Picture, Dealing with Present Chaos, and Starting Right Where You Are? Ties in to what I said yesterday (Bible Journaling as Lectio Divina) about the fact that I am not allowing myself to “get behind” in my Read the Bible in a Year plan. I’m setting myself up for success and I think you should too. How? This year, for the most part because I’m sure there are some exceptions, Start Where You Are. Oh yea, and learn to love what must be done.

My One Word: More
I am not new to choosing “My One Word.” I started this practice in 2010 when I thought…well, I thought way too much and scared myself silly. My one word was TRUST. Thinking I had a pretty good handle on trust headed into 2011, I chose JOY. (I wish I had saved some of my old posts from my old blog about my one word.) 2012 was the year of ABIDE. 2013–MODESTY, and 2014–DELIGHT, were kind of duds for some reason–my one word just never seemed to click these past two years. And now 2015 has me choosing My One Word: MORE.
