Morning Routine

January 26, 2010

Studies have shown that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It affects our energy level, metabolism, focus ability, and health.

December is Spiritual Literacy Month! What a great month to think about our “spiritual literacy” and that of our kids.  Why are we celebrating December 25th anyways?  Is it simply part of “the holidays” or is it something more…?

Quiet Time – AM or PM?

November 30, 2009

The debate is still on over when to have quiet times/devotions.  On one side are die-hard members, official or unofficial, of the “5:00 club” who get up before the sun rises for their quiet times.  There are accountability groups for the 5:00 club and everything.  This has been around for a long time – I [...]

Good Morning (revisited)

September 30, 2009

Sometimes I post about things I’m on top of and feel like I can be a good example of, and other times…… I’m giving myself a much needed reminder.  The latter is the case with “Good Morning.” I am NOT a morning person by nature.  When I was younger and had summers free I’d always [...]
