Use Alcohol

   Have your white boards seen their better days?  Perhaps, like me, you've tried various cleaning products and/or writing over hard to remove traces of marker with another marker. Well, today, I have a wonderful tip for you.  Use rubbing alcohol. It works!  You're welcome.

Listen to a Sermon

   I was tired and hungry and headed for home after working, when I heard part of a sermon by David Jeremiah on the book of Revelation.  I don't remember a whole awful lot other than the fact that Jews will definitely be persecuted and "Christians are always trying to play pin the tale on the Antichrist"(in other words, name him) and that nobody knows who he is. Hardly seems worthwhile, right?  Wrong.     Let's be honest, how much do we actually recall from a specific Sunday morning sermon (sorry Pastor Doug)? Sometimes, not a whole awful lot.  I do try to remedy that by taking notes.  But, combine that with what you may learn in Sunday School, provided you go, plus, perhaps a Bible study midweek or Sunday evening, the individual daily reading of the Bible, devotionals, and blog posts, and it adds up to quite a bit. So, while I may not have learned a whole lot this evening, if we keep plugging away, it becomes quite a lot.    Herein li...

Tip for the Day - Contact

   John worked with my husband, Tom, for years.  After he retired, they kept in touch from time to time.  In fact, the last time my husband called him was shortly before he died in March.  We didn't know.     Today, my husband received a notice of his memorial service, but it was too late. Sadly, we had actually been in the very town for another memorial service the same day.  We could have easily made both, if we had been aware.    I called his wife to let her know that we were sorry we hadn't made it and to arrange a visit, soon.  That's when she told me that my husband's call, shortly before his death, had meant so much.  She said her husband really missed seeing the guys from work.  A simple call, and yet, a powerful act of friendship.   This evening, while on facebook, a private message popped up.  Years ago, our church had "adopted" a missionary kid.  We remembered her birthday and Christmas, a...

Volunteer

   Want to make life rich and productive?  Volunteer.  Sound too simple?  It's not. There are so many ways one can do so, too.  Volunteering comes in so many packages and can involve so many things.  I think, for example, of the time I volunteered my girls and I to reshelf books for our local library.  That was a minimum time, minimum investment (just the cost of gas) event.  I'm not sure you could actually call it volunteering for the girls,as they had no choice in the matter.  Yes, parents, it is not only ok, but good, to volunteer your kids from time to time.     Since, as a homeschool family, we spent a decent amount of time at the library, this wasn't exactly foreign to us. As I recall, there was nothing new to learn, which is ok, but it is nice if it becomes a learning activity, as well.      I also helped at a government run agency during tax season, one year.  For this, I needed to learn some basic...
