Persistent Prayer

I was going to write about fear today, since Halloween is on Saturday...but I realized I couldn't abandon my talk on the armor of God without one important aspect.  I know we've finished putting on every piece of armor, but there's one specific instruction that Paul gives us after explaining the armor.  And that is to pray.  Here it is in Ephesians 6, verse 18: Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere. Notice that your instructions aren't just to pray sometimes--like "God help me…

Goal Setting: Week of October 25, 2015

Well, this week definitely has gone better than other weeks with tasks completed, although I can't say I'm doing very well with the goals that have intangible outcomes.  I suppose that's something I really need to focus on next week.  It probably made a difference that we were busy every single night this week, though things aren't looking much better next week.  Our schedule should open up again in November, so hopefully that will help.  Guess we'll find out!  Well, anyway, here's how I did this week: Spiritual: Devotions (5/7) Designated prayer time (2/7) Mental: Journal (3/7) Read parts 1-3 of Simply…

Slow-Cooker Beef & Mushrooms

I recently made another delicious dish.  This one is a slow-cooker beef and mushroom recipe that I have adapted from 365 Days of Slow Cooking.  Unfortunately my youngest didn't like this, but she's picky anyway.  I personally could not believe how wonderful this smelled all day long and it tasted just as good as it smelled!  As a matter of fact, I'm getting hungry for some right now just thinking about it. We served this dish along with mashed potatoes and a vegetable, which was perfect.  I love slow cooker recipes, and this is definitely one of my favorites.  It's also…
