Scripture Sunday: Psalm 51:12

"Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and make me willing to obey you." -Psalm 51:12 I love this verse, not just because the first part is part of a song, but because of the second half of the verse, "Make me willing to obey you."  Some of you might think that this is just allowing God to control us, but it's not.  I can tell you that, in my life, I pray often for God to make me want to do what's right.  It's not easy to do what's right, because sometimes sin looks so much more appealing and we…

Goal Setting: Week of August 9, 2015

Thursday’s Recipe: Copycat Starbuck’s Double Chocolaty Chip Frappucino Recipe

So last week I wanted to keep the kids busy, and I was simultaneously in the mood for a Double Chocolaty Chip Frappucino from Starbuck's.  I hate coffee, so this is the only drink I will ever have from Starbuck's, but it is amazing.  And I wanted one.  Like now.  But...we don't really have the extra $5 sitting around, so I decided to whip one up on my own.  I've made them again twice since then and I'm planning on doing it again today--they are just.  So.  Good. If you're addicted to these things like I am, try out this…

Work-in-Progress Wednesday: Things to Look Forward To

Today I am frantic, scrambling to get things done that need to be done while certain kids are away with certain grandparents.  There's so much to do, and there's so little time!  I hope I'm not the only one who feels that way.  Regardless, my hope is to publish a couple of posts ahead of time.  Here are some things for you to look forward to in the next couple of weeks, along with the usual Scripture Sundays, Work-in-Progress Wednesdays, and my Saturday goal-setting: Copycat Starbuck's Double Chocolaty Chip Frappuccino Recipe coming TOMORROW, Thursday, August 6th A Review of TobyMac's…
