Children are a gift of God. He has given us these children so that we will nurture them according to His plan. We are to teach our children about God. We are also to prepare our children to live in this world. That is a big job. It is the parents' job. No one else … [Read more…]

This is my grandmother's recipe. My kids would say it is their grandmother's recipe. Well, it's mine now. Since I'm not a big bread maker (I'd eat too much of it), I don't make it often. When I do make it, I like to triple the recipe. Then, I can make rolls for dinner, cinnamon … [Read more…]
