Chicken Wing Broth is an easy substitute for simmering a s...

Crossing that imaginary line is easy. One visit to the hospital or one major problem with the car will return the whole family to poverty. We should want all families to feel secure with a l...

Happy 2018. Long time readers may remember, I like to start the new year by sorting out my pantry, making plans to use items nearing a pull date or donating to the food bank so they don’t go to waste. Of course past dated items get tossed out, but I am happy to report I found no such items this year. I encourage you readers to do a pantry sort out as well. Not having unusable or unwanted items cluttering your cupboards makes meal preparation easier. Donate unopened n...

People in the community have also been praying for God’s will to be done (or, as some people have told me, praying that God’s will be that we stay!). Over the cours...
