I spent the weekend working... working when my heart really wanted to sit at my desk and listen to General Conference. I worked on my set for many hours. I worked on creating apple sauce at the request of my daughter. I worked at creating a sugar free apple pie. I worked at harvesting the… Continue reading Putting My Christian Heart to Work Because I Have Been Given Much

More Than Satisfied With “A Savior Is Born -a picture book
I came across the coolest book! Rocks Tell the Story of Christmas A Savior is Born, created by Patti Rokus (don't you love how even her name includes rocks?) has given me a new perspective on rocks. https://www.amazon.com/Savior-Born-Rocks-Story-Christmas/dp/0310764963/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&qid=1533757608&sr=8-2&keywords=a+savior+is+born&linkCode=sl1&tag=rockstellstor-20&linkId=018660172ab1aecedcc921aed82af1c4&language=en_US She used rocks she picked up along the paths of her walks to create stunning pictures of… Continue reading More Than Satisfied With “A Savior Is Born -a picture book

Warriors See the New Day
