Love Hope Family
There is no one like a sister. Whether she’s your sister by birth, by marriage, or by your own free will to choose, you know she “gets” you like no one else, quirks and all. And she loves you anyway. I have 2 biological sisters, and both live about a 4 ½ hour drive away. One of us feels naked without her lipstick, another dives at peanut butter…
Oh yes, I’ll be the first to admit that I am a hugger! They just make things a lot better, right?! They break down walls that we have put up and help us heal! One Scenario: You married? I know you can relate… For instance, you might walk in the door after work and you already did 50 things wrong! Sure you don’t…

Oh, how I love fairs! Maybe you go for the rides, but maybe you go for the food! Truthfully, I love going for the “gut-bomb” food!! Every summer you can get your “fix” on food that you wouldn’t normally eat year-round. You can be miles away and still smell the corn dogs, mini donuts, and funnel cakes!…

Yes, I’m well aware of the fact that the title is a bit confusing, but that’s how I feel about watermelon. I don’t like it, but yet maybe the single most vivid and delightful food memory of my life has to do with watermelon. I was 13 years old, and my Judo team had traveled to Japan to train at the Kodokan, which is the world headquarters of…

“Honey, where’s the honey?” I asked my husband sweetly. Well actually, I just asked. We’ve been buying our honey locally for the past couple of years, from neighbors who have their own honey business and a set of bees on their acreage (is it called a set? or a hive?). We can buy it raw or processed, and it tastes wonderful either way! I’…
Life is a journey…or so that’s what we always hear. So here’s my question for you, have you ever felt that you have no idea where your road is taking you? One would think if they were traveling on a road, they’d know exactly the destination. I suppose in all fairness, I know my ultimate destination is eternity with Jesus, but I’m talking…

Google can’t deny in the past few weeks, folks are searching for “back to school prayers”. God wants us in prayer. He wants to hear what is in our hearts. Sometimes we know what is on our hearts but can’t seem to spit out the right words. God doesn’t look down on us if we find a written prayer that fits our…
Some 20 volunteers did not know what to expect when they showed up Saturday morning at Cameron Hoverson’s home for the Greater Sioux Falls Habitat For Humanity’s latest Neighborhood Revitalization project. A group gathered in the drive way about 9am greeted by seasonably cool weather, to get instructions to paint…
“Mom, what are those blue spots on the loaf of bread?” my daughter questioned as I was reaching for my morning coffee. Uh oh. I walked over to the counter, plucked up the half loaf with the plastic bag clearly displaying the fuzzy spots of my neglect, and tossed it into the garbage. Summertime for me means fewer hours in the kitchen and…
What would your work day look like if you brought your dog along to the office? Imagine your favorite ball of fur beside you as you meet with clients. Or make phone calls. Snuggled up beside you as you enter data on your computer. A growing number of businesses are allowing employees to bring their dogs to work. A survey of pet owners says…
