Advice isn’t always well received, is it? All of the articles I’m sharing this week give solid advice or insights that I’ve needed at one time in my life….or now. I hope some of it is a blessing to you.
Here’s what I’ve been reading:
Let your geek flag fly. Dragon Con for families.
How many places can you see Thanos, the Dread Pirate Roberts, Tinker Bell and zombies all at once? Not many, I’ll tell you that.
Something called Dragon Con is not something that would garner my attention normally. Even though I live with three guys who are into games with lots of orcs, wizards and superheroes, and we watch movies with…well, lots of orcs, wizards and superheroes….I can handle only so much of the nerd-dom.
I’ve known about Dragon Con for a long time. Some of the organizers are friends of ours and Greg went a couple of times when we lived in Atlanta. Still, not something I ever thought I’d be interested in attending myself. I mean, a sci-fi convention is a bit much for me. Little did I know…
Creamy Salsa Guacamole
A perfect avocado is a thing of beauty. I get a little thrill every time I cut in and discover I’ve got one. But I’ll be honest, avocados haven’t always been my favorite.
I really wanted to like them…I just didn’t.
They’ve grown on me in the past several years, though. And now, you’ll find me dishing up spoonfuls of some simple avocado barely mashed with some lime and salt on fajitas, or even just with some tortilla chips. Delish.
And this easy recipe is one of our favorite quick lunches. (And by ‘our’, clearly I mean my husband and I… not my weirdly picky kids).
Food for Thought #39
Like most summers, we have been on the road a fair amount the past couple of months. Between camps, conferences and such, I have felt a bit scattered at times (more than usual, I mean). 🙂
So it should make sense that I’ve been reading things all over the map lately, too, right? This week I’m sharing articles about marriage, parenting, Christian living, and more. All of them struck a chord with me in some way. I hope you find something that speaks to you as well! Blessings, friends.
So you made a decision to change your life at summer church camp…what next?

You went to the classes. Listened to the messages. Sang the songs. And somewhere in the midst of it all, God reached in and tweaked something inside you. You heard Him.
Maybe it was like a lightning bolt to your heart. Maybe it was a tiny seed that He planted and is barely beginning to sprout. It could be a cloudy something that has been in your mind for months, only now it is crystal clear.
Conviction of sin. A call to ministry. Light for the next step. Purpose.
Whatever it is, He spoke and you listened.
Meet cheesecake cups–fresh, fast, and sorta fancy
This dessert just kind of screams fresh. It’s the perfect sweet treat for spring or summer. Everybody loves it, and everyone can make it their own. I’ve made it for Easter dinner for several years now.
Big hit.
It’s also a winner when you’ve got folks who don’t eat chocolate (I know…weird, right?!) And my picky kids even love this.
Like I said, big hit.
And it’s so stinkin’ easy to make, it’s kind of embarrassing.
