Who am I? A wife for almost 40 years. A mom for over 36 years. A sister and a friend, of course. Each of these help describe me. But, even more, I have been a Christian since accepting Him as my Savior when I was 12 years old and, this truth defines each area of my life. I have enjoyed some mountain top experiences but have been through some very deep valleys as well. Valleys of incredible grief and even pits of depression. However, most of my days are ordinary, routine kind of days. But in every one of my days, God has been faithful. He has walked with me whatever the day. He strengthens, comforts, encourages and blesses me with life "most abundant."

A favorite life verse: The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. John 10:10

Why do I write? Though not quite as private as my dad, I am definitely my father's daughter. I find it difficult to share. And to let others in. But I do love to write. I love to put words into sentences and sentences in paragraphs that help express my thoughts. I hope my words help me share my heart. Share the life that God has given me and all that He has done for me and through me. I write with the hope of giving Him at least a bit of the glory He is due.

A verse to guide my writing: That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ. I Peter 1:7

ACV – its Gross!

Note to self….this new diet of mine involves exercise, a lot of salad, and some concoction that includes apple cider vinegar – and is disgusting!! Just to remind myself, I’ve copied these thoughts from the internet:

First let me say that apple cider vinegar is a completely natural product, resulting from the fermentation of apple juice to hard apple cider followed by a second fermentation to apple cider vinegar.
This natural product retains all the nutritional goodness of the apples from which it was made plus it is fortified with the extra acids and enzymes produced during the two fermentation steps.
It’s the sum of all these ingredients that give apple cider vinegar its amazing health benefits.

It is generally believed that the nutrients, enzymes, and organic acids in apple cider vinegar cause weight reduction by acting as an appetite suppressant, by increasing your body’s metabolic rate, by reducing water retention, and by helping you maintain a feeling of well being.

Well, it has worked great for several of my friends and I’m willing to give it a try but, I repeat, it is DISGUSTING!!

  1. oh yes it is an acquired taste for sure. i drink it every day when i remember, lol.
    i put 2 teaspoons in a glass of 8oz of water. then add a little honey to it. it's not so bad then. still not totally awesome, but definitely do-able!

  2. Okay Jen, WHAT is it you're drinking? It sounds SCARY! You'll have to show me when I come up there. I might just give it a try! I'm all for anything to help me loose the baby weight.

    Love you!

  3. Oh dear, I don't know if I could drink it. But you know, you can get to use to almost anything. Give it a chance. I will be waiting to hear how it goes for you, and what if any health benefits you notice. Hugs, Debbie

  4. Oh my friend! Once (during a weak moment) a few years ago, I tried it…GROSS indeed. I don't think I could ever drink it again…I respect you in a whole new way for trying it.

    You asked on my blog about hankie pankies…they are a wonderful, simple delicious little appetizer made from ground chuck, sausage, velveeta cheese, a little garlic powder and party rye or wheat bread. They are perfect because you can make ahead and freeze and pop in the oven for just a few minutes as you need them. Here's the recipe I use (although if you're dieting, this is probably not something you want to try right now!) ; )

  6. Hi Jennifer! It's great to be back at blogging! Been much too long! Not sure I'm woman enough to choke down that concoction…phew!
