The Quest for the Perfect Tote Bag

I started a quest to find the perfect tote bag for when I go on weekend trips.  I have a nice suitcase that is good for long trips but I decided that I really didn't need to pack enough stuff for a week when I am only going on a trip for two days.  So I decided to go to the store and see what was out there.  I needed to go to Wal-mart anyway so I thought I would see what king of luggage and totes that they had, Wal-mart had nice suitcases that were the same size or larger than the one I had or they had open tote bags that you can buy in the purse aisle.  I am wanting a bag that has wheels, but is about the size of a duffell bag.  I then went to Ross and found a nize bag that had the features I was wanting, but I wanted to check a few more stores before buying something to see what options I had.  So the next day I went to a few more stores with the same results that Wal-Mart had, either the bags were too large or open without wheels.  So I head back to Ross to buy the bag that I liked originally and wouldn't you know it someone else had purchased it.  I did find the perfect scrapbooking tote that I would like to have, but I really didn't need a scrapbooking tote at that point in time.  So the quest continues to find the perfect size tote bag.  I am headed down to see my boyfriend this weekend so I will check at Target and see what type of luggage they have (the closest Target to me is two hours away).

Our words make a difference

Growing up, were you ever told, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all?"  I remember being taught this when I was pretty young.  Our words matter and if we can't say something nice, it's better not to say anything.  In today's world, especially with social media, it seems that a lot of people have forgotten this message or maybe were never taught it to begin with.  Another childhood saying was "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me."  Unfortunately, this saying is not true either.  Words can cause lasting damage that is very difficult to overcome. We need to be mindful when we are speaking that our words are used to encourage and uplift one another and not used to destroy each other.  There is a scripture verse that I have been meditating on this week and it is listed below.  It states that our conversation needs to be seasoned with salt, but also full of grace so that we know how to answer ...

Perfect Tote Bag

After searching for quite awhile I have finally found the perfect tote bag.  I wanted a small tote that I could take as a carry-on if I fly or that would be an easy bag to take if I was going out of town for just a weekend and did not need to pack for a week (which I am really good at doing even when not necessary).  So I started a search and went the rounds of all the stores in town to see if I could find something that I liked that was a good size.  I wanted a tote that was on wheels and had a handle so I didn't have to carry it all the time, but one that was smaller than my suitcase that I normally take when I go out of town.  So finally after going the rounds of all the stores several times, I have finally found the tote that is just right for me.  It has a handle, is not very large (but large enough to take everything that I will need) and it has wheels.  I am also pretty sure that I will be able to take it as a carry-on when I fly to Boise in a couple...

Jarius' Daughter

I was praying for healing for some people the other day and the thought kept coming to me, if God can raise Jarius' daughter from the dead and heal the leper from leprosy, there is nothing that He can't do.  I decided to look up the story of Jarius' daughter because it has been a while since I have read that.  There were a few things that really struck me when I was reading this passage this time.  This passage is found in Luke 8:40-56 and Mark 5:22-43 Now, I have been raised in the church and heard this story several times through my life and I am raising my kids to read the Bible now.  Sometimes, I feel like when I read the Bible, "How could you not have faith and not believe when you could see what was happening right in front of you?"  Did you realize that at this time in history, it had been 400 years since a prophet of God had been seen?   Now that is something amazing to me.  400 years since any miracles had been performed, yet these people...
