 Homestead Simplicity: A Primer shares helps for the Keeper of the Home! We like to keep it simple around here, and while I also want the best for my family, sometimes striking a balance between the two can be difficult at best. Join us as we share some simple hints, tips and recipes along with a little inspiration to add a little “Homestead Simplicity” to your life! Natural Cleaning recipes, Cooking from Scratch (easily!) planning/stocking your pantry, and loving care for your homestead and those in it!

There are pictures on my blog.

Check this out! Natalie Nyquist Ference is giving a book away this month. Hurry over there and join the fun cause the deadline is the 15th!

There were some changes made on the contest (you can read about them on the site.) and this week is very important! Please vote for Steven's "The Rebuke Yourself Horn" at www.christiancarguy.com/contest. THANKS!!!

Friends,

Please pray for a lady named Helena. She is the mother of one of the ladies in our church, grandmother of some friends of mine. Vó (G'ma) Helena is not doing well at all. She went through surgery in March and came out okay but this past week has gotten worse. The family took Vó Helena to a friend's house who is a nurse so she could keep an eye on Vó.

I'm not just asking you to pray for her in general or for her physical needs (she's old and feeble and there comes a time when you're time here is finished) but what I REALLY want to ask you to pray for is her spiritual condition. She has not yet accepted Christ as her Saviour and I'm very concerned for her. The family, pastors and friends have witnessed to her. She grew up catholic and that teaching has been engraved in her.
 
Please take a moment to pray for Vó Helena to get saved before she passes away. Thank you so much! 

This is what Steven wrote on facebook:

Vote daily to send Steven (ok, me) on a trip retracing the "Steps of Paul" through his missionary journeys!

I was selected one (actually two) of ten finalists for the trip after entering an accessory contest at ChristianCarGuy.com.

This is a bit lame, but basically, here it is:
An over sized button that goes on the horn of your car, so when you can't resist the urge to honk at an obnoxious driver, before the horn goes off, you'll instead hear a voice quoting one of several scriptures, you know, "He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly", or "Let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God."

Something like that.

Anyway, you can vote once per day, per computer, and I would owe you BIG TIME if you would help me out! :)

Besides voting, could you invite friends to join this group? It would be a huge bonus!

Thank you so much!!

Vote for "the Rebuke Yourself horn" here: http://christiancarguy.com/contest

THANK YOU!!!

I am SOOOO happy to be an Auntie again! I am anxious to meet Keegan, as I am Rhys, and Jillian and Ryan! This September will be ten years since Jillian and I started writing to each other and we have never met in person. I am just DYING to meet her and hope it works out soon to get together.

I normally don't crosspost from my blog but rather post the link TO my blog for you all to go THERE. ;) But I thought this post was worth posting on here, too.
