Persuasion, manipulation, encouragement…call it what you will. Just eat your greens!
Some may call it manipulation but I call it the art of gentle persuasion. 😉 Gentle encouragement, strong encouragement, gentle persuasion, narrowing down the choices... call it what you want. I just want to get the greens down! A few years ago I made my family drink...

Are they bored?

Firestorms 2009
I feel sick. Nauseous. A churning in my tummy that just won't go away. Two weeks ago, on was supposed to be our first day back at lessons, my brother-in-law passed away, after a long, difficult illness. Last Sunday, a service was held in the gardens to celebrate and...
Teaching Our Children How To Give Compliments

In between comings and going, sicknesses and computers that don't want to play nicely I never did get around to writing about our holidays. It's a ll a bit of a blur now but I still want to talk a little about it. A few days before we set off to Broken Hill, Miss R's...
Relationship or Religion
To do what is right and just is more pleasing to ADONAI than sacrifice. CJB I'm a simple kind of gal. I love the poetic richness of the KJV but there are some times when I like to read other versions of the Bible as well. I've found it helpful in my walk as a believer...
