Teresa Poucher I recently took up scroll sawing as a hobby. Many scrollers say,“I’m gonna make some dust.” I enjoy it and have made some nice pieces, leaving dust behind, a mess that has to be vacuumed or blown out of the garage.   My husband, brother, sister and I love to repurpose things. IContinue reading “Repurpose”

Teresa Poucher   I love to hear the birds sing.  I get up early before sunrise, sit outside, and listen to the birds.  I find it a wonderful way to start the day — a cup of coffee, the Word of God, and the birds.  It’s peaceful; I feel thankful and happy.     Science will tell us the birds are searching for a mate or tryingContinue reading “Beautiful Sounds”

Teresa Poucher My brother decided to move back to Louisiana after 20 years. He paints and does carpentry. Can I tell you, we are prone to accumulate a lot of stuff? He has at least a dozen guitars as well as a bunch of tools. Guess what? We too are so blessed and have soContinue reading “Making Room”

Teresa Poucher My Mom has an imagination out of this world. She grew up very poor in Germany during WW2. They didn’t have toys, so they used their imagination to play. We also had fun as kids using our imagination. Yet, I don’t know about children today. They are so entertained by their phones andContinue reading “Imagine”

Teresa Poucher LPs, reel-to-reel, 8-track, cassette tape, CDs, and now we have digital downloads and streaming. Even CDs have just about fizzled out.  ‘Seems like technology is traveling at the speed of light.   Many folks want to purchase the newest and fastest iPhone available. The first iPhone processor speed was 412 Mhz. Presently, the latest iPhone can run at 5Ghz.Continue reading “Change of Speed”

Teresa Poucher I shut the door on my dog’s foot almost five months ago. I have been to a few vets and taken numerous trips to the LSU vet school. Four bones in his foot were broken, but only two have healed. Should I amputate my dog’s leg?     Fitting in or feeling like youContinue reading “Spiritual Amputation”

Teresa Poucher I don’t watch CNN or FOX. Why can’t they just give us the facts and let us form our own opinions? While I don’t have a problem with a criminal serving a sentence not being allowed to vote, I can’t say that I’m for or against ex-cons voting. Haven’t they done their time?Continue reading “Should My Vote Count?”

Teresa Poucher In Mark, chapter 11, we read of Christ’s triumphal entry. Jesus sent two of his disciples on a mission to get a colt. The donkey was young and had never been ridden. Jesus told them, as soon as they entered the village, they would find this colt tied up. If anyone questioned them,Continue reading “A Place Where Two ways Meet”

Teresa Poucher   About three months ago, God spoke scripture to me.  All was going well; the prayers, praise, and devotions were flowing.  It seemed out of context.  During uncertainty, things were still going pretty good.   He had spoken the very same words over 30 years ago.  It proved to be a very trying time for several years.    “Be not far fromContinue reading “I Will Never Leave Thee”

Teresa Poucher Everyone knows someone who thinks they know everything, especially about what other people should do. ‘Truth is, no one knows everything about anyone.   My husband is 62.  Should he start taking social security?  Do you feel secure with the economy or your job?  Do you wonder if you should downsize, sell the house, and buy a smaller one?  What should I doContinue reading “I Don’t Know”
