For most females, it starts very early. This God-created desire is seen in our imaginary games, heard in the sweet little lullabies we sing, and even revealed by the toys we choose when we are just wee little girls. We play house, we sing rock-a-bye-baby and we love our baby dolls. The thumbprint of God can be seen in the …
“The Oils of Life” is the phrase Mabel Hale uses to entitle this chapter and it is so descriptive of the unction our interaction with others must have in order to function smoothly.

I hope you’re feeling hungry! One of my biggest desires is to get you, my reader, into the Word for yourself. Seriously, I am not an expert but want to lay my words out in such a way as to lead you to experience for yourself the banquet table of Scripture! I believe to merely read my thoughts on this …
There is something deliciously familiar about my husband. Before you think I might give you TMI, let me explain. We were high school sweethearts that went to different schools.
