Adventures in Christianity

Anyone who has read my other blog (Casper's Aneurysm Odyssey) will probably know by now that I've been dealing with weight issues (along with the aneurysm). I've been so concerned about those blasted 30 lbs, that it had almost become an obsession. Today, I weighed in and found that I had gained 1.25... Sign in to see full entry.

I live in an area surrounded by mountains. This is the northern part of California's Wine Country.

For those of you who have ever felt that you’re working for nothing – that all your efforts are in vain – I offer this testimony. You see, I once felt the same way. I was going through some pretty tough times. I got paid twice a month, and by the time my bills were paid, there was very little left... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi to all! Before I begin, let me give a bit of introduction. My name is Elaine, and I'm a happily-married Christian woman. This is the second marriage for my husband and I, and it's been a honeymoon of almost 2 years so far. God is great! I had planned to use something previously-written for this...
