THIS IS WHY WE LIVE HERE..

This past winter our temperatures here in South Central Alaska reached -30 below zero. In between we had LOTS of snow and 40-60mph winds for most of the winter months. I went to the grocery store on one of those terribly windy days, and as another woman and I blew past one another in opposite directions, I screamed above the wind, "Why do we live here?!" She screamed back, "We live here for the SUMMERS!" Once we were safely tucked inside of our respective areas, she in her car and me inside the store, we both turned and waved at one another. I thought, "she's exactly right. We are here for the summers." Just three weeks ago, we had another snowy day, and today it is instant summer. These Tiger Lillies are the first flowers to bloom in my garden this year. Everything is in bloom and the air smells so fresh and clean. The growing season in Alaska is short and ever so sweet, so everything grows fast and huge. Such a privilege to live in a be...

Hear The Cries of The Poor written by Cyndy Wahlgren

"Momma! Stop the car!" The shrill rang out from the back seat. We were late for an appointment that would turn the tide of our lives if we did not make it in time. We had not even a moment to spare. Anxiety pulsed through my veins as the weight of the world bore down on my heart. We had to make it to this appointment. "Momma please?!" The little voice pleaded. "Stop the car and turn around." Not having a clue about this sudden cry, I slammed on the brakes, and spun the car around anticipating some emergency that I somehow missed. "What is it son? What is so important that you screamed like that?" I positioned the rear view mirror to look at my seven-year son. Irritation at this sudden inconvenience bubbled inside of me. There he was stretching his little neck to see over the front seat...oblivious...helpless. "Here, stop here," his young voice instructed me with confidence in my love for him. He had no comprehension of the serious...

Give Them Life

This morning, I read a story which broke my heart. A young boy allegedly beaten to death by his parents. He had left a note which posed the question why couldn't he be given a mommy and daddy who loved him? Wow! Our children are created by God almighty. Each one is unique and a gift to us. Some people mistakingly believe that children and inherently good. This is not so. The bible is very clear about children, Proverbs 20:11 (King James Version (KJV)) 11 Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right. Children will provoke every range of emotion possible to our human souls. Our substance will be tested and tried in ways we never thought possible as we raise these lil' ones to adulthood. AND, I dare say, we will provoke them as well, either intentionally, or unintentionally. However, how very sad indeed to find such a grievous situation as this wee one who wanted to be loved, beaten to death. When children try us an...
