Wisdom of the Sadhu (Book Review)

What value is earthly wisdom? Who is God? Can you say you are a Christian if Christ has not changed your life? Sundar Singh was an incredible man whom I had never heard of until I read this book. His writings address life’s most urgent questions and he challenges all believers, particularly Christians in the […]

McFarland USA – A Movie You Do Not Want to Miss

When my seven-year-old daughter and I sat down to watch Disney’s McFarland USA I had no idea what I was in for. I had not seen a preview and I gathered from the movie poster that the movie was about running. Since I love both Disney and running, I figured I would probably like the movie. […]

Peach Faced Loved Birds

I have often shared how much I love Arizona. We have beautiful falls, amazing sunsets, and great weather 9 months out of 12. As a bird lover, though, I often regret the lack of colorful feathers in my trees and cacti. But Arizona has a growing population of peach faced love birds. They have been hanging […]

Rugged Bluetooth Speaker – Braven BRV-1

I usually listen to music in my yard while I am gardening or shooting my bow. I use my phone to play the music since my stereo is in the house. The problem is that my phone has the worst speakers ever. I had been thinking about purchasing a Bluetooth speaker to use in my […]

Big, Fat, Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

I was just about to give up on chocolate chip cookies. I had experienced a few too many dozens of flat or sub par results from the traditional chocolate chip cookie recipes found on bags of chocolate chips, in cookbooks, and on the Internet. I had simply had enough. But I was facing a bag […]
