I must suffer if I lose it, Give account if I abuse it, Just a tiny little minute, But eternity is in it. Dr. Benjamin E. Mays This poem was recited by our coach at boot camp today and i thought I would share it here. It's so incredibly interesting how we perceive a minute. This morning, while we were (suppose to be) doing a plank for a minute it seemed like the longest minute I've encountered all week. But later, while enjoying time with my family, 30 of them went by in a snap! How are you viewing your minutes; all the ones God gave you? Are you wishing some of them away? Wishing you were doing anything but the thing God placed you right in the middle of? When you have those encounters just remember this poem by Dr. Benjamin E. Mays. Eternity is in it.

Eggs Cochon (Eggs benedict with tender, melt in your mouth apple braised pork) cooked to perfection with a smooth, creamy hollandaise sauce atop a tender bisucit and just perfect poached egg.

I had an appointment to give blood for some routine evaluations and made a plan to meet my best friend afterwards. Because....fasting blood work. Enough said. While in the waiting room of the lab I received a text from Bestie recommending this restaurant for our brunch date. It was close. I was hungry. I said yes. Truly, I am glad I did. Bestie has some good suggestions. This one was a winner! I arrived early. Pu...
My first book review! Genre: YA Dystopian Author: Nadine Brandes Series: Out Of Time Title: A Time To Die (Book #1) Overall Rating: 🌟🌟🌟 From time to time I will read books to try them out for recommendation to my daughter or her friends or maybe even the students in my classes at co-op. This is one of those books. I mostly read fluff type novels for entertainment but occasionally will pick up a YA dystopian to break up the reading list a bit. I checked this book out of our local e-library and read it on my Kindle. I finished the book; that's a plus. It took me several chapters to get into this novel. I don't normally give books too much of my time to convince me to stay with them if they don't appeal at first but I felt like this one had something there that made me push through the first few chapters. In the end I'm glad I did. Here's a summary of the book from Goodreads : How would you live if you...
