I just read your article on multi-tasking and it is exactly what I am struggling with right now. You put my life back into perspective and the prayer about not squeezing out the people most important to us. I am reminded that I need to trust God with my schedule, my business, and my life. Thank you and God Bless.

Thank you for your post on multi-tasking. I am always asking my husband why he can’t be a multi-tasker— I guess he’s not wrong about everything… he doesn’t seem as frazzled as I do at the end of the day…. I guess he’s on to something.

Karen,

Loved “A Life that says Welcome” and looking forward to reading this one as well. Getting organized inspires me to
more productive, but staying organized has been a problem. Maybe help is on the way.

Blessings to you,

Pam

Yay! I’m so excited I won the guide, and I promise I’ll share it with the gals in our women’s ministry. Only thing is that I really DO want that snow from your back porch in the package too.

Thank you so much, Karen! Will send you my mailing info … and maybe a scarf!

LOL…living in Canada I always chuckle when I hear so many in the South complain about the cold. It also amuses me when schools there close…for what? My son is in his final year of High School and never has he missed a day due to school closure. It just doesn’t happen here. Buses might not run, but schools never close. I have pictures where I’m standing at the end of our driveway, and the pile of snow lining the edge of the driveway is taller than I am…and that’s 5’2″.

Your pics are so pretty…and make me feel at home.
Stay warm,
Joy

Karen, you made me laugh. Where I live we had our 15 to 20 inches of snow last month. I can only imagine how pretty everything looks covered in sno. Reading the words to this song made me think about how Jesus makes us white as snow. I remember being able to see the snow when I was groing up. When it would first fall it would be so white and so clean just like Jesus makes us.

Dear Sister Karen – I am a Michigander – transplanted from Ohio when I was 21. My husband taught me and our children that you love it or leave it. So we stock up on the winter gear and go out to enjoy it firsthand. I am praising God for our new furnace – the old one was replaced the week after Christmas. For the last number of years, the old, inefficient furnace (burning oil – so thrifty) worked at times, and at times it did not. I had to know how to thunk it just right to get it going again. But now, we are warm enough with our propane boiler (also thrifty, but where we live there is no natural gas). If God provided the furnace, he’ll keep providing the money to pay for the fuel, too, right? Hugs to you.

Beautiful pictures, Karen. Reminds me of the many years I lived in the midwest and had to trudge back and forth in the snow/ice to everything. I also remember standing at the bus stop in sub zero temperatures. Now my blood has thinned out and I’m quite content to be a complaining southern weinie like the rest of them.

Karen, I love these photos and the reflection. I always wish it snowed more here in Charlotte.

I too have always loved how a blanket of snow makes everything look pristine.

I do not, however, love shovelling it. Or how reminants of it wind up on the side of the road all grey and dirty. So I moved to the beach – come visit!
