Fr. Thomas Hopko wrote about this and I am sharing it with you from our parish bulletin. “I think we have to read the New Testament again.” Helen: So often we hear the popular notion that God doesn’twant us to suffer, God wants us to be happy all the time. Fr. Tom Hopko: That’s not…

For the Life of the World: Book Review
I did a mini review of the book we are reading in ladies’ group. I highly recommend it. Find out why. Will you help me grow my Youtube channel? Please visit it, subscribe, hit the bell and ‘Like’ (thumbs up) the video if you do or hit unlike (thumbs down) it’s all good.
No build van-life
This video is of a woman who did not do a build on her van and yet is very happy living this way with what she has. Seems she is either on disability or retirement or both. If you are struggling and looking for alternatives, this might be something to consider. Some democrats, AOC for…
Essential oils and covid-19
I have been interested in, and practicing, holistic wellness long before I knew it had a name. Lately, I have been reading up on Covid-19 and essential oils. Here is an excerpt from one of the papers: COVID-19 has emerged as a very serious threat to global health. Unfortunately, very few medications have been clinically…
Lunch from the pantry
I add hot water and microwave it for 5 minutes at 2 minute intervals letting it rest in between intervals to soak up the moisture. One last blast for a minute and it is hot and ready to eat. Hubby is eating left overs from the Mexican restaurant we picked up two days ago.
Cleaning out the pantry

Victoria magazine book club, Teardrop trailers, and a Homer bucket
What is a ‘Homer’ Bucket? It is a 5 gallon, bright orange bucket sold by Home Depot. We are having major plumbing issues and I have had to use it as my toilet the entire weekend. Oh joy. Perhaps this is God’s way of showing just what to expect should I actually end up living…
Van life, please
Currently, I am reading, Bob Wells’ book: How to Live in a Car, Van or RV–And Get Out of Debt, Travel and Find True Freedom. Ironically, I own one of the most popular vehicles to convert into a camper… a mini van! I used to be absolutely horrified at the idea of living in a…
Thirteen Years Ago
Thirteen years ago, I discovered the Paleo diet. I wish I had stayed with it. I’m going back to it. These days, too many people are using the words, ‘Paleo Diet’ in their writings and recipes and neither what they write nor what they cook have anything to do with eating the paleo way. For…
