As a preschooler in Sunbeams my favorite Bible verse was Psalm 122:1 – I was glad when they said unto me. Let us go into the house of the Lord. Honestly, this verse is one of my earliest memories. I loved and still love being in the house of the Lord. Sure this verse is […]
It was my month to help with snacks for the Alpha Delta Kappa meeting. I read a bazillion cookbooks and magazines trying to find something a little different to take – something that would also be fun to share with you. (I am just like you. I rely on favorites.) In the end, I choose […]

Here is the tale of how the Living Stones Bible Fellowship Class got to party at Babe’s Chicken Dinner House. In December, First Baptist Church Richardson actually cancelled Bible Study Fellowships on two Sunday mornings during the holidays. We had also had the terrible ice storm during December when people were unable to attend church. […]
