In fact, even with the use of technology and screen time, there are several […]

It is not always easy to find time to pray. It should be. Or at least, I think it should be. But, in my world, it’s not. And that makes me sad. I can’t remember how many times this thought has passed through my mind. Yet, I haven’t really done anything productive to address this […]

Dessert doesn’t get much easier than this. When it’s hot out, the last thing I want to do is to be fussing in a hot kitchen. I love to cook but an overheated Cyn is not a happy Cyn. I want quick, simple recipes keep the kitchen cool. If they cool us off as we […]
