Happy New Year! I’ve decided to continue the prayer booklet printables this year, and have your January one ready! As I make these, I’m tweaking them a little to make them even more useful. Each half page printable includes areas for gratitude, specific prayer categories, and self examination questions from an old book from the…
I had such good feedback from you about the October prayer printable, so I made a November one for you and will make a December one too! The front of this printable has a self-examination question on the front (from an 1800’s book) and a lot of space for tracking what you are thankful for….
I’m always experimenting and trying new things in different seasons of life, which is how my Prayer Binder came about. There have been seasons where I just about wear it out, then there are seasons where I want to write or journal things and I use a notebook. But for the last month I’ve been…
My friend Heather made a prayer binder a few years ago in a workshop I taught and has been using it ever since. I asked her if she would mind sharing her thoughts with us on her prayer binder and how it has helped her pray more consistently. Introduction Heather: My husband and I met…

I was recently talking to a friend whose daughters were going to stay with family for a week and she would have some time to herself after work each day. There were lots of things she could do like we all could when we find ourselves with our children at a summer camp or VBS…
Week 11 brought in some sunny days and more rain here in Oregon. But on the sunny days we got to work on the garden expansion for Zombie Bottoms Garden (started in March 2020, when it seemed like Zombies could be a legitimate threat).
I have had my prayer since about 2014. I don’t use it every day, but it is the main backbone of my prayer time. I love it. It’s messy. It’s well used. and much loved. Recently I tried something new with it. The cool people call this a “hack.” I call it “carrying a person through…
