Granola!

One of the things the Staddons have always done is make their own granola! It’s great as a topping, as a breakfast cereal, or even a special gift. Our method of making it has changed in small ways many times and we have tried many different varieties, some of them unforgettable! 🙂 At the present […]

What will Kagan do?

It is troubling when a nominee like Kagan is considered mainstream. Senator Kit Bond of Missouri knows that “The massive expansion of government power we’ve seen over the last 18 months puts our country at a unique time in history”. His bull’s-eye assessment: “Putting a check on activist government power and adhering to our Constitution […]

Pray for the FEW!

“So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen” (Matthew 20:16). Our family is now in Brandy Station, Virginia, helping out with yet another incredible Family Encouragement Weekend! I’ll see what pictures I can take, but our main purposes for being here is to work together in […]

Give Me Liberty!

Hillary Clinton got me thinking recently with a decision she made to support a legally binding international treaty to increase regulations on the gun trade. Just what do you think the Administration is up to now? The disarming of American citizens can be achieved by controlling the distribution of firearms. The best way at the […]

A Wonderful Weekend with a Wedding, a Website, and many Warm Welcomes!

Well, what else is there to say? The title sums up the blessed time Robert and I spent in OKC earlier this month. From Mrs. Marshall’s enthusiastic greeting at the airport and the hospitality of the Gomezes, Burnetts, and Prentises, who all opened their homes for us, to the many friends we had a chance […]

A New Perspective

The climax of our trip concluded with probably the most spectacular activity we could have imagined: a helicopter tour of the city of Callao and the surrounding towns.
