"Common Ground": my little corner of the blogosphere where I talk (a lot-wink) about the things that matter most to me: My relationship with my Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ, homeschooling, adoption, homemaking, parenting, "spousing." (yeah, yeah....I know that's not a word.....I made it up-it’s my blog-I can do things like that! Ha!)

Since my life isn’t all that different from yours, hopefully we can find some COMMON GROUND & learn from each other. Please share your thoughts!

Through the Lords’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not.

They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness!
Lam. 3: 22 & 23

A Prayer for our Nation.....on the eve of this historic election.

from "My Country 'Tis of Thee."


Our Father’s God, to Thee,
Author of liberty,
To Thee we sing.
Long may our land be bright
With freedom’s holy light;
Protect us by Thy might,
Great God our King.



"19 Then Daniel praised the God of heaven
20 and said:
"Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever;
wisdom and power are His.
21 He changes times and seasons;
He sets up kings and deposes them. "
Daniel 2:19-21


Even though I believe that God is ultimately in charge of who wins the election tomorrow,
I believe two things:

1. It is my responsibility to vote & vote responsibly.
God placed me in a country that allows it’s people to choose their rulers…..
& though He knows the outcome already (it’s kinda like prayer),
He still wants me to use the privilege He has granted every citizen in this country.

2. No matter who wins tomorrow,
I have a responsibility to pray for those who end up in authority,
“that we may lead a quiet & peaceable life
in all godliness & reverence.”
2 Timothy 2:2


Anyway, if you haven’t already, go vote tomorrow…….
& may God continue to bless America.
