10 Minutes in the Word: Proverbs and a Place of Respite

Let's face it, life is busy.  No ifs, ands, or buts.  Yet, there's nothing like a little meditation to relax the mind, body and spirit.

Sometimes I kick back and relax with a warm mug of my favorite chai tea.  Sometimes I join a friend at a yoga class and other times I just relax in my comfy chair with a good book.  Calming my spirit has been a focus of late with so much going on in my life.  I'll be honest Summer 2018 wasn't the best for me.

My faith has really helped me as I navigate the challenges the year has thrown my way.  There were several quiet moments I sat in prayer just praying for the strength to stop crying. My mind was cognizant my tears were doing little to remedy the hurt of my current situation. My heart at times felt broken.  My body weak. The emotional battle was taking a toll on me physically and spiritually.

The Bible has always been a respite for me.  I escape in its tales of courage, hope, perseverance and wisdom. The Book of Proverbs has always been a source of encouragement for me.  One of my favorite proverbs is found in Proverbs 2:12 which the writer writes "Wisdom will save you from the ways of wicked men, from men whose words are perverse."  

In the book 10 Minutes in the Word: Proverbs ten minutes is all you need.  Each chapter covers some of the Book of Proverbs and eliminates the whole "I'm too busy".  C'mon, it's just 10 minutes.

Maple and Brown Sugar Air Fryer Bacon

I've been raving about my Instant Pot but now I have a new favorite... the Air Fryer.   O M G This thing is amazing!  I don't know why I was so late to the Air Fryer craze but I am so glad I am finally onboard.   I've been talking about getting one and then after my aunt posted pics of her new air fryer, that was it off to Best Buy I went.   I wasn't sure how big of a unit I would need but I figured the 2.5 liter would suffice.  I chose the Chefman Express.  It was priced on the shelves for $85 but online for $75.99 and my local store matched the price AND I had my Swagbucks Best Buy QR code so I got 500 SBs + 2 SBs for every dollar spent so that's another 170 SBs.  So, after discounts, my air fryer ended up costing me less than the sale price.  Woohoo! There were some fancy ones on the shelves with digital display but after checking the reviews I figured since I don't fry much this model would suffice. When I think of fried foods, I think

Here’s your chance to start the new year off with a win. One lucky Three Boys and an Old Lady blog reader will receive a $15 Walmart eGift card. $10 may not seem like a lot but it’s enough to stock up on some last minute Christmas clearance gifts. Trust me. I bought a 6’ Christmas tree WITH lights, 2 animal massagers, 3 Jelly Belly BeanBoozled Jelly Beans Mystery Bean Dispenser, Christmas cards and wrapping paper less than $20 during an after Christmas Walmart shopping trip. I was searching for some cough syrup when my friend’s kid spotted the Jelly Belly BeanBoozled Jelly Beans Mystery Bean Dispenser on sale for 50 cents. What a steal! The regular price is $10 so to find them on sale for 50 cents was a deal. We cleared the shelves. A few rows down we spotted some anima

A Pit Stop at Sho Nuff Hot Tamales in Greenville, Mississippi

My cousin and I were driving along and our tummies were rumbling as we crossed the Mississippi state line on US-82.  We didn't really have any particular dish in mind for lunch but we started seeing signs saying "Hot Tamales". "Hot Tamales", my Philly cousin asked. "Yep", I replied nonchalantly.  "I remember reading something about hot tamales being a big thing here in the Delta."   We kept driving and finally decided we would have to try these famous Mississippi Delta hot tamales. Now to decide which one.  There were literally dozens of tamale spots.  We happened upon a restaurant called Sho-Nuff and decided it was the one. We parked and entered the large, delightfully decorated restaurant.  The wall was plastered with local and national awards in recognition of those hot tamales.   There was a sign touting Sho-Nuff as the winner of the local newspaper's favorite restaurant award and 3rd place winner in the annual  Delta Hot Ta
