The Stray Cat Who Chose Me: My Kitten Rescue Story

By
It all started with a stray cat, a beautiful black and gold tortoiseshell. I began feeding her back in April, just leaving some food out for her. By mid-May, she was a regular visitor, and I noticed she was pregnant. My heart just went out to this expectant mother. I made it my mission to keep her well-fed, which, let me tell you, was a task. Her appetite was huge, and she was eating three to four times a day. She practically lived in our yard, a silent agreement that this was her safe space. She'd be there to greet me in the morning and would come and go throughout the day. My indoor cat, Adah, eventually got used to her presence, a big step considering her initial reaction was to lunge at the window. The stray, whom I affectionately started thinking of as “Mama Cat” (I even called her “mama”), seemed to settle in, making our yard her home. As June progressed, she started staying even after sunset, a sign of her growing trust. The dynamic was peaceful, and I was happy to provide ...

A Guide to 'The God You Need to Know' Bible Study

By
Image
I've always been a little unsure about the Holy Spirit. God the Father? I get that. Jesus? He feels like a close friend. But the Holy Spirit often felt like a mystery, a concept I couldn't quite grasp. It seemed like everyone else had these amazing stories and experiences, while I was just… confused. If you've ever felt that way, like you're missing a piece of the puzzle in your faith, then I think I've found something that could help us both. I recently went through "The God You Need to Know" Bible study by Margaret Feinberg, and it completely shifted my perspective. This isn't your typical, complex theological deep dive. Instead, it’s a warm and welcoming journey to genuinely get to know the Holy Spirit. Margaret makes it feel less like a lecture and more like a conversation with a wise friend who’s excited to share something incredible with you. She takes you back to the Old Testament, showing that the Spirit has been active and present from the ...

Split Keyboards: Your Best Friend for Carpal Tunnel Wrist Pain

By
Image
That familiar tingling in my fingers started again, then the dull ache in my wrist that shot up my forearm. For anyone who spends their days typing, you know what I'm talking about. My carpal tunnel pain was getting worse, making my job a real pain—literally. My standard, flat keyboard forced my hands into an unnatural position, and by the end of the day, my thumbs and wrists were screaming. I knew I had to find a better way to work if I wanted to keep typing without pain. Source: Wikimedia Commons I started looking into ergonomic keyboards and quickly went down the rabbit hole of split designs. The idea seemed a little strange at first, a keyboard split into two halves. But the more I read, the more it made sense. These keyboards are designed to match the natural position of your hands and arms, not force them into a cramped, straight line. After trying one, I can honestly say it has made a huge difference. The relief was almost immediate (although, I still do have pain here and ...

The Story of God and Us Review: A Must-Read

By
Image
I love reading the Bible, but I can admit that sometimes I get lost in the details. It's easy to see the individual books as separate stories instead of one continuous narrative. I've often wanted a guide that connects all the dots, and that's exactly what I found in The Story of God and Us by Jonathan Murphy. The first thing I noticed was the eye-catching cover, but what I found inside was even better. This book presents God's grand narrative in a way that is clear, engaging, and deeply personal, showing how we are all an important part of it. Who is Jonathan Murphy? The Author Behind the Story Before diving into the book, it helps to know the author. The Jonathan Murphy author credit belongs to the senior pastor of Stonebriar Community Church and a professor at the respected Dallas Theological Seminary . This isn't just someone with a theory; he dedicates his life to teaching the Bible. His experience as a pastor comes through in his writing. He’s not just ...

How Rescuing a Kitten Completely Changed My Life

By
Image
I wasn't planning on it. One minute my life was moving along a predictable path, and the next, I was the proud, terrified parent of a tiny, 6-week-old rescued kitten named Micah. The decision was instant, but the aftermath was a slow-motion explosion that rearranged my entire existence. I had no idea that this little ball of fluff would completely turn my world upside down, forcing me to confront my routines, my home, and even my own schedule in ways I never anticipated. It all started on July 5th, and since that day, nothing has been the same. The initial days were a blur of chaos and exhaustion. My life, as I knew it, was over. The freedom I once had to come and go as I pleased vanished. Suddenly, my schedule revolved around this tiny creature who depended on me for everything. It was a massive adjustment, and frankly, I felt like I was failing at everything. My house was a disaster, I was behind on work, and sleep became a luxury I couldn't afford. But what started as a...

Testing IMILAB's C30 and EC6 Cameras (Indoor and Outdoor)

By
Image
When I recently got the chance to test two IMILAB security cameras—the C30 Dual indoor camera and the EC6 Panorama outdoor camera —I was very curious. Home security can be a pain. Lots of brands make big promises, but setting them up can be a headache. I wanted to see if these cameras were actually easy to use. I put them through their paces in my own house to see if the video was clear and if the app wasn't clunky. My goal was to see if they could handle everything, from watching my small zoo of pets to keeping an eye on my yard. I’ve had bad luck with other cameras, so I was ready to see if these were any different. Disclosure: I received this item free in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are 100% my own. A Closer Look at the IMILAB C30 Dual Indoor Camera When I opened the C30, I was surprised. It doesn't look like a typical security camera. It's small, sleek, and honestly, kind of cute. It blends in with everything in my pet room (whe...

Own a Piece of Biblical History: My Temple Mount Soil Necklace

By
Image
I’ve always felt a deep connection to my faith, but sometimes, reading the Bible can feel like looking at a world that is very far away. The stories are powerful, but they took place thousands of years ago in a land I’ve only seen in pictures. I've often wished for something more, a way to make that history feel present and real in my own life. That's why I was so moved when I first learned about the Pendant of Eternal Faith . To be honest, I was a little skeptical at first, but now I can say it's one of the most meaningful items I own. When I was offered the chance to receive a gold and a silver Pendant of Eternal Faith for free, I was intrigued. The idea is simple but profound: each pendant contains genuine, authenticated soil from the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. This isn’t just symbolic dirt from somewhere in the Holy Land; it’s the actual soil from the location where Solomon’s First Temple stood and where Jesus walked, taught, and performed miracles. Holding it in my h...

Why Your Cat Needs Unscented Litter

By
Image
As cat owners, we all want what's best for our feline friends. We pick out the right food, make sure they have cozy spots to nap, and try our best to keep them happy and healthy. But sometimes, what seems like a good idea for us isn't actually the best for our cats. Take scented cat litter, for example. It might make our homes smell better, but it turns out those perfumes can be a real problem for our sensitive cats. I've always aimed to give my cats the best environment, and discovering the impact of scented litter really made me think about how we choose products for our pets. I've learned that a lot of companies, including Dr. Elsey's , are starting to understand the risks of scented litters and are making changes to put cat health first. This shift is about more than just a preference; it's based on science and veterinary insights that show how artificial fragrances can truly affect a cat's well-being . It's a big step in the right direction...
