Chocolate Espresso Whoopie Pies

By Lorraine

Chocolate Espresso Whoopie Pies are decadent and delicious. The dark chocolate cookie is rich and cake like. Or even brownie like, with a hint of coffee. Two cookies are sandwiched together with a frosting filling that is light and fluffy with more coffee flavor!Dads, oft times, get a bum wrap and are portrayed on television and movies as less than manly and capable. The role of dad is a huge responsibility and those guys who endeavor to meet the challenge are worthy of honor and respect. A little love can go a long way to say, I notice and appreciate you.

Fatherless to Fatherfull

By Lorraine

Fatherfull…
isn’t that the sweetest word

I am so thankful for my own dad and father-in-law who now reside in heaven.
I am so proud of my husband and the love he has for our children and grandchildren.
I am so grateful for our son-in-laws as they endeavor to love their wives and raise their children.
And, I am amazed that God calls me His child.
Click on this short video and listen as precious Levi and Lia tell their adoption story in a most endearing way. God is good!
The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.”
Romans 8:15
