“More To This Life” by Amy DiBiase
It is amazing how we can go through our lives, that mainly consist of repetitious acts of work, eating, sleep, and relaxation with our spouse … With the occasional addition of a ”moment” from God that breaks through all the mundane monotony and reminds us what this life is all […]
“It’s His Fault!” by John DiBiase
Tonight was my first experience accompanying my wife… maternity clothes shopping! What’s kind of funny to note is, I was supposed to be her sole accompaniment for this task. Luckily for both of us, another couple was able to join us, so the ladies went off on a quest to find […]
“A Mighty and Loving Shepherd” by J.M. Farro
I know from experience how daunting a job parenting can be, even though the rewards far outweigh the challenges. I believe that’s why the Lord has special blessings of wisdom, power, and provision for those of us who have been brave enough to tread the pathway of parenthood. Years ago, […]

Joanne’s Beef Stew
This is my own recipe, and it’s one that I have made for my husband and children countless times over the years. John and Amy ask me to make it regularly. I make this stew in a pressure cooker, so it’s a relatively quick meal to prepare. It’s filled with […]
Chunky Brownie Cookies
This recipe has been adapted to fit my son, John’s, tastes with the addition of M&Ms on the inside and on top. If your kids love M&Ms and chocolate cookies, they’ll probably be big fans of these, too! – JM Farro CHUNKY BROWNIE COOKIES 1 pkg. (17.6 oz.) Brownie Mix […]
Chocolate Raspberry Birthday Cake
This is the cake that my daughter-in-law, Amy, likes me to make for her birthday. I make it in two heart-shaped nonstick pans that I bought many years ago. It’s a two-layer cake that is easy to make, and you can put it together very quickly. Best of all, it’s […]
