Thank you to everyone who commented on my vaporizer questions. I enjoyed seeing that I’m not the only one that has struggled with picking the perfect unit.

I found your answers informative and helpful. One thing I learned is that using purified water is a good thing.

I have ordered a Crane Drop Shape Cool Mist Humidifier. It seemed to have the best mix of features for the price.

My favorite recommendation was the “Heaven Fresh HF 707 Digital Ultrasonic Cool & Warm Mist HUMIDIFIER” — it looks like an amazing unit – but was more than I was wanting to spend. In hind site, since this Crane is now the fourth humidifier we’ve bought, I’ve already spent the equivalent of the Heaven Fresh.

Again – thank you for the help.

In Christ,
Nathan

“Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety” (Proverbs 11:14).

Happy birthday, Sarah. We are greatly blessed as we think about all the ways you serve and bless this family and others. Eleven years ago, when the Managers of Their Homes book came out, you immediately took responsibility for packing and shipping each order. Now you effectively and efficiently manage all of our book titles, including their initial printings and reprints. You process orders, make sure we have the right boxes and other shipping supplies, handle the taxes and filing, answer the phone and e-mails, take photos, keep up the blog, and coordinate our speaking trips. Somehow in the midst of all of that, you find time to write your own books – books that have blessed, encouraged, and mentored thousands of children.

Not only are you the backbone of Titus2, you help with meals and cleaning here at home. You clean for Nathan and Melanie when Melanie is pregnant and unable to do so herself because of her difficult pregnancies. You make lunch for Gigi and Grandad one day a week and eat with them plus help with cleaning their house.

We love your heart for the Lord Jesus, your sweet spirit, and your great desire to fully serve and obey Him. We delight in the time we have had with you as a beautiful young woman who has chosen to continue to live in our home when you could have moved on to live any life that you desired.

While we are prepared to take over all that you do should the Lord bring a man into your life to be your husband, we are grateful for all you have given to our family and invested in so many others around the world. We are blessed to have you as a daughter and sister.

Your Family

Sweet Sarah

Anna, Sarah, Liz, and Mary

We enjoyed sewing time with Liz! I (Sarah) haven’t sewed for a long time, and it was a joy to get back into it. This particular fabric was purchased from Hobby Lobby. For those of you who have wanted to learn how to sew, take heart. It isn’t hard; it’s only a matter of following directions, staying patient, and having a seam ripper handy .

Love,
Sarah

“She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands” (Proverbs 31:13).

Our friends, Dave and Liz, are here for a visit. Days have been filled with many productive tasks:

• Putting together a wood floor for Sarah and Anna’s desks
• Assembling Anna’s “new” desk
• Work
• Sewing (girls)
• Time in God’s Word
• Fellowship in the Lord
• Meal prep
• Exercise
• And more!

On top of that, the weather has been beautiful.

Love,
Sarah

Liz and I

Sewing!

Joseph and Dave

The dining room was turned into a sewing room but by lunch time, the table was reclaimed.

We had a great set up--three sewing machines, a serger, two irons.

And then it was turned into an art classroom.

Art class in progress.
