Things Happen

And not necessarily nice things, either! This past week sure fits the definition of “doozy.” Just briefly: ~ Hubby was gone ALL week, Sunday (!) through Saturday afternoon. Work took two weekend days. ~ The puppy was hurt when the play with the boys was a little bit too rough. She cried. She limped. She [...]

Intimacy in Prayer

Written by Francois Fenelon, a mystic* of the Middle Ages: “Tell God all that is in your heart, as one unloads one’s heart, it’s pleasures, and it’s pains, to a dear friend. Tell him your troubles, that he may comfort you; tell him your joys, that he may sober them; tell him your longings, that [...]

This is War – Dustin Kensrue

Striking, a different perspective of history and HIStory.

Mary Did You Know?

This one makes me cry. It’s just such an impressive idea, so awesome to contemplate the humility that Jesus had to be born as a little baby, in a feeding trough inside of a stable in a wee little podunk village in one of the least impressive parts of the Roman empire, no less. And [...]

Advent of the King

You know, last year I was quicker on the draw with the Christmas decor. Day after Thanksgiving, we pulled out the tree and put it up. This year we are slacking quite a bit. Mind you, getting the tree out of the storage over the garage is no mean feat: it involves a ladder and [...]

I Can’t Believe It

My “baby” turned 11. ELEVEN. 10+1. Double 1. I had a MOMent on Sunday when it happened. Here he was when he was my little man at all of nine months: This was Sunday before we attacked his cake: He requested the cake: yellow cake with lemon curd filling and white frosting. Thanks, Paula Deen, [...]

Jesus

Posted by my sister on her Facebook page. I had to share, it’s so beautiful.

Special Moments

There’s a reason I’m posting here right now. We’d finally re-established our Discipline this past week but I have to throw some of that out the window. All weekend, the boys were being boys. At this moment, the boys are brothers. They are both in NM’s bed, looking over a magazine while the dog is [...]

Jesus Bring the Rain

Yesterday, I had the blessing of sharing at our women’s ministry luncheon. I won’t lie: it was scary. Ironic because the Lord had led me to share on fear and how to overcome it (faith). Anyway, it was a sweet time because we were able to share afterwards. That was the sweetest part (plus my [...]

Heroes

I saw this video a while back but it’s making the rounds among my contacts on Facebook. I love these stories of hidden talents coming to light in such a beautiful way. But for every one of these people, there are those who come along side and help propel them to their success. Don’t miss [...]
