Life is Good
I love Sunday's. I spend the morning in worship at my church, usually followed by lunch with friends then a nap or binge watching a show on Netflix. The evening is filled with making sure that clothes are ready for the week, lunch is packed, homework...
For Such a Time as This….Thank you to the cast and crew of Chicago & Make-a-Wish
My oldest son, Julian is now 18. He has severe Hemophilia A that is very well managed. But when he was little he had an inhibitor and his father and I had to access his port for daily infusion for over 2 1/2 years. That's not what happens to a "normal" kid. When...
30 Seconds
I was recently in a class where the facilitator asked the question, "Where have you seen Jesus in your life?" The room was silent. I was pretty surprised that these beautiful, faithful women had nothing to say. I immediately knew the moment I experienced Jesus in...

Redeemed
Have you ever collected "stamps" from the grocery store? You know the kind that if you fill in the card and you can earn a new frying pan? I remember those pink stamps when I was a kid from Middleton's Supermarket in Galena Park, Texas. I don't know if my Mom ever...

Last week I received an email from the physician who is "corralling" all of the doctors involved in my "Christian's" care. He wanted to know how my husband and I felt about discussing adjusting Christian's treatment and lowering his frequency of Xolair. Yikes!...
