Reminders
Without my iPhone I would be terribly lost. I set alarms and reminders to keep my day moving...when to pick up the boys, when it's time for a conference call, appointments, lists of items to pick up at the store...it never ends! Today I received a reminder that was...
Joy ….Revisited
Did you select a "word" for 2013? (It's not too late)! My "OneWord" for 2013 is Joy. I want to spend this year recognizing and relishing in the joy in my life and not letting those moments slip past me unnoticed. I guess you could say it's also about being more...
His Best
I am having a hard time believing this nugget of inspiration right now. I know that everything in our lives happens for a purpose. A purpose that may be easy to see during the event but often times it takes quite some time to understand the reasons why we go through...
So Incredibly Disappointing
Even since "Christian" was diagnosed with an inhibitor back in December of 2006, we have waited for the Bethesda units to drop low enough to start Immune Tolerance Therapy to eradicate the inhibitor. On March 8, 2013, we were going to finally start! Our entire...

Everyone is Different
Several people in the bleeding disorder community don't understand why some people are hospitalized so often for bleeds. "Why can't you treat the bleed at home? Why do you go to the hospital so often?" Honestly, those kind of comments make me doubt...
Love
When I found my soul mate, at the time I didn't know he was "the one". But God sure did. By all accounts, Joe MacDonald and I should probably never have gotten together. People said we were too different, he was wild and crazy, I was extremely uptight. He was...
Preparation
One of my new roles at our church is head of the Worship Committee. This committee ensures that every part of the worship experience is thought through for each service. Are the bread and juice ready and set out on the altar, is the music playing at the appropriate...
The Saga Continues
"Christian's" knee bleed is continuing to heal and his ankle starts to swell on Sunday afternoon. He has been off his feet in a wheelchair and he has an ankle bleed. Spontaneous bleeds seem to be our thing. Dealing with a bleed is difficult, but when you...
