Gifts
"Probably the reason we all go so haywire at Christmastime with the endless unrestrained and often silly buying of gifts is that we don't quite know how to put our love into words." - Harlan Miller Buying gifts makes me a little crazy! Don't get me wrong, I love to...
My “Bestie”
I believe God is always at work. Sometimes we see his work pretty clearly and other times it takes years to "get it."I didn't "get" what was happening to me on December 19, 1992. Yes, it was my wedding day, one of the biggest days in my life, but I didn't know how...
Breathe
"In the Messiah, in Christ, God leads us from place to place in one perpetual victory parade. Through us, he brings knowledge of Christ. Everywhere we go, people breathe in the exquisite fragrance. Because of Christ, we give off a sweet scent rising to God, which is...
A Revelation…and a Shoulder Bleed

Catching Our Breath
On the Sunday after Thanksgiving "Christian" developed a nasty knee bleed....so much for making it through the holiday without incident :)The knee was not looking any better after a day and night of Q3 so we took him in to the HTC for a quick check and were admitted...
Time
Time flies. The older I get the faster it goes by. I think I really notice it when I have a few days off from work to spend with my family. You try to rest, relax and get everything you need done in a matter of days and before you know it, it's Sunday night and...
Great Things
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I love spending the day in the kitchen creating our "feast". My family does not like the occasional Thanksgiving that we are not at home simply because there will not be any leftovers 🙂 I love that they love my cooking. ...
