Just a little something…

Thanks for your patience. Not much has changed we are still waiting. I should say that the kids are LOVING school and both recently got awards for the spirit of cooperation and leadership in their classes. We were very proud!! Of course, I forgot my camera so you will just have to take my [...]

The Freedom of Christmas

I have a confession. Because of Facebook I am running into alot of people that I used to know in high school and college. This is great and I love it…but I have to say that it poses somewhat of a problem for me. You see, I am not the same person I was back [...]

A bit of comic relief

This blog has been a bit serious lately and I am not a very serious person. So I decided to lighten things up just a bit. Below is an old post I am bring back to life because 1. there is no time to write a new post and 2. lots of us are dealing [...]

From the horses mouth..

Well, it seems that my recent post will continue to a serve as a reminder to me. We got more news and you can read it for yourselves here. We are encouraged that the country has not CLOSED..but honestly, I am struggling in my faith. I am struggling to understand how this is good for [...]

Don’t Waste Your Wait..

Trees, Rain and Jesus

Ok we have 2 trees that need a bit of tiding..to say the least. Anyway, I called our local Tree Trimmer for an appointment to come and give us a quote. So the nice gentleman comes at 3:30 this afternoon. When he comes to the door he is fully decked out in winter gear. I open [...]

Love in a box..

Today we mailed a small gift to our baby boy who is waiting for his forever home. It is some comfort that he will have his own special blanket (that his sisters picked out because it says “LOVE YOU” on it) and a little blue bear from his brother. I did send [...]

Thin Places

We are home from Colorado and we are excited about what the Lord is doing in our lives. The next year should be pretty interesting! We were able to meet up with all our old friends and spend some great time with new ones. We were able to go back to our old church, Calvary [...]
