Father’s Day should be a difficult day for me, and in some ways, it is. After that first Father’s Day without my dad, however, it did get easier. I was, and am, comforted by the fact I will see him again. He was faithful to the Lord, his wife and his children until the very …
I’ve heard the phrase “mother-in-love” as a replacement for “mother-in-law”, and I rather like it. My husband’s mother, my mother-in-law, and in-love, is celebrating her birthday today! She is far away in Ohio, so we cannot enjoy a meal together, or bake her a cake, but my how we wish we could! There are a …
Here are a few candid shots from that last few weeks (maybe months?) at our house. I should warn you, this post will be most appreciated by those related to us. Consider yourself warned. 😉 I asked him to smile and he put up his dukes! Here he is in my sneakers! Okay, more normal …
Our family attends church every time the doors are open, but Resurrection Sunday is a special day to remember the suffering, death and resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I am always happy to see people in church, but I hope that you are not depending upon church attendance, baptism or good works …
I can’t thank you enough for taking the time to comment on my last post; it’s always so nice to hear from anyone (yes, even spammers! lol!). I hope I didn’t sound like I was complaining. After I re-read my post, I worried that it might’ve sounded that way. I often blog-hop and don’t comment. …
Wow, can you say “absent blogger”? I have been away for a while! I can’t really say why. Probably because I don’t know why. I just haven’t felt up to posting. *sigh* Sometimes, I receive great encouragement from my time online. Sometimes, I don’t. Lately, it’s been the latter. Am I back to my old …
Sometimes, blogging is the last thing I feel like doing. I’m not crafty. I’m not witty. I’m definitely not smart. At my best, I’m just a sinner saved by grace. At my worst…well, we won’t go there. This past week was one of those weeks where I just needed to be offline. While I wasn’t …
We just had the pleasure of watching the movie, Courageous, produced by Sherwood Pictures. First of all, I have thoroughly enjoyed the movies I’ve seen from this company. The list includes: Flywheel, Facing the Giants and Fireproof. It is such a blessing to have access to good quality Christian films. Courageous is one of the best films …
We began the week last Saturday (Don’t worry, I know the week really begins on Sunday. Just giving you a little back story.) with a wonderful missionary family joining us for an informal meal of pizza and salad. The Karamitros family have been in China for ten years. They have five grown children. And they …
We finally endured something that we’ve been dreading for about a year now. A good family in our church, with five children, moved to Oklahoma this last weekend. It’s been particularly hard on my son. He has so enjoyed having three boys to play with! Lauren is taking it hard, but not as hard as …
