Shortly after writing yesterday’s post, I finished reading a book I’ve been reading for far too long (it’s only 120 pages and I’ve been going quite slowly). I will put the recommendation out there, however – In the Beginning, God by Marva Dawn (actually her pen name). In this book she makes the case that […]
For many people today, it is a day to celebrate all things Irish, drink beer, eat corned beef, and wear green. For our household, however, March 17th means something completely different. As many of you know, back in July we discovered that Sarah was pregnant. At first, there was shock, then fear, then much joy. […]
Think of the last time that you truly in awe of something.For me, it was when the doors to the sanctuary in Michigan opened to reveal Sarah in all of her bridal glory!Goodness! 😉Shortly after that, we experienced some awesome sights in Mexico, but since then, I’ve been hard pressed to be impressed. Sometimes I […]
First of all, thanks for the notes after the last post – I really appreciate it. Still working on getting the comments fixed – you can continue to leave messages on facebook if you are led. Ok, onto the thought I stole from someone else for today:For many people, unfortunately, Christianity has been whittled down […]
Ok, so my mind is racing about somethings that I was dealing with today, and I can’t sleep. I know you’ve all had those days. So, what better thing to do at 1am than to write a post on my sadly neglected blog that I will probably delete in the morning because it ends up […]
HOLY SMOKES! I’m so sorry that it’s been since September since I last posted, but here we go! Ah, ChristmastimeThere’s nothing quite like it. Decorations everywhere, the music (even my chiropractor plays Christmas music, and sometimes sings along), all the crazy shopping, the parties, the FOOD, lots of family, friends, and laughter. I’m getting all […]

It’s about all the things we want to […]
Well, this post is entirely copied, and taken out of context.This is part of an article written by John Piper, you can read the article (speaking about being angry with God) here. Talking about our love and passions for Christ, or our Christian life in general, we many times dismiss our feelings because they “can’t […]
What is worship supposed to look like? That, of course, is a huge question that has been asked for thousands of years, and I am sure not about to give some kind of trite answer to that here. However, I want to put forth these questions:What is worship supposed to look like for you?What is […]
This has been an interesting week. Saving you the long story, I was at the courthouse on Wednesday morning to speak to the nice man behind the big desk about some issues with my license plate and then pay them some money. While I was there, I met a young mom named Joanna.Joanna has a […]
