Goals for 2012 (and a Reader Survey)

run

Since I’m all gung-ho about getting the new year off to a roaring start, I thought I’d write down some goals for myself. This is actually a new exercise for me. No, seriously, I don’t think I have ever written down a list of goals or New Years resolutions. You see, I am not exactly what [...]

Why?

There is a little girl in our community who went to preschool with my youngest. I saw her and her mom at school and said hello in the parking lot, and that is about all I knew of them. They were just another ordinary family that I passed in the hallways at school. Until we [...]

Hope :: Psalm 33:18-22

dew on the day lillies

But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him on those who hope in his steadfast love, that he may deliver their soul from death and keep them alive in famine. Our soul waits for the Lord; he is our help and our shield. For our hearts rejoice in him, because we trust in his holy name. Let your steadfast [...]

Meditation: Isaiah 35

The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose. It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing; the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon: they shall see the glory of Jehovah, the excellency of [...]

Days Like These (and a giveaway!)

don't make me come up there

Today has been a rough day. I’ll just lay it out there. The kids are home from school for Easter break (just today, tomorrow and Monday) and I was looking forward to a leisurely morning without the mad rush to school and a lazy day at home, with perhaps a trip to the mall or [...]

Epic Fail

One of my son’s favorite phrases when he or someone else does something wrong is, “epic fail.” We’ve kind of picked up on it and we tease him when he does anything stupid (yes, we say stupid in our house, sue me.) He always seems to get a kick out of it when one of [...]

For Unto You Is Born This Day . . . a Savior.
