We make this smoothie almost every morning, have been for over a year now, it just seems to make the day go better. This time of year I use frozen berries and kale from Costco, but can’t wait to buy them when they are fresh and local. 1 c blueberries 1 c strawberries ½ orange... Continue Reading →
Make a Difference
When we lived in Minnesota we listened to the local Christian radio station. Several years ago they started a campaign called the Drive Thru Difference, which was an effort to bless those around you by paying for the customer behind you in the drive thru on a certain day of each month. The idea was... Continue Reading →
What Would You Say?
My guy and I lead the Couples Ministry at our church, and our focus so far has been on three distinct groups of people: engaged couples marrying in the next six months, married couples who want to deepen their relationships and couples who are struggling to live under the same roof.

I'm pretty sure it's what got my college freshman through her first semester. To make it vegan friendly,... Continue Reading →

True Confession
Do you know someone who will write out a list of to-do’s for the sole purpose of marking off the items already accomplished? When they share this about themselves, it’s almost like a confession. Now, I am not a list maker, I try just about every trick in the book to keep from needing a... Continue Reading →
Years Go By
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X91IWV_rEmI If you haven't discovered NeedtoBreathe yet, please spend some time listening to what they have to offer. We have seen them perform a couple of times now and they are fantastic in person. This song, Like Stones Under Rushing Water, was performed at the last concert we attended and I just stood in tears.... Continue Reading →
Sometimes
The last day of daycare for my little girl was when she was just a week or more than two years old. I vividly remember picking her up and saying good-bye to the wonderful people who had loved and nurtured her while I was at work each day. The joy that I had in putting... Continue Reading →
