Improving my love of life…. through loving God, self and others
In tenth grade our daughter decided to become a rugby player. Our sweet, creative, incredibly dramatic daughter who is not terribly athletic wanted to play a violent game that we knew little about. We had some reservations, but went to the team meeting and entertained the idea. Somehow she convinced us that rugby was her... Continue Reading →
Ever been told you have a critical spirit? I have, not by a person, but God has convicted me of it time and again. If you tend to look at something - a performance, the layout of a store, a beautiful scene, the efficiency of a group working together - and say this is really... Continue Reading →
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, they look around, hoping someone else do es the same thing. Now, I am not a list maker, in fact I... Continue Reading →

At first we felt it was our obligation to 'go home' for the holidays, but the problem was that our families live about a thousand miles away from each other, and we were roughly the same distance from each.

Yep, more than 4500 songs in a month, you read that right. And that wasn't a big month for us, just normal. We play music on the main floor almost every waking hour of the day, and it serves several purposes: music calms, encourages, reminds and revs us up, it replaces the chatter of a...

I found this recipe through a friend on Facebook, the original is from http://www.outsideonline.com/fitness/nutrition/Whitneys-Everything-Energy-Bars.html I've made the bars a couple of times and have decided there's no one way to do it, the original calls for 1 c cranberries and 1 c coconut added, but I want my family to eat them, so I refrained....
