Improving my love of life…. through loving God, self and others
We heard a convicting sermon yesterday based on Mark 6, when Jesus sent the disciples out to replicate what they had been watching and learning from him. There were several boundaries that he gave: Travel in groups of two Take only one set of clothing, and no food with you When you enter a new... Continue Reading →
I work closely with a woman who struggles to tell the truth. I’m not saying she lies about everything, but our perceptions of most events are vastly different. She recounts incidents with coworkers without remembering that I was there at the time, and the tone of voice/motivations/actual words are completely different than what I heard,...

When my guy started working for a new company in a whole new industry, naturally there was a steep learning curve to get up to speed on how the business was run, how the parts were made and what the customers wanted. He expected this and planned for it; what he wasn’t prepared for was... Continue Reading →
Over the last twenty years, my guy and I have moved around the country quite a bit, changing for a new position within the company or for a new opportunity with a different corporation. At this point, we have committed to our children that we will not make any more moves until they have all... Continue Reading →
All Moms know about the witching hour; the last sixty minutes of the day before Dad gets home and rescues you from Crazyland.

Jesus doesn’t mince words with this one, he wants us to radically, non-traditionally love others. He did this while on earth by spending time, serving and healing others. How do we do this...

Our son was in the hospital for the last couple of days, getting tested for seizure-like episodes he has been experiencing after some concussions last year. He was hooked up to an EEG with the nodes glued to his scalp for more than 48 hours, in hopes of capturing an episode. We don’t have any... Continue Reading →
How is your stress level these days? Feeling the pinch of way too many things to do and not enough daylight? I have been for a while now. There are ways to combat these anxious feelings, and the simplest and most effective is something you’re already doing right now: breathe. But wait, you’re probably doing... Continue Reading →
On Saturday morning our hot water heater died without warning. And took the basement carpet out with it. Our family spent most of the weekend pulling wet carpet and pad up, prying carpet nails out of concrete and choosing our next type of basement flooring. It was work, but it felt good to make progress... Continue Reading →
