Quarantine!

Now imagine it happening 4 or 5 times in one night. Now imagine three children sick with this cough at the same time. What this means is parents that must rise to comfort and care for a panicked child, some nights, every hour on the hour all night long! And imagine three weeks (approx.) of…

Filling the Void

When I was a little girl Daddy was in the Army. Moving as often and as far away as his job required often made time with extended family scarce.

Waiting for the Good Stuff

So tonight, in an incident with my 4 year old son, I had a snapshot of my life with the Lord over the last three years or so. We had some ice cream to give the children as dessert, but we require them to clean their plates before dessert is served. Tonight we decided not to tell…

Primary Priorities: A Word about Political Apathy

What has happened to the Christian idea about a civic duty? My wife and I were astounded by how many people we personally know that did not vote in our statewide Republican primary for president on “Super Tuesday.” Now, I am not wanting to bash these friends into the ground, because I realize there are…
