making space

I spent the majority of my day cleaning out my mom’s garage.  I don’t know about you, but going through old stuff and cleaning out space in not my cup of tea.  Although it’s not a favorite pastime of most people, it is necessary.  I got a good look...

I’n ‘tuck (Guest Post)

Guest Post by Linda Nance. I love watching children play! Their innocence and imagination are refreshing – especially, as they learn about the world around them. I recently had the privilege of watching my youngest grandson, Isaiah. Isaiah is a typical 2-year old...

looking back

It’s been just over a year since I started blogging.  Since then a lot has happened in my life.  I started looking through old posts to see which ones seemed to be the most popular.  Interestingly enough only four of the top ten read posts were among the top ten...

rediscovering fire

The group of men I meet with Tuesday mornings is finally working through the book (Primal) we chose to read in January.  When asked about the time(s) in my life that have been God moments, I couldn’t give an answer.  When was my heart was broken for the things...

too busy to…

Music is a part of me.  It’s in my DNA.  I probably won’t ever be a famous musician or even make enough money from music for much more than a cheeseburger, but it’s still a part of me and something I love.  There are times when I don’t notice...
