*Note to readers (all 3 of you): Proceed with caution. You may be bored to tears. Can’t say I didn’t warn ya’! Yesterday I tackled my semi-weekly monumental chore of making out my menu and grocery list. We even managed to make it to the stores and complete our shopping. Sure, there are folks out… Read More Grocery Shopping: A Necessary Evil
Friends regularly ask me how Stephen likes his new job. In short, it’s a great fit for him! As you might remember, he began his job as Field Engineer for Sindel Technology Solutions on January 4th. Sindel is a computer consulting firm began by a husband and wife team, for whom it is named–Sindy and… Read More The Field Engineer
Sunday was an incredible day packed with blessings at Crossroad. Thinking about this blog, I realize that I haven’t been updating you on our ministry at church very often. This week I’m prompted to do just that as Sunday was just too good not to share! Crossroad happily welcomed a new family into its membership.… Read More A Sunday for Celebrating
Superhero Silas! Although Stephen has been told that he looks like Superman (aka Clark Kent), the superhero featured here is Silas Clark (who turns 5 months today). Silas’s superpower is making things moist. It’s incredible the way he can dampen anything within his reach. He’s doing his part to irrigate the desert. His other adorable… Read More It’s a Bird, It’s a Plane, It’s…
Happy April Fool’s! What kind of mother does this to her poor, helpless, unsuspecting child? It was actually challenging to find clothes that clashed since most baby boy clothing is red, white, and blue. Watch out for those pranksters today!
Two spring breaks (at two different schools in two different states) made for one great visit to Phoenix! Grandpa and Aunt Charis met Silas for the first time and spent their entire break with us. We were so glad they could come! After a busy, beautiful morning last Saturday, our little trio drove all the… Read More Spring Break in the Valley of the Sun
He showed up in the wee hours o’ the mornin’ for Mommy’s holiday birthday. St. Patty’s Day began with a family breakfast at Denny’s, and the Leprechaun slept through the yummy eggs, pancakes, and bacon. Yes, we wore our green. Leprechauns can be quite good at Irish jigs. Here is Silas’s rendition for you to… Read More A Little Leprechaun Came to Stay
When putting Silas down for a nap, I often sing to him Believe Me, If All Those Endearing Young Charms. Besides being a soothing lullaby, I’ve found that the words of the song are a poignant reminder for me to readjust my priorities. One lie that I frequently find myself believing is that life is… Read More Lullaby
Not on a horse. Not on a ranch. In a car. In a parking lot. Friday was date night. Although we had planned to make a big evening of it, we kept it simple out of necessity. (A gall bladder surgery is one sure way to keep your date night budget low :)) Mimi’s Cafe… Read More I Learned to Gallop!
Stephen sent me a link to this post, “Signs of Growing in Grace”. It is exactly what my sinful heart needs today. It speaks to my temptations. It reproves me of sins that stand well in my heart. Much to meditate on.
