Silas was at his babysitter’s house last week. Connie was talking with Silas about the baseball on his shirt. Then she asked if he had been to a game at the ballpark. Silas replied, “Yes, I went to the ballpark, but that was before I had kids.” Too funny! I’m guessing he was remembering an… Read More The Gift of Family
Mothering tiny people often leaves little or no time for spiritual nourishment or personal growth. Nap time is a precious commodity that I can spend only so many ways. There are cleaning priorities (mopping the floors or vacuuming the car) that are best done when the boys are safely otherwise occupied. There are personal priorities… Read More A Mommy Solution
Unfortunately, my computer hard drive crashed last week, so blog posts have been hard to come by. My replacement drive arrived the other day, and my talented man has spent many hours getting my computer up and running again. There’s still some work to be done, but I just wanted to say a big “I… Read More My Favorite Superhero

September 5th is the NFL kickoff, and it’s just plain crazy that I know that! I’m the girl who was surprised each year that it was time for the… Read More Football Is In the Air
Marriage is not what I expected. It’s better, richer, deeper, fuller. Marriage is common grace. Grace given to believers and unbelievers alike. Grace that allows each marriage–each union of man and wife–to portray Christ’s relationship to His Church. What wonder! Marriage is reconciliation. Though bride and groom are permanently joined at the altar, the ministry… Read More This Mystical Thing Called Marriage
Carefree. Where we spent the night. Carefree. How we felt. We took our first ever overnight date since having kids. And we can’t wait to do it again! My friend, Rebekah, insisted that we should let her babysit the boys while Stephen and I took a night away, just the two of us. The idea… Read More Romantic Carefree Getaway
