As I was getting ready for bed, I heard a squeal from the other room and I knew exactly what the cause was. Most likely some sort of creature that didn’t belong in our home was in fact in our home and needed to be dealt with. So I ran to the rescue hoping to [...]
This past Sunday, we just had 3 girls come into the family! We had known Kelly for 2 weeks, Lynn for 3 days, and we had just met Fancy that afternoon. Now, they’re my sisters! We were at our Bible study, and the topic was thankfulness, in honor of American Thanksgiving. I was able to [...]
I’ve had the amazing privilege of seeing (in small settings where you can really see what’s happening) a good number of people make decisions to leap into the Kingdom.

I collapsed into bed at 3:00 yesterday afternoon, exhausted. When I woke up from my nap, I could barely stand up long enough to make it to the bathroom. Everything in my body told me that I had the flu, just in time for Thanksgiving. If this kept up, I’d be missing out on one [...]
