“A Study In Pink” by Maggie Smith For my seasonally depressed friends: Spring will come! (Unless heaven comes first and that would be better anyway:)
God is in Control and He is Good
Maggie is afraid of very few things. She is not afraid of the dark. We have learned that the fear of the dark is actually a good boundary. One summer while we were camping, we watched her (unaware of us) unzip the tent, peek around, and walk away into the dark night. In a similar… Continue reading God is in Control and He is Good
The Gospel Coalition
I’d like to draw your attention to a link I’ve added to my favorites. The Gospel Coalition is a great resource for building up your faith. There are articles, sermons, conference information, blogs, etc. The following is the first paragraph from their “About Us” just to give you an idea: We are a group of (mostly) pastors… Continue reading The Gospel Coalition
Green Grass
Today was one of the days when I was peeking over to the non-homeschooling side of the fence and thinking that the grass just had to be greener. Thankfully the Lord has given my husband the personality and patience to live with 6 women. So when I said/yelled, “Don’t you see I’m ruining everyone’s life!” … Continue reading Green Grass
It’s Wednesday…
I know this is old. But Chris tripped getting dressed this morning and I just had to watch it again. It’s Wednesday afterall… note: send the kids out of the room

Into Thy freedom, gladness, and light, Jesus, I come to Thee! Out of my sickness into Thy health, Out of my want and into Thy wealth, Out of… Continue reading Jesus I Come
A Queen’s Bed

Of course it needed a little TLC, but nothing we couldn’t do ourselves in just a few short months… Well, we’ve been almost (a word I’ve begun… Continue reading A Queen’s Bed
Heavy and Hopeful
Today we will celebrated the life and service of my longest and dearest friends’ dad. He was our doctor, friend, brother in Christ. The kind of man that sat through a Micheal W. Smith/DC Talk concert for his pre-teen daughter and her friend, who made blueberry pancakes on Sunday mornings before church, and who risked his own life… Continue reading Heavy and Hopeful
Quick Holiday Photo Tips
I woke up this morning to the big girls hovering over me with plans to remove a mole from my shoulder with a barrette and a comb. It could have been worse, I know a dad who once woke up with a scalpal between his teeth. Meanwhile, Chris was in their bathroom trying to fish flushed Dixie cups out… Continue reading Quick Holiday Photo Tips
Yummy!
