Do you have days like mine? Today from the very first thought I have just been super introspective. Every once in a while this will happen to me. I am not sure if it’s God finally getting through to me, finally reaching my head and my heart, or perhaps just a severe case of exhaustion….

Silly Boys
A fun story from today… I was upstairs in my office, and on the phone, when a small figure came peeking around the corner. A bright smile and an excited wave greeted me from the face of our youngest boy, Alex. I returned the smile, and said quickly, “Hi Alex!”, while trying to continue listening…
The Sacred
Last night I was struck again at just how little I understand the concept of “sacred”. As far as I can tell, I hold nothing as sacred. No persons, places or things (That’s a noun! Wasn’t that from School House Rock?) Yes, you are correct, not even God. Now before you stone me, let me…
Update on A Journey Shared
I received an e-mail today from my publisher saying they are shipping the author copies of A Journey Shared to me! This is the final approval step before they make the book available for purchase through their website, and then the myriad of other online book sellers. That means in a few days… I will…
Kirstie Rae Turns One!
Just had to get this in here today. 🙂 I love our daughter. She is a true gift from God to us. She is beautiful, and happy, and growing more in personality every day! Today is her birthday. We celebrated with some of her favorite things, and even a quick visit from Grammy and Grandpa…
Just To Clarify
I have had a couple comments/questions recently that go something like this… “Book? What book?!” 🙂 Well, I mentioned it here sometime in January. But since I have received the cover already, and that contains a brief description of the book on the back, thought I would just share that with you! The book, A…
What A Day!
I am tired. I even got to sleep in today… on purpose… and it worked. But I’m still tired! Here’s why: (1) I woke up in South Carolina and will go to bed in Pennsylvania. (2) I drove all that way. (3) Well, OK… Jen drove the first 2 hours I think… (4) We have…
"Our Lello House"
More than three thousand miles, and nine states later, all Alex can think of is “our Lello House”. (Our house is yellow.) All those adventures, all the new people, even a two-day fun-filled excursion through the magical World of Disney… and all we want is our Lello House. There is a familiarity to home that…
Wealth
A couple weekends ago now, we were hanging out with my cousins, and the topic of wealth briefly came up for discussion. We were sharing some stories of our financial tight-rope walking and she was sharing theirs and we both said something alluding to our lack of wealth. The funny part was, we both thought…
The Van
Sometimes… I am not too quick. 🙂 Jen was relating the story of our recent van troubles, and fixes, to her parents, and I finally realized how God had been working in that. Now, cut me a little slack. There were reasons why I was oblivious to his working in that particular instance, which I…
