God blesses those people who want everyone to be treated right more than to eat or drink. They will be given what they want! Our family is reading through the book of Matthew together currently, and we came to chapter five today. Many may know that chapter five is where you find the words Jesus […]

Freedom To Not Be Free
As I mentioned a while back, I’ve been reading through Paul’s letter to the Christians in Corinth. (1 Corinthians.) I’m trying to do it in bigger chunks to get a broader perspective of what Paul is talking about in this letter. It’s one that has always slightly baffled me. Paul (a life-long rule keeper) speaks […]
Christmas Music
‘Tis the season… Christmas music is back in regular rotation on our iPod and iTunes players. Aside from our Christmas CD (which hopefully by now you have heard of) I uploaded a playlist today of my favorite stuff from our library. Really like MercyMe The Christmas Sessions, and Steven Curtis Chapman’s second Christmas album All […]
My Day (or two) As A Mom
I think I have written here before that when Jen has babies, I take a week or, last time, two off to take care of the other kids while she can focus completely on the baby. And of course, I take care of her too. 🙂 So, I am no stranger to being the “Mom” […]
Cinderella

The Ugliness of Arrogance
“Do justly, love mercy, walk humbly with your God…” A line from a Steven Curtis Chapman song (one of my favorite song writers!) Taken from a line in Micah (6:8). And really is at the core of how we are made to live. It is not like God to be boastful or proud. Even though […]
Love
So… I was listening to a song on the way to play some basketball this morning… and the words just slammed me in the face with the "power of love" (and no, I don’t mean the Huey Lewis version…) Listen… What I Would Say She was a lovely girl, a charming brown-eyed beauty You were […]
Serious Discussions
After seeing her Mom crying while listening to the Beauty Will Rise album in the van yesterday, Kirstie seemed to be the most affected by the story of a five year old girl going to heaven. (Perhaps because she is also five years old herself?) She told me about it when they got home, and […]
