Man, if only you could hear all the blog posts I have written in my head! This blog would be full of honest thoughts, real struggles, and gracious inspiration. But alas… I’ve not moved any of these thoughts from my head to the keyboard. I do want to start somewhere, though, and this rainy February […]

Nothing profound to share, really, except that Analise and I spent some time this evening reading this wonderful little book, “Born Again” in the I Can Read God’s Word series. It’s the perfect level reading for her, and it’s gently paraphrased scriptures about salvation. Besides great reading, it led to a good discussion about Jesus’ […]

It’s unbelievable that I haven’t ever posted this recipe. It’s a highly requested and anticipated dessert at Clearwater Community Church events. I’m not exaggerating when I say I make it probably 3x a month, sometimes once or twice a week, depending on what events our schedule holds. It is fail-proof. Seriously moist, and super-chocolatey, without […]

Thanks to procrastinating, today I’ve got a whole list of things that I really don’t want to do. My house needs some serious cleaning, and we’ve got our Life Group coming over tonight. Before I dove into the tasks, I sat down with my tea and the Word, and a prayer that God would guide […]

As we were brushing teeth her this evening, Analise said, “My tooth hurts!” I cringed, thinking how ironic that she could be getting a cavity before Halloween even arrives, and asked her to show me which tooth. Lo and behold, her front bottom (right) tooth wiggled a lot, and the one next to it wiggled […]

I just finished reading Andrew Peterson’s latest book, North! Or Be Eaten, and it was amazing! Before I get into the details of my review, here is the summary from the back cover in the edition published by Waterbook Press in 2009: First they found themselves On The Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness.

Wow… life as a kindergartner is amazing! Earlier this week, Analise came home telling me she had learned to spell. She explained how if you sound out a word, you can figure out the letters to spell. We proceeded to spell 10 three-letter words. It was so exciting! I explained to her how reading was […]

Analise pulled out her lacing cards this afternoon, which she hasn’t played with in months… or maybe even since Grandma Sandy was here last year! She said, “It’s been like a week since I played with these!” She’s just finally caught on to the go up from the bottom/go down from the top to “sew”. […]
