Music
Owl City is one of my very favorite singers. No, it is not a band. It consists of one person, Adam Young. I have pretty much all of his album Ocean Eyes, and it is amazing. He just recently recorded his own version of In Christ Alone.

Big 6 Great Dates
Part Two of Dating Your Husband When I was a young, silly, new mother, my mother did something that blessed my marriage. She saw the overwhelm disguised as ‘sure, I know how to handle all this.’ And she offered my husband and me a weekly date night. She set the terms. She gently explained that, […]
