Awaking to the Aching
I feel the pain in my hands and arms first, even before my eyes open. It’s not new to me. But this morning it overwhelms. The ache of arthritis. I don’t want to move. My elbows. They cry out as I prop myself up. I swing my legs around to the floor. The knees that […]
Simple Suppers for the Holidays
Over the Thanksgiving weekend I surveyed the December calendar. Seeing that there was not but just a bit of white space here and there on each calendar date helped me decide. Time for simple suppers. I know I’m not the only one needing to take deep breaths when I look at the blessings filling up […]

Double Standard?
My Family Is there a double standard where kids are concerned? All parents, o.k., I take that back, most parents no matter how strict or loose they parent have certain standards set up for their kids. What standards am I speaking of?

One a Day: Slow the Season Down
Planning and Goal Setting Part 2 “We should make plans – counting on God to direct us.” Proverbs 16:9 What if…in this season of thanksgiving…What if we thought about one person per day.

We interrupt…
…the regularly scheduled posting to announce and celebrate a brand new, happy, healthy baby boy! Kendra delivered sweet Camden last week. She, Eric and the three big brothers are enjoying an early Thanksgiving. Lo, children are a heritage of the Lord, and the fruit of the womb is His reward. ~ Psalm 127:3 Please feel […]
Cookies & Milk Birthday Party
Youngest girl was to have her first friend party last week. Unfortunately we had to cancel at the last minute because of sickness. But we still may squeak in a celebration some how before Thanksgiving. The theme was Cookies, Milk and Bedtime Stories, an idea I got from Everyday Celebrating. The simpler the better, I […]

Pay it Forward
When we were first married my sister gave us some of the most useful advice that we’ve ever received. Way back before I had ever heard of Dave Ramsey, she told us all about how they never put Christmas presents on credit cards. She said they determined how much they needed to spend and then […]
Letting Go
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7 I’ve read this passage many times and it is one of my favorites. But […]
Honor your father and your mother
Growing up, Wednesday nights weren’t always church nights. I wasn’t a G.A. I didn’t know all my Bible verses. Wednesday nights were for sailing. For racing. The whole day I’d check the tops of the trees. Was the wind good for tonight? Then, leaving late afternoon, driving the hour to the lake. The tilt of […]
