The Spirit of Christmas

I am so bummed that Christmas is over!  People start putting away decorations and taking down the lights…but NO…not me. I plan on leaving mine up until at least mid-January.  I want to hang on to the magic as long as possible!
Our Christmas program was incredible at church!  God showed up in a huge way [...]

The Wonder of It All

I love Christmas A LOT!! Seeing it through the eyes of an adult is so different than through the eyes of a child! I love the smells, the lights, the hustle and bustle, FAMILY, music, pictures, food..you name it. Most of all, I love the story of the Birth of Christ, the magic of the [...]

Proud to be an American!

I know I am a few days late for blogging about Memorial Day, but my week has been hectic!!

Happy Easter

What a fun Easter we had!  Saturday was an amazing service at church.  Pastor Mike talked about Hope.  I can so remember when I thought I was all out.  God is such an amazing God to forgive us everytime we seem to screw up.  In our marriages, in our family life, in our teenage years…God [...]
