I was telling a friend today about a song I really enjoy- Don’t Blink by Kenny Chesney. I can’t hear the song without crying, but can’t watch the video without giggling- Luke does a hilarious KC impression.
This past week we volleyed a bad cold. The youngest two got hit the worst, as usual, and many days were spent trying my best to keep them comfortable. Both babies would want held at the same time, and considering the third baby I am always holding, it could often get overwhelming. I was thankful [...]
My friend Angela shared this sweet video with me. I can’t help but think how much this couple would have missed if they had sold out to our modern culture’s view of life’s value. Instead, they have left a legacy of love and life to all who have ears to hear.
For the promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off, as many as the Lord our God will call to Himself. Acts 2:39 This verse brings special encouragement to me today. Many times I feel like one who is “far off”, unsure of just how to get back to [...]
My friend Jean celebrates a birthday tomorrow. We have been friends since we were 11, so it isn’t surprising that many things make me think of her, remind me of something we did together. Tonight I was sewing up a cloth diaper, and there isn’t a time I sit down to my machine that I [...]

Let the consequences be what they would: I from this time determined that I would never rest until I had effected its abolition. ~William Wilberforce William Wilberforce was mightily used by God to [...]

We needed milk tonight, and Luke would stop to get it after working on the house, probably bringing it home pretty late. Baby C has done alright just drinking water when this happens, but I couldn’t be certain what his temperament would be like this evening when the milk ran out. So, I decided to [...]
We got pizza tonight for Baby C’s birthday. The girls had earned free pizzas at Pizza Hut from our library for a reading challenge, and the rest of us would do Donato’s. I had noticed on a Donato’s commercial the other day that their large pizzas were $10.45 right now, to celebrate the chain’s 45th [...]
