Easter Series (Introduction)

   Easter is right around the corner. The day that has been hidden by candy and fluffy bunnies still manages to shine through all of that to show the Truth, the Way, and the Light. It’s so easy to forget the reason behind the best day in history by the show that the world puts [...]

New Theme!

 Hey guys,
 You might of noticed that there is a slight, ok, big change of theme. I was getting sick of my old one and felt it was uninviting and sort of cold, nothing like me. :) I also have a bunch of other reasons for the switch… one of them being that I wanted the [...]

Welcome to the Party

 Welcome to my blog party! 5 Minutes for Mom’s is hosting the Ultimate Blog Party with hundreds (and maybe thousands) of bloggers and even though I am sure not a mom, I thought it would be a great way to network my blog and meet new blog palls. So for all those coming over from the [...]

Does God Need Us?

 In the church there tends to be a constant (and rightful) focus on doing things for God. Going out and witnessing, helping the poor and hungry, ministering to others, and being a light to the darkness. These are all awesome and amazing things and it’s right and good to serve God.

Project Rescue

 I’m obsessed. I realized that quite awhile ago but it’s hitting me again.  What is this obsession of mine, you ask? What is this thing that when I hear it I instantly sit up strait in my chair and excitedly look at my friends with a smile on my face? Or make me want to break [...]

My Family Grew!

 For a really long time we have been hoping that our family would grow a little more. We were just far too small (in my opinion) with only three children and five people total.  Well now our family is officially “hefty” as I put it. :) This last Friday we added two little boys to our [...]

The Call (Monthly Poetry Challenge)

 Before I post my poetry, I need to mention how I was inspired for this poem. My dear friend Abigail’s mom, Lynnette Kraft, wrote a wonderful book that I am currently reading entitled In Faithfulness He Afflicted Me. It’s about her personal story of loosing three of her nine children. In one part of the book [...]

The Greatest Power For Change

 I live in a tough area of the country. Drugs and alcohol abuse run strong and there are as many bars as churches, if not more. It’s the most unchurched county in the state. Teen alcoholism, STDs, and pregnancies run high. There are children as young as four roaming the streets in the town. A [...]
