Sorry it’s been awhile. I came down with the flu for about a week. Boy, was this the worst time to get sick!
We finally found a pentecostal/charismatic church. It’s 40 minutes away which is quite a bit when your last two churches were 10 and 2o minutes away but it gives Paul and I some [...]

Sorry it’s been a few days but there’s been very little to report. Thankfully, my mother-in-law is still with us. Her vitals have been good and stable and she’s been awake.

My Rock, My Fortress
This year has been a year of incredible ups and downs. Our lives have changed drastically from the way 2008 began. Most of you know my struggles with PPD made it clear to me that I had to leave my job and focus on my health and my home, my husband and my beautiful baby [...]

On a Day Like Today
On a day like today, when so many people are divided and frustrated… we could always use more Derek!
Before that, I just want to post what Paul says about love. I think we could all use a dose of God’s love today.
