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 [...]

Just Being Human
4 Jun
Yesterday Paul and his siblings had to make the difficult decision of putting his mom in hospice. They considered in-home care but with the amount of pain that she’s in it would be better for her to be in a hospice facility where she can have round-the-clock care.

Deja Vu
In 2001, Paul lost his sister Kristi to a brain tumor after an 11-year long battle. As the tumor and its affects began to overtake her brain, her mental and physical abilities began to decline. Paul and his extended family are now forced to watch his mother go through the same thing at a much [...]

Perspective
A lot of people have mentioned to me that it’s pretty incredible that I uprooted my life to support my husband in moving out to Pennsylvania. This is odd to me because, quite frankly, Paul is my life. Our lives became one almost six years ago. His family is my family. His needs are my [...]

I am the end of apathy…
We saw this video in church on Sunday. An incredibly impactful message that I can’t even begin to summarize. Paul and I walked out feeling more than just an emotional charge. We left sensing a heavy burden on our hearts that is still as strong at this very moment as it was the moment I [...]

Wonderful Opportunities
Last night, I was crying to a friend about the direction my life has taken. Paul and Derek are wonderful, but I went from working in a field that I desire to do be in for the rest of my life (music ministry) to retail (selling jeans). It has been a humbling experience, to say [...]

My Barbaric YAWP!
When I was a kid my family would go to a dinner and a movie every weekend. It was our family time. My dad usually picked the movies. Which, in retrospect, was fine because he usually had pretty good taste in movies. Back in 1989, “Dead Poets Society” was released in the movie theatre and [...]
