I am not being super spiritual
How do we do what we do? Is there some secret we are not sharing with you? No. I am not being secretive or trying to brush you off by sounding super spiritual. You can do what I/we do, too.

Recording memories and milestones
I am curious. Do any of you keep journals or planners that record your family’s or your own memories and milestones?

Obedience
No, this post is not about teaching our children obedience. But instead it is about our own obedience to the Lord. Seeking the Lord for 2017 I have been seeking the Lord for a verse or word for the coming year. I always try to do it so as to have an anchor of sorts […] Read more…
