I recently asked myself this question…...

If what I value was based on what I spend my time on… what do I value? I know the answer to that question, even if I wanted to try and deny or justify what I spend most of my time on, my kids and husband could probably reassure me that my own personal assessment was correct therefore disqualifying...

Blog Hiatus...

I am going to be going on a bit of a blog hiatus for the next week and a bit. I am diving heart-first into a time of seeking God for a few current things that are going to take a bit more listening and wrestling. Why the break? Because I don't want to be tempted to write before I wrestle. With a...

Is It Worth the Wait?...

Every year in the summer we go fishing at my parents place. We fish off a dock and the kids catch sunfish or we take the boat out and try for some bigger stuff.

NOMAMMA – NIGHT ONE...

Everything was going great…until bedtime. Emma fully realized that Mom wasn't coming home. Then she grasped that Ally (sister) wasn't either. Our kids share a room (2 boys in one, 2 girls in the other). Emma didn't want to sleep alone. I didn't want to sleep in Ally's bed....

Pain Beyond Words....

I read this story today and it pains me beyond words. But this isn't about me or what I feel. This is about them and what they are going through. I don't know the Chapman's, but that does not matter. I know the God who knows them. Take a moment today and lift them up in prayer. You can leave...

Bye, Bye Lori...

Lori left this morning to spend the weekend with her family in St. Catharines. That means its Daddy Day Care for the next four days. 1 Dad4 Kids I am outnumbered, but I can't wait. I am up for the adventure whatever it may be. Well, that might not be totally true. Lori is on call in case the other...
