He’s Alive and I’m Forgiven!
Jesus Christ is alive! What an amazing thought to wrap our minds around. He’s alive. His tomb is empty. We serve a risen Savior. A mighty God. The only One who can save us from death & hell. What joy! What peace. So, every Easter I have to play this song. And I cry every time. What sweet relief [...]
Breaking the Silence
Hi. I know I’ve been quiet now for a long time. Ever have one of those days … weeks … months … when you need to be quiet for awhile? Yeah, me too. Let’s just say it’s been a rainy season … in more ways than one. (This was taken from inside the car – [...]
InstaFriday
Happy Friday! It’s weeks like these that I really love California … The sun is shining, the flowers are blooming, and the skies are amazing. And the crazy ridiculous heat is just a distant memory. Or a future terror. Depending on how you look at it … Each of my four kids have gone through flower [...]
Superbowl Sunday
I think I spoke too soon about loving February. Things haven’t slowed down yet. But I’ll keep waiting. Holding out hope … In the meantime, here’s some snaps of our Superbowl Sunday. We live on the edge. How was your weekend?
I Love You, February!
I am so happy it’s the first day of February. Not because I have any particular fondness for this specific month, but mainly because it means January is done. Finished. Over. Never to be seen again. Can you tell I’ve had a bit of a busy start to the year? Crazy. But January deadlines are done [...]

InstaFriday
Here’s some snapshots of our week. With some from last Friday too, just because I’m behind like that. Took the kids shopping to use their Christmas money and Target gift cards from sweet far-away family. They had so much fun picking stuff out. And I’m pretty sure these are the only things they’ve played with all week. [...]
Pinterest = Inspiration
Is there anyone out there who hasn’t discovered Pinterest yet? Either way, allow me to sing its praises for a moment. For creative, artsy types, Pinterest is what a website should be. An endless inspirational bulletin board. With a dash of organization thrown in for good measure. The perfect marriage of words & visuals (can you tell I love those [...]
Sickness (and Allergies) Can Be Good for Creativity
2012 has been kind of a hard year for me. I know, I know. All 17 days of it. I’ve had a stubborn head cold since approximately … New Year’s Eve. It came on rather suddenly after putting away the Christmas decorations and cleaning the garage. Coincidence? Well, maybe. But I’m starting to think I have a genuine allergy to [...]
Hope For The New Year
Happy 2012! This is my prayer for you (and me) this year … May the God of hope fill you with all joy & peace as you trust in Him so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. (Romans 15.13)
