Year: 2003

I have mentioned probably a few too many times that we are currently going through the study called Experiencing God. It has been great and we have learned tons from this – not the least of which is just to open our eyes and see God working in our lives. And God has given us…

Today is Jen’s brother’s birthday. He turned 40 today! Awesome! I was just thinking of him as I was going to type this BLOG entry about the rich young man (also called the rich young ruler)… he matches most of those qualifiers — except the young part today I guess!!! 🙂 We did a worship…

We were at Subway today grabbin’ a little lunch – just me and the boys – and I noticed a little something about the way most of us look at things. I had both the boys, so I could not order and take care of them, so I just watched what they were doing, and…

I have just been thinking recently how fast our kids will grow up. Life is already so different from when we brought Ian home from the hospital. We don’t deal with is he eating enough food? How many wet diapers did he have today? Now we are trying to figure out how to help him…

Today, just wanted to introduce you to some cool friends of ours. Their names are Justin & Tasha Golden. Together in public they are known as "Dividing The Plunder".

Happy Halloween!!! I don’t know about you, but I had a lot of fun on this holiday growing up. My mom would help us find (or MAKE us) the COOLEST costumes, and we’d go around to friends, family, and neighbors’ houses say the magic phrase "Trick Or Treat!", smile, and get FREE CANDY! I remember…

I just wanted to add some more on the fantastic faith story of Ian’s watershoe. 🙂 Just some thoughts from my head throughout the whole thing… Can God Really Do It? That thought obviously kept going through my head. In a way. You know, I really had no problem believing that God COULD bring Ian’s…

Just a quick update on Ian’s shoe… We got up this morning at 7am, which is like 3 hours before Ian usually gets up! We walked right out the door (Dad & Ian) and headed to the beach. We were asking God to show us where He put the shoe… and we started looking. We…

I was humbled again. By my son Ian. I love it when he does that. Really. We were praying, and sometimes Ian is a bit embarrassed to talk with God in front of people – even mom & dad. Tonight he was again… but He decided to…. A bit of background… We went to the…

Today has been a day that I have longed for home again. This time I mean the tall yellow house in Palmyra, NY. 🙂 Just, when I load the dishwasher in this awesome temporary home, I think – wish I was loading ours… and when I take a shower, I think, wish I was in…
