Finding Joy in the Journey
It feels like we're bombarded with messaging from all sides some days...right? Sometimes it's hard to sort it out, to make sense of it and to decide what sits with us for the long run. One of the messages I've been seeing crop up a lot, and discussed even more, is the "prosperity" gospel. If... Continue Reading →
What a ride 2017 has been. Thanks for your patience as I get myself together and get this blog that has seen various shapes and formats over time back on track! Today, I had the chance to spend the day at Hersheypark with good friends of ours - guys, I'm talking do life together even... Continue Reading →
I wrote this piece awhile back, while we were in NC for a publication. Plans changed a bit, so I thought I'd still share here! Where does your faith come from? How do you feel close to the Lord? These questions rocked my world, brought me to my knees and changed my life for... Continue Reading →
The past week - or rather, the past year culminating in the past week - has felt like a whirlwind...sometimes more like a downward spiral where it feels harder and harder to catch my breath. I've been watching the news, reading updates, taking in what my friends and those close to me have to say... Continue Reading →
For those of you who have been following along with our adventure...whether it's been for the past few months, or the past few years...THANK YOU. Your support has meant the world!

I have to admit. I went to bed early last night. The tension was too high, no one knew what exactly was going on and the pressure from both sides felt immense.

I've tried to hold off for awhile now. But, after much thought, I can't anymore. I have to add my voice, or at least a small story to the discussion that's been taking over our nation. I'm not going to say who should vote for who, who would be the best candidate, or what the... Continue Reading →
We're coming home. We're also leaving home. When we moved to Asheville, we had no idea what was in store. We knew we likely wouldn't be here forever, that it was a part of our journey, probably not the destination...but something happened that we never expected...Asheville became home. Coming to this beautiful place, surrounded by... Continue Reading →
Just thinking about it all brings tears to my eyes and a million feelings I didn't expect! But, as the title implies, tomorrow my baby enters this big world on his own two feet...tomorrow, my boy starts kindergarten. Saying those words makes me think back. I think back to the months we waited for his... Continue Reading →
I don't know where to start....except to say that, like most Americans, today, I woke with a heavy heart. Before going on, I want to be clear...this is not a result of last night's shooting in Dallas, or the live-streamed shooting that went public preceeding it. That was not my tipping point. Although it did... Continue Reading →
