A couple of  blogs back, we talked about the significance of seemingly insignificant verses in God’s Word. Two days ago I experienced this again first hand. Sometimes when I begin my morning time with the Lord I’ll feel prompted to just ask, “Lord, where do you want me to read today? What do you have […]

During our “be fruitful and multiply” years, Aunt Margie and Uncle Harold were a life-line to sanity for Kurt and myself. One day a week we dropped our little people off at their place for some extra TLC including (but not limited to) outdoor playtime, Barney on the tube, stories, songs, naps, Harold’s amazing grilled […]
