Remember when God said “Not Yet” to a prayer of mine? The first week of January, He changed His answer. I didn’t think it was the right time — I had to work a wedding that same day and it would mean leaving the house at 8:30 AM without getting home until after 11… [...]
Newsboys have been my ultimate favorite band since I can remember. I’ve had this one stuck in my head all the livelong day today and I just had to share. And I don’t think it’s the Newsboys that I like so much as it is Peter Furler. His solo album is amazing. Anyhow, the [...]
Lots more almost ready! We had these with dinner tonight and they were delicious. Also, here are a few of Korben “protecting” the house.
I’m running pretty behind in blogging. Sorry. Frontierville has kinda taken over the free time as I play that with the boys in my lap. It’s precious time when they’ll actually let me hold them, so I indulge. My oldest just turned five. I cannot believe how quickly it seems that he reached this age. [...]
Happy Easter.
We didn’t do any baskets, eggs, candy, dying, or any of that. I might be compelled to attempt to do a fraction of it if I didn’t have a wee little man, but everything. EVERYTHING. is harder with a baby. Maybe next year. That’s become my mantra. No bluebonnets? That’s okay. Maybe next [...]
I hear the Savior say,
“Thy strength indeed is small;
Child of weakness, watch and pray,
Find in Me thine all in all.”
Jesus paid it all,
All to Him I owe;

He washed it white [...]
HCBC NW’s PACT Ministry’s Alpha and Omega Art Exhibit Opening reception (whew that was a mouthful) was Friday night and, as usual, I got to shoot it for the Worship Team. I didn’t take nearly as many pictures as I have in the past but I think I got some more creative shots this year [...]
I hear that new tires make all the difference. Dave agrees. He took the van in this morning to Discount Tires and got a set of new BF Goodrich Precept Touring tires. The old [...]

Every year, our church has what they call a Concert of Praise. It’s an evening service held with all of the Hill Country Bible Churches in the association. This year, there were so many churches (due to church planting!) that the concert had to be split between “East side – [...]
Before kids, I was the one with the camera. Everywhere. Taking pictures. Tons of them. Even if it was annoying to other people. Now that I’ve had kids, it seems I have traded “babies” and completely forgotten about being the shutterbug.
So, when we invited some friends over for lunch today, partly to show off [...]
My mom and dad came down yesterday afternoon and surprised us with a new garage door opener (and a drill for David) for Father’s Day. David and my dad got to spend the rest of the day installing it in the garage (which was a virgin garage, never having had a garage door [...]
