I just got off of the phone with one of my best friends. We met in college and have been friends ever since. We don’t get to see each other as often as we’d like, but we know we’re always there for each other. I decided to write a little post on friendships and then began searching for a picture of friends on my computer. Since my computer was stolen a few years ago, I have a limited record of {Read More}

Matthew 11:28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. I feel like I’m working on this lately. ”Come” Jesus says. I just love this verse. When we’re frazzled and at our wits end with exhaustion Jesus says “come.” He knows just what we need. He will give us rest. After that rest, renewal, purpose and the wisdom and strength to move on. We sometimes just need those moments of rest. How many {Read More}

I’m.eating.my.words.Anything I said I would “never do” as a parent (before I was a parent) somehow sneaks into things. ;-) The theme is Dr. Seuss, and more specifically Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb. Why, you ask!? It was a favorite book from when {Read More}
