Do Not Grow Weary in Doing Good!

Published on August 29, 2006

Tonight Justin provided me with just what I needed. As I was tucking him in he said, “You’re the best Mommy I’ve ever had”. I laughed and said, “I’m the only Mommy you’ve ever had.” Then, he said, “You’re still the best Mommy I’ve ever had”. I told him that I […]

Psalms and “the wicked”

Published on

A year or so ago, Mark Mullery came to preach at our church and I haven’t read the Psalms the same since. He shed such light on my confusion. There is much in the Psalms about the righteous and the wicked. But, in light of the Gospel and the knowledge that we […]

This summer we have had some great fun at the pool and the kids have made some wonderful advances in their abilities. Nate is swimming really well and the swim coach gave him a free diving lesson one afternoon while we were at the pool. So, now he’s diving off the diving board […]

Garden Pictures

Published on

Well, I promised awhile back that I would post some pictures of our garden. I don’t have any recent ones, but here’s what it looked like at the beginning when things first started to grow.

The bunch of green things closest to the bottom are our radishes that we transplanted from the Ag Farm garden […]


Keep Fighting

Published on

Tim Challies and his wife just recently did a marathon of watching the Lord of the Rings movies (Challies). I thought what he shared about his favorite scene was very enlightening and thought-provoking.
My favorite scene in the entire series happens near the end of the final film. As you no doubt remember (it has, […]


Is God Really Responsible for THIS?

Published on August 25, 2006

This is a quote posted by Carolyn Mahaney at Girl Talk.
Hope it encourages many of my dear friends who are going through difficult times.
Love to God disposes men to see his hand in everything; to own him as the governor of the world, and the director of providence; and to acknowledge his disposal […]


Thank you!

Published on

Just wanted to say “Thanks” in public to my dear husband who spent time working on my blog when he didn’t really feel like it. And, I must add that I didn’t even ask him to!! It was all his initiative. So, Jeremy, “thank you” for thinking of me when there was […]

Thought so. Love you, hon!

Well, as you can see, Jeremy has finally figured out how to put pictures on my blog! He hasn’t taught me, though. So, this will be it for now. These are some pictures he just put up on Flickr. Jer and Nate went to our church’s Christian Service Brigade camp (a.k.a. […]


What is Tamra to Me?

Published on August 19, 2006

Tamra is my second Lela-friend. When my kids see a picture of me and Lela from my wedding they think it is me and Tamra. I met Tamra on August 8, 1999 and on September 18, 1999 my friend Lela went home to be with the Lord. Tamra and I were close […]
