This video says more in 4 minutes than I could every say! A picture is worth a thousand words!!! 18 years ago we followed God’s leading to the alter, not fully knowing what the future held. We vowed before God and loved one’s to spend the rest of our lives together! Looking over pictures from…

My oldest son, Robby is 16 years old, and will be getting his driver’s license in two very short days! He has his own lawn mowing business, job as a lifeguard this summer, and he is actively involved in his youth group. While on vacation this week, I was able to spend time observing his…

Tonight, I messed up!  I admit it, I failed to pause and responded out of frustration. Without going into the entire story, let me just say, my flesh got the best of me this evening!  To be honest, the weight of my failure tonight is quite heavy!  This evening, I responded to a situation in…

There are only a few things in life that really irritate me. One thing that irritates me the most is when people are “fake” or “inauthentic”.

The long-dreaded 40th birthday arrived yesterday!  For whatever reason, 40 has been a dreaded birthday since I was 20 years-old.  I recall on my 20th birthday I struggled with the thought of being half-way to 40, I realize this is strange!  Honestly it is one of the few things in life that caused me anxiety.…

You, my dear are a part of me… a wonderful addition to my soul. Together we’re better… somehow more whole. When we’re apart… the void is immense. The pain at times… entirely too intense. My heart has been yours since our eyes first met. Summer youth camp 94’… A week I will never forget. After…

  I can’t believe 13 years-ago to the day, this wonderful gift joined our family!  None of us knew what we were getting ourselves into, especially his older brother Robby, but Christopher was the perfect addition to our family!  In fact, Christopher and Robby have the most amazing bond and for some crazy odd reason……
