Obaby and I start our day by reading a Bible story. We love the Jesus Storybook Bible that we were given by sweet cousins and their two baby boys this summer. The book’s subtitle is “Every story whispers His name”, because the author, Sally Lloyd-Jones, uses each story to reveal the preparations God was making [...]
I came across the blog of an old high school friend last week, the premise of which is the fact that she lives “a life less ordinary”. Immediately, my blood pressure rose.

But I think I’ve done a disservice to our [...]

I haven’t participated in the ‘you capture’ challenge in a few weeks, and I didn’t think I was going to this week, either. The focus of the challenge (sorry…couldn’t help myself) is to give you the motivation to get out and take new [...]
Holy matrimonial week from Hades. Having a baby is hard on a marriage, there’s no way around that.
