One thing that I have grown to love even more over the last few weeks is the way our 3 1/2 year old son loves to imitate his daddy. We have a saying in our house when someone trips and falls (which is usually our little girl), we say, “Man Down”. It has gotten to […]
Unfailing Love
In everything I read yesterday, the theme of God’s unfailing love kept jumping out to me. Ephesians 3:16-19 tells me that He wants me to experience how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ. I am definitely experiencing it. At 5 pm yesterday, I received a call from the Radiologist, […]
Considering It Pure Joy
I must admit that over the last few days I have been having a little more trouble “considering it pure joy” (James 1:2). I have been feeling kind of down and wrestling with some silly thoughts. One of the things that has really helped me since this journey began is to work. I work with […]
