Little Miss Update

Little Miss had an online language arts homeschool assignment today and created this newsy newspaper. I love her heart! Don’t you? And obviously the way to her heart is through pretzels…so, there’s that. Thank you for reading, for sending us out and praying. We appreciate you!

An Update from the Mrs.

Conflict makes me uncomfortable. When Sam and I first got married, I didn’t know how to deal with conflict in our marriage. If we would enter into any intense conversation, I would shrink back and shut down. It took time, patience on both our parts and guts on my part to open my mouth and […]

Eyes on the Prize

This picture gives me smiles. A key element of focus is being able to adjust to the distance and to block out any distractions. Katie has a knack for this, and it serves her well in sports. She is able to keep her eye on the ball. This being said, focus is an area where […]
