What do you get when you cross three children who are growing faster than a speeding bullet and a tight budget? Frustration. When we were in full time youth ministry, I had friends who would pass little boy stuff on to me for Max. I don’t think I ever had to buy him a jacket [...]

I thought I’d pass along something that made me smile.
Donating Platelets

That’s my plan for Monday morning. This is one of the easiest ways I give back to my community. In less than 2 hours, I can change the world for someone else. I copied this from the website of the hospital where I donate every 6-8 weeks:
When you become a volunteer blood donor you give:

Prayer Request Update

Thank you all for praying for my friends. Unfortunately the hearing has been rescheduled for next Wednesday morning. They are under a tremendous amount of stress and waiting makes it even worse. Please continue to pray for them. Lifting others up to the Father is a privilege whether we know them [...]

I have a friend who is going to court this afternoon. He has had some legal trouble and has to appear in court to find out if he will be able to continue to live at home with his children and wife. I am not at liberty to share details, but I can tell you [...]

It’s Sunday afternoon and I’m sitting here at the dining room table looking out a window that faces the mountains. Actually, most of the windows in this house have a pretty fantastic view of them. The weather today is absolutely beautiful and I am a little sad that I’ll be leaving in a few hours [...]
Weekend Get Away

I’ve been trying to take this trip for 4 months now. I’ve been snowed out of Buena Vista not once, but twice. I’m going this weekend if I have to snowshoe in! I was actually there a few weeks ago with my whole family, but this time, I’m going alone. Well, not alone, Heather is [...]
Gratituesday: God’s Provision
Posted in Gratituesday on April 15, 2008 | 3 Comments »
I know this is getting posted late. This seems to be the week for that. I joined the rest of the procrastinators that didn’t mail their tax forms off until today. It has been a long day.
Not to copy Laura’s theme from last week, but today I am most grateful for God’s provision [...]
