Recently, I shared that it’s been 1 year since Lee moved home. Lee said, “Only 1 year?” James said, “That’s all?” We feel a little like we’re in a time warp around here. It feels longer than a year to me too. Things are way better right now. Lee’s job is providing enough for us [...]

Each night, at bed time, we cuddle in bed. We say our prayers. His latest AWANA jewel required him to pray for a teacher, a friend, and a missionary. This was good. I had tried before to show him how to pray for others but it wasn’t quite clicking. Thanks to the AWANA project, he [...]

If you’ve peeked at my Pinterest boards you may have seen that I happen to really like a certain football team…. Several weeks ago, before the game, I saw this clip on the pre-game show. Even if you don’t love football, please watch it for me–it’s back story for the rest of the post. [...]
