    the Trust Journal

    Today marks an important day in my home: it’s the beginning of another semester of seminary for Jonathan. This semester, he’s taking 12 credits.

    Last week, I was shopping at Aldi in intensely h.o.t. weather. As I was sweatily putting groceries into my car, another vehicle parked right next to me. A lady jumped out of the passenger seat and came up to me. “Can I have your cart?” she asked, holding out 25 cents in exchange. “Oh, sure!”…

    Hang On to This:

    Ever gone through a trial? If there’s one thing that’s attacked during a trial, it’s your view of God. And most likely, the first thing to be questioned is His goodness.

    Memorial Day. And I thought this a fitting quote to share:   To all those who have given friends, family, loved ones, and heros for my freedom – thank you. We’ll be back on Wednesday with Step 3 in our Curb Appeal {on the cheap!} series. But today, give thanks for the many freedoms we…
