One Church Isn’t Good Enough
The following is a guest post written by Joel Arnold, missionary to the Philippines. My wife and I are professional church hoppers. You know, the kind of people that can never stay at one church long enough to build meaningful relationships and get involved before they go somewhere else? That’s us. And we do it…

I Climbed a Mountain
I climbed a mountain. It’s the largest one known to man. {Or should I say woman?} There’s nothing worse than several loads of laundry all piled up and waiting to be folded. I take that back. There are many things worse than that. {p.s. Do you know how to make your laundry disappear in 20…

A Dirty Towel
On Friday, I decided to take pictures of some accessories I’ve made. I grabbed my kids, camera, accessories, and a white towel to use as a backdrop. Unfortunately, the first place I started taking pics was pretty soggy & muddy, so I decided to relocate so Nate didn’t get soaked while crawling. There I was,…

Focus…Focus…
Picture this: You’re standing in front of a great body of water. Let’s call it a sea. You hear something behind you. As you turn around, you see something far off in the distance… can’t quite make it out, but the sound is growing louder… and louder… until you can see chariots… over 600 chariots.…

1 Good Run
Remember that sickness I told you about last Wednesday? I thought it was something I would be over in a couple days or so. But the fact is…it just kept hanging on…and on…and on. In fact, I came up with a little summary of my sick time: It’s true. I stopped running when I…

Lonely Croc
This blessing in disguise is actually from when we were on vacation. Thus the sand: We did a lot of bike riding while on vacation. Some friends gave us a bike trailer for Anna Grace & Nate to ride in and they loved it. They even slept in it during some of our long rides.…

A Sign of the Times
Most parents of kids will understand this sight: It’s the sign of a well-used vehicle. One which contains children – perhaps multiple children. Let’s play I Spy, shall we? I spy a hairclip, teething toy, teddy grahams, pretzels, some sort of green stain from who-knows-what, and a host of crumbs. I once heard a man…

Stinky Stinger
The other day, I was out walking with Jonathan & our two kiddos. It was an early evening and we were just taking a little stroll before putting the kids down for bed. I noticed quite a few wildflowers on the side of the trail and decided to bring some of them home. After putting…

What a Drain
Why yes, I did mean that literally: Last week, the water refused to drain well in my bathtub. What.a.pain. Of course, I took this picture after I cleaned out the drain. As I was thinking about how annoyed I was that the water wouldn’t drain & how disgusting it was to clean, I happened to…

Busy-ness
Happy Monday to you! How was your weekend? Profitable or relaxing, I hope. Mine was kinda crazy. That’s because this sickness has really pinned me down. I thought I was pretty much over it by Thursday. Then Friday morning hit and wow – I felt like I got slammed by a truck. I drank a…

It’s All God.
Favored by his Daddy. Rejected by his siblings. Sold to be a slave. Lied about. Thrown into prison. Forgotten. Any of you ever had that many blessings in disguise? “As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as…
