Road weary
The summer of weddings and travel and triathlons and visiting friends and family was fantastic, but I think I'm tired of being out of town down to my very soul!

Lovely lady dressed in blue
I just found this very old little prayer card while cleaning up my desk. God sends me little things like this to encourage and sustain me when I'm having a hard time (like today). Interestingly, my scripture meditation this morning was on coming to Christ with the faith and trust of a little child. ... Read More about Lovely lady dressed in blue
I need to read!
Michael and I have established that I like to read books about parenting and babies, and he doesn't. He feels that--for the most part--everything will just "come to us" with parenting. I, on the other hand, strongly believe in getting as much advice and how-to as I need from friends, books and ... Read More about I need to read!
