“Over the years, I have come to realize that the greatest trap in our life is not success, popularity, or power, but self-rejection.

“The most wasted of all days is one without laughter.” – E.E. Cummings I have a long-time friend. We spend our time together either laughing or crying….more crying lately….and that’s ok.

Basketball practice, for Daeden this afternoon, was the first chance I’ve had to myself today….minus Deke and a gym full of little boys yelling and screaming at each other while shooting hoops. On the bench we sat, Deke with his crackers, playing Fruit Ninja on my phone, as I cracked open a magazine I have [...]

IF EVERY WORD I SAID COULD MAKE YOU LAUGH, I’D TALK FOREVER…. These two make me believe even more in the sovereignty of God. That His plans do not always line up with mine…. But are SO WAY better. Eight and five Does it get any better than that! We spend days reading books, laughing, [...]
