A number of years ago our family found ourselves in a relatively new season in which we had transitioned where we were living and ministering. I was in a somewhat vulnerable state, licking my wounds per se, from a previous season in which we had walked through some pretty heartbreaking circumstances and broken relationships.

This past week our local grocery store had a sale on bulk bin items. This made a prime time to purchase hulled sesame seeds to make a homemade tahini (sesame seed paste). I was able to purchase about 3 cups of sesame seeds for only $2.50! This was a great deal and I’ll be able … Continue reading
Recently we were reminding ourselves as we talked with our kids about how Jesus has healed each one of them: Child #1 – healing and restoration from polyarticular juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, Child #2 – miraculously healing a calcaneovalgus deformed foot, Child # 3 – healing from food allergies, Child #4 – healing from no common … Continue reading
My birthday this past week landed me with the only thing I had on my “wish list”. A Ninja Chef Duo blender.

We had some good friends over last night whom we hadn’t seen for years! It was so great getting to catch up and just chat about memories, life and everyday things.
