Well, good morning CF. Or good-whatever time of day your in. :) Here in my neck of the woods it is 6:19am, and my adorable baby girl is snoring as she lays on my chest. I wanted to talk about....the fruits, I guess you could say, of being a Christian. Or at least what it means to me. To me...

In one of my blogs I describe a moment I had walking into school ( I can't recall the title so if you want to know what I'm talking about I guess you'll have to go back and read all of them. A shameless plug? Perhaps.) in this moment I suddenly saw things differently. Instead of cars, I saw what...

I have been a bit hesitant in posting this one. But here goes nada. I appreciate any feedback. A few days ago I took my kids to the playground. There is a large section of rocks, just rocks (something was there once upon a time). My four year old son and an older boy were playing in these rocks...

" Teach Me O Lord to follow your decrees, then I will keep them to the end. Give me understanding, and I will keep your law and obey it with all my heart. Direct me in the path of your commands, for there I find delight. Turn my heart toward your statutes and not toward selfish gain. Turn my...

Recently my four year has started saying "somebody" in reference to himself. For example, if he falls, he will say, "Uh oh, somebody fell." "Somebody" also takes mommy's drink, gets a boo boo, etc. My son's new quirk has had me thinking. Especially as I spent time with mom today. How often do we...
