The North Star
As I start this little blog this morning, I’d like to say THANK YOU to all of you who lifted prayers for us yesterday. They were felt and they made such a difference, thank you so much for your prayers and your kind words. God has guided us to continue to follow that North Star…

Slow Down to Speed Up
Yesterday morning after our work out our coach was leading us through some stretching exercises. As we began that process he said something that has stuck with me, he said, “Sometimes we have to slow down to speed up. Sometimes when you are training you have to drop down in weight to care for your…

My Little Angel
When I was growing up we didn’t have much, but at Christmas, my mom always tried to make things a little more special. I remember we had an artificial tree, and in its day, it was pretty cool. Back then of course you didn’t just whip it out of the box and watch the pre-lit…

The Cookies and the Kids
Boy doesn’t the title of today’s little blog sound like a great title for a movie? Well, maybe not so much, 🙂 . Anyway, just wanted to share a little about a fun event that is happening this weekend. Each year at our church, the second Sunday of December is “cookie Sunday”. Sounds pretty good…

Not How Many but What
Last night after dinner my husband and I spent time wrapping some gifts. Usually, after we’ve brought home packages, I go through and sort out the purchases by who they are going to.

The first weekend in December was always set aside for cutting down the real tree and decorating the house. Well this year due to some scheduling conflicts, we’re having to move things up a…

The Feelings of Thanksgiving
Here. We. Go. Prep work has already begun in many homes I’m sure. It did in mine last night with the brining of the pork. It was good to be back amid Thanksgiving meal prep, boy the memories sure are coming back. But, not just the memories, the feelings of years past are even better.…

Happy Holiday Week
Over the last few days, I’ve already begun to see social media posts of friends prepping for Thanksgiving. It’s been fun to see pictures of families starting to make stuffing, or prepare meatballs for the traditional soup. As I’ve shared before in this little blog, we used to host the McQueen Rally of the Clan…
