That Fuzzy Stuff

If you’ve stopped by our Place more than a few times you’ve come to understand that one of my most favorite things to talk about is not only how much God loves to hear our concerns but how much more He loves to answer them and just how faithful He always is! For years I…

The Runner’s Lesson

Most mornings, as the sun starts to rise, I head out the door for some brisk walking.  Lately a high school track team has been coming around while I’m walking.  I have to be honest, I like to close my eyes as they approach and pretend they are horses coming through as their feet “thud-thud-thud”…

Safari!!

What a privilege it was to be able to go on a safari after all these trips to Uganda!  I just had to share the pics with you all!! Here’s a snippet: Giraffes are a personal fav of mine.  Look at how majestic they are!   The wart hogs were adorable.  I giggled whenever I…

And it’s so very contrary to much of the world’s view. The kind of thing that many dismiss as “old-fashioned”. But truthfully, this story must be…

16 Seconds of Pure Bliss!

This girl!! Miss Ruby Grace has been at it again!  We’ve been praying for 3 years for this… Each accomplishment she makes, albeit the ones that take 4.5 years to achieve, are no less spectacular at our home – and we are throwing a doggone celebration!! Last week when Abi and her boys were visiting…

Bear With Me….

Some days are just easy to skip through.  Exciting times.  Joyful events. Then there are other days.   The kind that are marked by grief.   Or sadness.
