MBM: Our New Home

Ahhh, my friends.  Thank you for your gracious love and support when I revealed our blunder.  Yes, Kelly G, we are indeed very, very, very human.   We have made many mistakes over the years and although we were hoping they were all behind us, we are so thankful that God covers mistakes and His…

The Hunt

This year Dw and I will have celebrated  35 Christmas’ married. Every year {with only 2 exceptions – for medical reasons} we have gone to cut down our Christmas trees. The tradition is one that we can’t miss. It’s just too stinkin’ fun. This year we wandered up to Flagstaff… we’d tried to get a…

Sliding.  Racing.  Screaming.  Giggling. This particular…

“Then I Saw His Face”

Isn’t it crazy how anxious we are as humans to see a face? It’s almost beyond understanding. Think back to when we were young.  You hear that a friend has “met someone”…and the only thing we think is, “What do they look like?” I’m right there with you. I remember talking to Lisa about setting…
