Every good and perfect gift is from above." James 1:17. Wednesday, January 29, 2014. Making The Choice To Love. Note: This wasn't meant to be my next blog. I just really felt compelled to write it.

Every good and perfect gift is from above." James 1:17. Saturday, May 9, 2015. If Not Us Then Who? The left lateral lobe of my liver and its coordinating ducts, arteries, and veins are being removed (roughly 1/4 of my liver), along with my gallbladder. The super cool part about this is that they are taking that hunk of my liver and transplanting it into a baby who direly needs it. So, why am I doing this? 1 I don't believe God would present me with this if He wasn't prepared to take me through it. I'm no...

To which I very simply and half-brained replied, "Draw a picture of the thing that makes you happiest.". On Friday, party Saturday, 8 hours in the car Sunday. BORING. Needed her to wake up. She looks at me ...

Every good and perfect gift is from above." James 1:17. Monday, April 20, 2015. A Lesson on Trust from Joseph. Oh, Joseph. He is one of the smartest kids that I know. His reading AND his comprehension are past the high school level, his memory is insanely accurate, and his ability to make sense out of what he's learned is far above his years. Far above. So, why is this important? It helps you understand Joseph and understand my point in writing this blog. Him and daily with. The very day Joseph moved in ...
