You don’t know Jack, I mean Jesus

you dont know jack, jesus

  I love to be asked to pray for people.  I am happy to do it.  And I ask people to pray for me… and I hope they do it. But here is my battle cry, I don’t know Jesus better than you. I am not closer to Him than you. Here is the truth:…

The Road Home…

the road home

It is imperative for me to have a plan. This is the stumbling block to my deepest faith. I need to know. I need a plan. As I aimlessly wander about I am in desperate need of a plan. Honestly, I wish I believed in fortune telling. If I knew precisely the end result, I…

Here's How It's Gonna Be....

Our four-year-old son Sam is a riot. Perhaps because he is so much younger than our four biological children, he is used to being the center of attention. He is accustomed to his demands and commands being heard and implemented. We all roar laughing when he says, “Wisten to me, here’s how it’s gonna be….…

by no means

Simply stated:  Ugh. When I say we didn’t sleep – we were up from 1:15-6:00 am with a raging lunatic toddler.  What is that?   Do little people not know the agony associated with this enormous gap in normal sleep habits?  Granted, he was … gassy?  Teething?
