What do Jesus and Easter Egg Hunts Have in Common?
Driving home from our Easter Egg Hunt Playdate this morning, I heard the song, Come to the Table for the first time. With my 3 little men in the backseat, not all crying for once (hooray!), I was able to hear and think about the lyrics. This Holy Week, they have even a deeper meaning as I ponder what it…

Lions, Tigers and Bears…Blow Outs, Flat Tires and Traffic Oh My!

Think about that. He could have done something else, but He chose speaking as His primary agent for creation. Christ is also known…

9.19.14: The Day Caleb Paul Made His Arrival!
(**Originally published Oct 2014, on dancingthroughtheminefields.blogspot.com) I sit here with a precious baby sleeping on my chest. I still cannot really believe he is ours- our son, a little bit of Bryan and me and generations past and perfect for us, such a gift from God. I’ve only been a Mom for 3 weeks, and they have been 3 very…
