Ever-Present Help
God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble. — Psalm 46:1
This passage is speaking in the context of persecution and war, but the statement is true for all children of God. He is our true refuge, our strength, and our great High Priest is very near in time of need. [...]
Who Will Show us Some Good?
Tuesday morning a friend in my bible study discussion group made a comment about the promises of Psalm 4 in light of the distressing times in our economy. I let the balm of Scripture sink deep into my mind throughout the day and have been thinking about that passage ever since.
There are many who [...]
Florida
We had a great visit to FL last week to see many friends from our former congregation, attend a wedding, and hear a fabulous concert from the youth choir. It was a great trip, and I just couldn’t get over how big all of the kids seem to me now! Wow. I didn’t [...]
Emilyweek ‘08!
Last year I flavored up my blog with a series of posts about my friend Emily’s visit with her kids to town to see us. It was such a great trip, and this past week we had another “Emilyweek” at our house! Actually it wasn’t at our house because we stayed at the [...]
Nancy

Emilyweek - Icing on the Cake!
We had a great visit, but sadly now it is finished. Emily and kids actually left Friday, and I’m just getting around to writing my last post about out great adventure of diapers, sippy cups, silly songs, and macs (yes, there were three of us on our macbooks one night in the living room, [...]
Emilyweek - Afternoon Snack!
I said we wouldn’t do it, but it was inevitable. We have tried to cram every possible bit of fun and memorable activity into the last two days. We have made a series of trade-offs but still find ourselves pretty tired on the last evening of Emily’s visit. Although I know we [...]
Emilyweek - Pot Pie!
Our week ‘is zoomin’ by pretty quickly, but we’re not going to think about that too much! Ethan, Steven, and Lydia are going to be inseparable by the end of their visit, and Meredith and Caroline are keeping each other quite entertained. The other night we tried to fly a kite in [...]
