The Human Concordance
What is a concordance? My relationship with a concordance is using it for Bible study. Something just occurred to me as I reviewed this definition today. In the thick of trials, we often don’t have time to dig deep into scripture. Our study and prayer is quick and desperate. It’s when what we have studied…

Morning Short version: docs have ordered an enterography CT. It will take detailed pics of the small intestine to identify if there’s truly a blockage or if more advanced foods were introduced too soon given all the challenges.

Unexpected stops, not enough healthy food prepped beforehand. Not good. Not good. Not good! I was economically savvy and made wise food choices for the kids…no fast food or anything, but…

I Choose to Get Up Anyway (March 6, 2013)
Even if Ethnic Man sleeps in. Even if my muscles are sore. Even if all my little lambs are still sleeping and I can get a few extra ZZZZZs. Even if the school district declares a snow day… I will get up and get going. Or in the spirit of Jessica Hulcy, I will get…
