Nine Years

Jaime pointed out in the comments on my 500th post (which I posted about an hour ago) that today is also our anniversary.  One of the reasons for biting the bullet on the 500th post is to get an anniversary post up.
So today marks nine years of married life together for us.  It’s [...]

500th Post

You may or may not have noticed, but I haven’t been blogging much recently.  Part of the reason for that is that I’ve been coming up on my 500th post and I wasn’t sure what to do to mark it.  So I slowed down my blogging to figure out an idea.  Turns out, I never [...]

Happy Birthday Jaime

Today is Jaime’s birthday.  I’m so glad that God made her and brought us together.  She’s an excellent wife to me and an even better mother to our little Addison. 
She has no “Happy Birthday to Me” post on her own blog, so you can leave birthday wishes in the comments here until she fesses [...]

40 Days

Today is Ash Wednesday.  We begin the countdown to the celebration of Easter today, but first we reflect on our own sinfulness and our need for a Savior as we approach Good Friday.  It’s a great time of the church year, leading to my favorite Sunday of the year, Easter Sunday.
Of course, Easter Sunday will [...]

Overwhelmed With Love

Jaime and I went into Cleveland this past weekend for a family reunion and baby shower.  We felt overwhelmed by all the love that came our way at the shower.  We received several of the big ticket items on our registry, plus lots of fun outfits and other cool stuff.  Can’t wait to actually meet [...]

Thanks, Cindy and Tenley!

After more than 2 years on the job, Cindy is stepping down as our Scrip Coordinator.  I remember approaching her with the idea of starting this Fundraiser at some event in the Gym.  I’m not sure I even remember what it was.  Tenley, one of our friendly faces selling the gift cards, is also leaving [...]

200th Post

I must admit, when I started this journey, I wasn’t sure I’d actually make it this far. As I said in my very first post (which was actually posted on my TypePad blog, a for-pay competitor to the for-free WordPress), I didn’t consider myself an avid blogger at the time, but figured I should [...]

Happy Birthday Jaime!

Jaime turns 31 today.  Leave your well-wishes in the comments!

Sunny Days, Keeping The Clouds Away

It’s beautiful outside. I know that because I have an office with a window now. I’ve nearly completed the move to my new office between Sue and Pastor Chuck. I really like the setup, but as I feared, sunny days carry with them a slight problem, most notably in the late afternoon. [...]

Love Your Enemies

Jenn Bell has been teaching the 6th grade Sunday School class while Marsha Peth does Everyday Faith this semester.  I’m so thankful for Jenn’s willingness to love on the kids in our 6th grade class.  They’ve been working through the Fruits of the Spirit as a class.  For Love, one of the opening activities had [...]
