The making of a halloween costume

Matthan decided what he wanted to be for Halloween weeks and weeks ago.  It was a pretty unusual request so I thought for sure he would change his mind and go for something I could buy, like a race car driver or Buzz Lightyear.  I have absolutely no idea where he came up with his [...]

A Cord of Three Strands

A couple of weeks ago, in our home group, we were discussing marriage and Ecclesiastes 4:12,
“Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.” (NIV)
In the context of marriage we quickly come to the conclusion that the three strands equal, the husband, the wife [...]

He’s rearranging my pots

I am constantly amazed at God’s timing … how He uses scripture, friends, circumstances to speak to me (to us) exactly what needs to be heard at specific moments throughout each day, each week, each year.  He’s doing that this very week in my life.  He started off by using my friend, Cookie (through her [...]

I went to football camp this summer

Football starts tonight.  The only reason I know that is because my husband has been talking about it for, I don’t know, the past year.  Now, I’m not one of those gals that knows all about sports and loves them – sometimes I wish I were but most of the time I’m too content hanging [...]

I made a new friend this week, right along side my old friend Robin (and by old, I don’t mean old, old  just that I’ve known her for a while) – what a great friend combination – old and new!  “My Robin” and I headed down to the ATL to meet “Blog Robin.”  I met [...]

Abundantly blessed

On Monday, I got to spend the day with my sweet friend Angie – we’ve been friends since college, were part of each others’ weddings and lived in Dallas at the same time – 12 years of wonderful memories. One day with her is never ever enough, but I’ll take what I can get!  We [...]

We don’t hold back when it comes to having fun

The first weekend of summer vacation arrived and a night of celebration was in order.  We sure didn’t let the fact that neither Matthan nor I were in any type of  school setting this year hold us back from catching the summer hype. We joined forces with our friends The Cawthon’s, put our creative minds [...]

It was my least favorite class

Last week our home group decided to play volleyball.  If you know me at all, you know that sports are just not my thing.  I don’t know much about them, I don’t watch them on TV and I most definitely do not participate in them.  As soon as I read the e-mail stating (not asking [...]
